I wrote to the pharmacist who maintains the glutenfreedrugs.com web 
site since it was from his page the information came about Synthroid 
not being guaranteed to be gluten free. My 21 yr-old daughter had a 
right thyroid lobectomy in December and started taking Synthroid in 
January. She is highly gluten intolerant and we certainly didn't want 
to add gluten issues to getting her hormones regulated! I asked the 
pharmacist about Synthroid and why he had that comment on his page 
about it. He replied quickly:

"It was strictly due to the companies response. My recommendation is 
to continue the Synthroid and not worry about their response. 
Hundreds of celiacs successfully take Synthroid and it is the best 
thyroid product on the market."

and gave me permission to post his reply to the list:

"Absolutely.  My advice has always had been for patients never to 
change from Synthroid unless there are significant personal or cost 
issues. They set the bar for quality and consistency.  Steve"
