Hi everybody. I've been checking on some of my over-the-counter drugs to make sure they are gluten-free and wanted to post some information that I found this morning:

http://www.glutenfreedrugs.com/Glutenlist.pdf'>Open Original Shared LinkGlutenlist.pdf Over the Counter

http://www.glutenfreedrugs.com/list.pdf'>Open Original Shared Linklist.pdf Name Brands

Open Original Shared Link Lots of links with information

CVS's number to check is: 1-888-607-4287

I had a severe reaction to Benedryl and had to go to the doctor yesterday, but not due to gluten. Still, I'm checking everything now for gluten.

I hope these links are useful.

Very helpful! I feel like medications are the one food group which you constantly have to check up on for gluten. Our pediatrician gave us a good general rule of thumb for medications as well - the biggest threat for gluten in medications is with capsules. I guess the capsule itself sometimes is made with gluten.

Yes, I still forget sometimes and buy generics and don't check to see if they have gluten in them. Playing catch up right now. I'm taking a generic Zyrtec and haven't had a reaction to it, but haven't been able to find out the name of the manufacturer. Also, bought a non-coated aspirin (NSAID) from CVS that I have to call about.

Have you found any documented evidence that this is factual? If so, please post. Thank you. :)

They use fillers to create the capsules, so it's possible that gluten could be contained as an inactive ingredient.

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶

      Thank you so much for the information and kind message! Reading this transformed how I’ve been viewing my efforts and progress. Guess there’s still a lot to celebrate and also heal 😌  Yes, I’ve been taking it! Just recently started taking a multivitamin supplement and separated vitamin D! I also took chewable Iron polymaltose for ferritin deficiency 2 months ago but was unable to absorb any of it.  Thank you again! Hearing such gentle words from the community makes my body and heart more patient and excited for the future.
