I called the manufacturer that makes my daughter's Vyvanse to ask them if the capsule is gluten free. She explained to me that the ingredients seem to be gluten free, but the company hasn't officially tested this capsule to be gluten free. What are everyone's thoughts on this? Thank you.

It's a cover your butt statement. They don't want to claim that the medication is gluten free because they have not tested it to prove that it is gluten free. But they did state that the ingredients are gluten free. I found the ingredients on the vyanse website and they are What are the ingredients in Vyvanse?

Active Ingredient: lisdexamfetamine dimesylate

Inactive Ingredients: microcrystalline cellulose,

croscarmellose sodium, and magnesium stearate.The

capsule shells (imprinted with NRP104) contain gelatin,

titanium dioxide, and 1 or more of the following: D&C Red

#28, D&CYellow #10, FD&C Blue #1, FD&C Green #3, and

FD&C Red #40.The capsule shells (imprinted with S489)

contain gelatin, titanium dioxide, and one or more of the

following: FD&C Red #3, FD&CYellow #6, FD&C Blue #1,

Black Iron Oxide, and Yellow Iron Oxide.

I don't see anything that contains gluten. For me, that is safe enough because I need the medication and it doesn't have any gluten ingredients, so I deem it safe for me. I haven't had any problems taking the medication either.

Food dyes? In an ADHD medication??? Looks gluten-free but my goodness that makes no sense! My brother was on the Feingold diet as a kid and food dyes would set him into a tizzy.

Yeah I don't get it either. The 70mg capsules are dark blue and bright orange. I don't know why they couldn't have ommited them.

Sheesh. Maybe it's to be sure you keep needing the pills. :P If you find the dyes troublesome you could look into having a compounding pharmacy make you some plain capsules.

      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.

      Taken Seriously

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your post demonstrates the profound frustration and isolation that so many in the Celiac community feel, and I want to thank you for channeling that experience into advocacy. The medical gaslighting you endured for decades is an unacceptable and, sadly, a common story, and the fact that you now have to "school" your own GI specialist speaks volumes about the critical lack of consistent and updated education. Your idea to make Celiac Disease a reportable condition to public health authorities is a compelling and strategic one. This single action would force the system to formally acknowledge the prevalence and seriousness of the disease, creating a concrete dataset that could drive better research funding, shape medical school curricula, and validate the patient experience in a way that individual stories alone often cannot. It is an uphill battle, but contacting representatives, as you have done with Adam Gray, is exactly how change begins. By framing it as a public health necessity—a matter of patient safety and protection from misdiagnosis and neglect—you are building a powerful case. Your voice and your perseverance, forged through thirty years of struggle, are exactly what this community needs to ensure that no one else has to fight so hard just to be believed and properly cared for.
