Shop n Save, also known as Hannaford Bros. states that all of their

Elise, Try asprin and ibuprofen sold under the house brand at Longs
Drugs. They are both g-f and use corn starch. Ellen Switkes

Bufferin is a form of asprin and it is GF.

The last I knew Wal-Mart brand asprin was GF, the starch in their asprin
was corn starch...you might want to call Wal-Mart to double check as that
was a year ago and ingredients do change over time.

I have been told that Bufferin is GF, and have been taking it without
problems. I'm sorry, I don't recall the source of the information. Judy

Motrin is GF, but that isn't aspirin, either, I guess!

I find it very interesting to hear that Bayer products are not gf. The
CSA guide that I received last fall says that Genuine Bayer Aspirin is gf
so I guess one almost has to call every time that they use anything. Both
the CSA Guide and the Tri-County CeliacGuide both state that Advil is gf,
In the Northeast, Shop n Save states that all of their pain relievers
are gf and they have an 800 number and will research any of their food
products for you also.

I recently saw a post that stated Ecotrin has been checked out as gf --
it's just enteric coated aspirin, so it's easier on your tum. (I'm sure
an archive search on "ecotrin" would turn up that particular post
