Hi,

In my post on "advice from a pharmacist,"  one response from Canada was the
following:  "In Canada, only 4 meds have gluten into them.  All the thousands
of other ones are GF.  All we have to know are the list of these four ones."

I found this amazing, and wondered if anyone knows any statics about meds that
are not gluten-free in the US.  Is there anyone who knows a lot of common drugs
that contain gluten?  Is this a generic drug thing?  A US drug-filler issue?
Please enlighten me.  This clearly goes beyond the realm of knowledge of my
pharmacist friend, so I'm not sure where to get this info.  If I don't get it
from this list, I'll refer it to Gluten-Free Living Magazine.

Thanks,
Diane,
