<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Dear Friends All the replies I got said Lipitor is Gluten free. The references used were from Stokes Pharmacy. Other suggested cholestrol lowering drugs were. Baycol, Colested, Cholestipol, Lopid, Mevacor, Pravacol, Questran, Questran Lite, Zocor One person suggested this. There are a few natural things you can take to lower you bad (LDL) cholesterol. One is Kwai a garlic supplement. The are small white tablets. They don't have a taste and it doesn't come back up on you later. Another is called Guggul, the standard extract of the Indian mukul myrrh tree. You can find the garlic at Wal-Mart and Nature Sunshine carries the other. Yes, it sure is a funny sounding name. Best of luck.--The book Prescription for Nutritional Healing plus other herb books mention both. Do your own research to be sure you feel comfortable. My Dad takes the garlic. Likes it better because it has no side effects and is much cheaper. Thanks to all those responded I now have the information that I need when I eturn to my Dr. Christina
