I hope this article is wrong.  I have been taking Advil since GIG
published a letter from the manufacturer (GIG Newsletter - Volume 15,
Number 2, 1990) stating that Advil tablets and caplets are gluten-free.

Has the formula been changed?

The letter is from Joel Hertz, Ph.D., Director, Technical Services,
Whitehall Laboratories, Division of American Home Products Corp., 685
Third Avenue, New York, NY 10017-4076.  It specifies that "starch" must
be corn starch.

If the article from the journal isn't too long, perhaps someone could
post it.  But if it is just a listing of drugs without reasons for
inclusion, it may not enlighten us any further.
