Re: Pharmacutical company frustration

[Guest guest]

First, Clan.com offers a for-fee, downloadable list of pharmaceuticals and their gluten status, to the best of their knowledge.

Second, my HMO pharmacy told me they can't reliably provide information on many generic drugs because the supplier may change from day to day. Even if they could keep the data up-to-date, the supplier probably won't give them the gluten status.H.

I've been recently diagnosed with Celiac disease in addition to another

chronic illness which requires lots of medications.

When I called the pharmaceutical companies for ingredient info on their

products, none of them could say that they are gluten free. Some would

not even say if the inactive ingredients were wheat derived or not.

Have any of you had this experience before?
