Hi Everyone,
Does anyone know of a gluten-free "low" strength aspirin (around 81 mg)? I
contacted St. Joseph and they provided me the list below of undetectable
gluten products. However, they did not list the "low strength" aspirin
specifically so this may not be safe. They do list the "enteric coated"
which matches the low strength box so I'll try to clarify with them.
Thanks for your help!

Glutens are naturally-occurring proteins found in grains such as wheat,
rye, barley, and oats, but are not found in corn. The primary source of
starch in our formulations is corn. Relatively small amounts of other
materials used in our formulations may contain starch from other sources
(e.g. potato, rice).
We are not aware of published reports associating the use of our products
with a worsening of symptoms in patients with celiac disease.
We hope this information is helpful.
