<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Nexium is NOT GF. Here's an email response I received from someone that contacted the company. My sincere thanks to the family that sent this email. Jill "I researched Nexium on 10/31/01 and it is NOT gluten free. I called the manufacturer ASTRA PHARMACEUTICAL at 800-225-2787 and was advised that the product contains "sugar spheres" that contain starch from variable sources including wheat. There is a possibility that Stokes can compound this product without the offending spheres." I have in my notes several other similar products for GI issues that were declared by the manufacturers to be gluten free. The information is as follows: ACIPHEX - This is made by several manufacturers. The two that I contacted on 10/31/01 were EISAI at 888-422-4743, and JANNSEN PHARMACEUTICA at 800-526-7736. Both manufacturers made blanket statements that their version of ACIPHEX was gluten free at that time.PREVACID - TAP PHARMACEUTICAL 800-621-1020. On 10/31/01 they stated that this product contains no gluten, no ingredients from wheat, oats, rye, barley or spelt. The starch in this product is from corn. PRILOSEC - ASTRA PHARMACEUTICAL 800-225-2787. On 10/31/01 they said that this product was gluten free, but my wife developed abdominal cramps from this product and we will not risk it again. PROTONIX - WYETH-AYERST LABS 800-999-9384. On 10/31/01 the manufacturer said that both tablets and injectible versions are gluten free, but my wife had a non-celiac reaction (dehydration, hoarseness and ultra dry mouth) and cannot tolerate this product.
