I have been diagnosed celiac (gluten intolerance) for 8 months and I am wondering if there was gluten in over the counter medications (such as Tylenol, Zantac among others), thank you

I use these medications occasionally and have cut out gluten completely, but still have stomach pain.

Good morning, Madam,

This is a very good question! It would be very laborious to list here all the over-the-counter medications that contain gluten (or that could contain it by cross-contamination). That's why I refer you to a very good site that I use regularly. You will find there the medications that do not contain gluten. You should also know that from one brand to another (Rx.: original Tylenol Vs acetaminophene of the brand Personnelle), there are differences in the elements used to make the pills. So look for the brand name that is on the list.
