I would like to make a correction.  The cited paper was published in
July 1994 from the Duke University.
(Miletic et al.  Identification of gliadin presence in pharmaceutical
products. Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition 1994;
19:27-33)

They analyzed 59 prescription and non-prescription medications and
summarized their results in a table. Their list included cold
medications, pain-killer medications and medications used for
gastrointestinal problems etc

It is important to know  that Lactase enzyme supplement (Dairy Ease) had
gluten in both their tablet and drop form.  Furthermore, Gas-X
(simethicone), Pepcid (Famotidine), Tagamet (Cimetidine) also contained
gliadin.
