I would like any additions/subtractions/cautions that you know of that

This is Canadian, so people in other countries should beware.

TABLE 111 GLUTEN-CONTAINING PHARMACEUTICALS
Gluten is a complex protein, present in wheat and to a lesser extent
in rye, barley and oats. A fraction of the gluten in
these cereals called prolamines, causes damage to the small intestine
in sensitive individuals with celiac disease.  The
prolamines of corn and rice are not toxic. In the monographs, the
statement "contains gluten" refers to the gluten
derived from wheat, barley, oats and rye.
The following table lists products that contain gluten and is based
on onformation provided voluntarily by the
manufactures for preparations included in the CPS.  In some cases,
raw materials used in the manufacturing process
are obtained from sources other than the pharmaceutical industry and
may contain traces of gluten. It should not be
assumed that products not listed are gluten-free.  This list is not
exhaustive and should serve as an initial screening
tool only. For information on specific drug products, consult the
Supplied Section of individual CPS monographs or
contact the manufacturer directly.
