Last November, the National Foundation for Celiac Awareness (NFCA)
announced that it would conduct a first-of-its-kind research study on
gluten in medications, funded by the Food and Drug Administration
(FDA). NFCA, partnering with St. John's University College of Pharmacy and
Allied Health Professions, is conducting this research in two parts. The
first part of the study is happening now: a survey of the celiac and gluten
sensitive populations.


NFCA’s Gluten in Medications Survey is available at
 www.CeliacCentral.org/Survey.


NFCA urges all people who are following a gluten-free diet to participate.
Participants will be asked about their experiences taking medicine. They
will also be asked to share information if they think they might have had a
gluten-related reaction to an over-the-counter or prescription medicine.


Results from the survey will guide the second phase of the study: our team
will test some of the medicines identified in the survey to see if they
contain gluten.


This critically needed preliminary research aims to validate or nullify the
anecdotal adverse experiences associated with gluten in medications that
have been reported by people with celiac disease and gluten sensitivity.


Again, you can participate in the this survey by visiting:
