Dear List Mates,

Happy (almost) Spring.  Brief, 2-line intro:  I was diagnosed with CD in
April 1998, just past my 48th birthday, and I've stuck to a strict
gluten-free diet ever since; I also have hypothyroid disease and severe
early-onset osteoporosis, as well as non-CD-related asthma.  Aside from
chronic pain because of the osteoporosis, I feel mostly fine most of the time.

A few weeks ago, though, I went to see my primary care physician, because
I'd been (I thought) unusually fatigued.  She ordered a bunch of lab tests
and an EKG for me.  The EKG results indicated an abnormality, so she had me
get a second one; I don't yet know the results.  If the initial EKG results
are confirmed -- and I have a sense they will be, because I have the
symptoms -- the results will mean that I have what's known as
Wolf-Parkinson-White Syndrome, which is a form of tachycardia.  From what
my pcp told me, it's manageable.  Managing it would involve my taking a
beta blocker.

I thought I'd get "ahead of the game," in the sense of researching beta
blockers, in the event that I do need to go on one.  So, here is my
question:  Could any of you on the list tell me which beta blockers are
gluten-free?

Thanks in advance for the information!!
