Brands of Gluten-Free Low Dose Aspirin
Jefferson Adams posted an article in Gluten-Free Foods & Beverages
Celiac.com 04/19/2022 - We get a lot of questions from people wondering which brands of over the counter drugs are gluten-free and safe for people with celiac disease. We recently answered questions about whether products like Excedrin, Advil PM and Tylenol are gluten-free--they are. We even recently wrote about Target Bayer Low Dose Aspirin--it's not labeled gluten-free. Still, we continue to see questions about plain old aspirin and low-dose aspirin. Specifically, what brands of low dose aspirin gluten-free and safe for people with celiac disease or gluten intolerance? The answer is not a simple one. Most brands of aspirin and low-dose aspirin are made without gluten-ingredients, and are considered gluten-free. However, there's a difference between products considered to be gluten-free and those certified or labeled gluten-free. For those who want to make sure their brands of aspirin and low-dose aspirin are labeled gluten-free, look for a clear gluten-free label. Also, as with any products, formulations may change, so check labels and ingredients, and choose carefully. The following brands label their aspirin and low dose aspirin as gluten-free. These brands are safe for people with celiac disease. The following aspirin and low-dose aspirin brands state on the label or website that they are gluten-free, or do not contain gluten: St. Joseph's For anyone who wants to be sure that they are getting aspirin that is labeled gluten-free, then look for brands, like St. Joseph's Low Dose Aspirin, that are labeled gluten-free.

Is Target Bayer Low Dose Aspirin Gluten-Free?
Jefferson Adams posted an article in Additional Concerns
Celiac.com 04/02/2022 - We get a lot of questions from celiac community members wondering if certain products are gluten-free. One question we've seen a lot is about low dose aspirin. We've done articles on Aleve, and on Tylenol, both of which are gluten-free. We've even written about concerns that Advil and aspirin might be promoting celiac disease. The question we've seen specifically is: Is Target Bayer Low Dose Aspirin gluten-free and safe for people with celiac disease? The answer is that Bayer does not label their aspirin as gluten-free. That doesn't necessarily mean it's unsafe for people with celiac disease, but it's also fairly easy to avoid gluten entirely by choosing a brand that is labeled gluten-free. The Bayer website says that "We don’t add gluten to our products. However, we can’t guarantee they are 100% gluten free since our products are produced in a facility that manufactures and packages items that may contain gluten." Also, the Bayer Low Dose Aspirin sold at Target is the same Bayer product available elsewhere. Bayer Low Dose Aspirin Ingredients: Active: Aspirin 81 mg Inactive: Colloidal silicon dioxide, Corn starch, D&C red #27 aluminum lake, Dextrose, FD&C red #40 aluminum lake, Flavor, Microcrystalline cellulose, Saccharin sodium For anyone who wants to be sure that they are getting aspirin that is labeled gluten-free, then look for brands, like St. Joseph's Low Dose Aspirin, and others that are labeled gluten-free. -

To All, To Whomever might read this.....good luck on your continued journey! I recently came across this article on how Ibuprofen and other NSAIDs can cause Ulcers and I though it might of interest to others and want to share in the hope that it might help some one else. https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/wellness/perforated-ulcer-ibuprofen-dingell/2021/05/26/93f18ff8-bcc0-11eb-b26e-53663e6be6ff_story.html quoting from the article... "Soon, Dingell said she was regularly downing 800 mg morning and night, which continued long after the initial surgery. By around March, Dingell said her doctors started to raise concerns about how much ibuprofen she was taking. “The doctors warned me,” she said. “They told me that taking it for this long, they wanted to watch me closely, and I thought I was invincible.” Ibuprofen and other pain relievers such as naproxen, or Aleve, reduce your body’s ability to make a layer of mucus that protects the lining of your stomach from gastric acid, said Christian Stevoff, clinical practice director in the division of gastroenterology at Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine." I always wondered how NSAIDs could cause ulcers and this article explains it well! Quoting again... “We think if we’re taking over-the-counter medicines and we’re not feeling anything, we’re okay,” said Dingell, who had been using high doses of Motrin to help with lingering pain from surgery earlier this year. “I didn’t know I had an ulcer,” she added. “I had no stomach pain before this.” Taking pain relievers such as Advil, Motrin, Aleve or aspirin, also known as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), is one of the most common causes of ulcers, experts say. But “there’s a real education gap” among members of the public about the potentially serious side effects of these medications, said Kyle Staller, director of the Gastrointestinal Motility Laboratory at Massachusetts General Hospital. “Just because something’s available over the counter doesn’t mean it’s safe to be used by everyone for any amount of time,” Staller said. Though NSAIDs are “wonderful medications for the relief of pain,” he said, (but) it’s important to remember how powerful they are." ..... When taken for too long they (NSAIDs) indeed can cause ulcers by reducing the Mucus that protects our stomachs... I hope this is helpful but it is not medical advice. Posterboy

02/17/2021 - Celiac disease rates in the US have increased in past decades, along with the use of proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), histamine-2-receptor antagonists (H2RAs), aspirin (ASA) and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Is there any important connection between celiac rates and the use of these drugs? A team of researchers recently set out to measure the association between medication use and distribution of villous flattening among patients with newly diagnosed celiac disease. The research team included Robyn Jordan, Sarah Shannahan, Suzanne K Lewis, Suneeta Krishnareddy, Daniel A Leffler, Peter H R Green, and Benjamin Lebwohl. They are variously affiliated with the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, United States; the Celiac Center, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, United States; the Celiac Disease Center, Department of Medicine, Columbia University Medical Center, United States; the Celiac Disease Center, Department of Medicine, Columbia University Medical Center, United States; and the Department of Epidemiology, Mailman School of Public Health, Columbia University Medical Center, United States. The research team conducted a cross-sectional study of newly-diagnosed adult celiac patients at two institutions. They gathered data on regular use of these medications, clinical presentation, celiac disease serologic status, and distribution of villous flattening. They then compared current ASA/NSAID users against non-users, and current PPI/H2RA users to non-users, with regard to these clinical characteristics. Of 148 patients with newly-diagnosed celiac disease, current users of ASA/NSAIDs and PPI/H2RAs were about 8 or 9 years older than non-users. Just 12% of seropositive patients used PPI/H2RAs, compared to 55% of seronegative patients. Users of PPI/H2RA or ASA/NSAID showed no differences in villous flattening in the bulb and distal duodenum. However, the data show that PPI/H2RA use was associated with seronegative celiac disease. The researches are calling for further assessment on the impact of these drugs on the development, presentation, and course of celiac disease.

Are Advil and Aspirin Promoting Celiac Disease?
Jefferson Adams posted an article in Latest Research
Celiac.com 07/02/2014 - Each year, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), such as ibuprofen, acetaminophen, and aspirin, send more than 100,000 people to the hospital, and cause over 16,000 deaths. These drugs are marketed under brand names such as Advil and aspirin, among others. In some ways, these findings are unsurprising. Studies from as far back as the 1980s have shown that “NSAIDs…disrupt intestinal integrity and long term treatment leads to inflammation of the small intestine.” Recently, a group of researchers reviewed study data from the last 20 years, and found that NSAIDs increase the likelihood of leaky gut syndrome. According to one study by the National Instituted of Health (NIH), all “…conventional NSAIDs studied were equally associated with small intestinal inflammation apart from aspirin…” and “intestinal permeability changes were significantly more pronounced” with some of the tests. Additional data showed that NSAIDs cause intestinal damage when taken in conjunction with exercise. This is significant, because this was the first study to show that “ibuprofen aggravates exercise-induced small intestinal injury and induces gut barrier dysfunction in healthy individuals.” The team concluded that NSAID use by athletes “is not harmless and should be discouraged.” This finding is significant for people with celiac disease, or for those at risk of celiac disease, because permeable and inflamed intestines permit leakage of infectious or toxic substances into the blood stream. This can trigger an adverse immune response, and interfere with proper digestion and nutritional absorption. Gut leakage can also lead to a number of other health problems, including diabetes, asthma, and even heart failure. Source: thedailybeast.com
