<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Hi, all, I will be having a C-section in August, and I wanted to know if I need to talk to the doctors about GF IV drugs. I'm under the impression that gluten-containing ingredients in oral medications are used as binders or coatings. So would there be a reason for drugs administered intravenously to have gluten in them? In addition to the epidural, I'll be receiving IV antibiotics, as well. Any input would be helpful. Thanks!
