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!

products have been reformulated to improve the flavor or release of 
medication. We would not expect to find gluten in the new ingredient 
components necessary to reformulate these products.

have been tested and do not contain detectable levels of gluten:

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.
