Gluten And Medicine

People with Celiac are usually experts in label reading,
they look at a food label and can find any hidden gluten.
However, unlike packaged foods, there is no official U.S.
regulation to label non medicinal ingredients for gluten
content.

It's difficult to discover whether the inactive ingredients
such as binding agents added to give pills bulk are derived
from foods such as corn, potato or wheat. 


For people with Celiac ingesting a drug without knowing
what is in it, is like walking down a road blindfolded. 

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration brought in the
national standard of less than 20 parts per million of
gluten for a food to qualify as gluten free in August 2014,
but doesn't appear to find the same need in relation to
prescription or over the counter drugs.

In May 2015, the FDA denied the request of a NY petition
that called for the banning of gluten as an inactive drug
ingredient, or stating on label contains gluten.  They feel
the amount is small enough not to affect people.  However,
there have been many affected by the amount of gluten in
certain medicines.

People need to research themselves of all the medicines and
vitamins they take.  If you need too, call the company directly.
You may want to stay with vitamins that state gluten free. 
Till more research is done, you will need to decide.
My advice, if you aren't sure do not take it.
