<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> I just read the following post from Fran in Oregon after receiving a number of positive responses to my inquiry regarding Advil and Tylenol. List members had checked with the manufacturer and received an OK re the gluten-freeness of these products. But here Fran also checked with a reliable source (the manufacturer) and received a different answer! As a newly diagnosed Celiac, what I am finding MOST frustrating is the frequent inconsistency in information from reliable sources. One book or pamphlet will say one thing about an item and then a different one will say another. There are inconsistencies in answers from manufacturers and restaurants, too. A reliable Boston Chicken source told me the turkey was OK to eat - then I read in another realiable source that it is NOT. How do we know that the person from the manufacturer who is giving us the answer really has the background to tell us if their product truly is 100% gluten-free? How many times? How many ways - do we have to check on an item before we can feel secure that what we are eating is safe? Even if a restaurant tells you that a certain item is gluten-free, that piece of information can change in the blink of an eye if the store manager or manufacturer decides to use a different test recipe or ingredient. They sure won't be checking in with l'il ol' me first!!! So, what I see here is living with a constant concern that you are unknowingly making a mistake which can damage your body without even your knowledge!!!! Am I making a mountain out of a mole hill here? How do I know which answers to finally accept? How can I learn to "Chill out" over this whole thing? Or should I? >Advil gluten free? I personally called the manufacturer's of both Advil & >Tylenol last week & both confirmed THERE ARE TRACE ELEMENTS >OF GLUTEN IN ALL FORMS OF ADVIL & TYLENOL. (my gut >confirmed this by having a reaction to Tylenol). >By all means do some research of your own- especially on something as >important as Osteoporosis for Celiacs with severe malabsorption >problems.
