Call the maker to find out. If you have the scripts filled already their name should be on the bottle. If not call the drug store and ask. If the scripts are not filled yet ask when going to fill them what company makes them before picking them up. Most companies you can get their phone number by putting their name and the words contact info in a search engine. I find it quicker to call rather than emailing.

I second raven. Whenever I get a new scrip I call the pharmacy to find out what company manufactures their generic. I then call that company to find out if it is gluten free. I do have 2 back-up pharmacies for when my preferred pharmacy can't fill for me. Don't bother asking pharmacists to provide you with any information, they simply do not have that information to provide. The few times I've been asked why I need to know who the manufacturer is they've looked at a box or bottle and said "oh it doesn't look like there's gluten in it" or "wheat isn't on the label" and I've had to work very hard to suppress the urge to climb across the counter and strangle them.

      Does anyone know any good gluten free lip balm?

      By Lockgirl · Posted

      I have been using their toothpaste and some of their other products that are labeled gluten free. Sorry about that. It is so frustratingly hard to get clear answers from companies on gluten content.

      I've been using eos lip balms. I usually get it at costco. Eos has little round balms, but also stick ones like chap stick. Costco has both. They are labeled gluten free when you buy individual balms, but the combo package from costco isn't always labeled gluten-free. The company web site says they are gluten-free. I'm pretty sensitive, I use the balms all day every day, and haven't had any reactions.

      Last time i checked, Burts Bees does not label anything gluten free. They had 1 lip balm that contained gluten, and their site said their products can be made on shared equipment.

      13 y/o new celiac dx and joint pain

      By cristiana · Posted

      I had rib pain, but also hip and leg pain - google sacroiliac pain, it's common in coeliacs. SI joint pain affects the hip, buttock and thigh area.  When I had it at its worst it was incredibly painful, a sort of burning sensation. If this is what your child is experiencing, she may find it helpful not to wear tight jeans or waistbands.  Any pressure around the area exacerbated the pain greatly.  Also, I am sure the lower quadrant bloating I was experiencing at the time made things a whole lot worse, that internal pressure seemed to add to the pain.   One other thing is that it is important that your daughter wears the right shoes, avoiding very flat unsupportive soles or heels, and doesn't overdo exercise that jarrs the joints.  The good news is that for me it did get much better as my gastric symptoms improved, particularly the bloating - but it did take a few months.  You may find these links helpful: https://www.spine-health.com/blog/common-triggers-si-joint-pain-and-how-prevent-flare-up#:~:text=The SI joint can become,the joint to flare-up. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19504097/ If your daughter is experiencing rib pain, that could be costochondritis.  I had that too, and a similar sort of burning.  Again, when my GI symptoms improved so did the pain.  Bloating will still kick it off from time to time. But I am glad you are having D levels checked, as low levels can contribute to joint pain.

      Newly Diagnosed

      By Russ H · Posted

      Approximately 1 in 3 adults have neurological symptoms on diagnosis. The mechanism and pathogenesis is unknown. These normally go into remission on a strict gluten-free diet. Common symptoms are anxiety, slow thinking, 'brain fog', memory problems and headaches. Although I think I have had coeliac disease in a mild form since childhood, my symptoms suddenly became much worse in later life. Along with the gastrointestinal symptoms and fatigue, I developed a tremendous sense of doom, anxiety and paranoia. The diet can be awkward at first but becomes easier with time.
