Be Aware of Gluten in Medication

Individuals who suffer from gluten intolerance or sensitivity must pay close attention to ingredients, as even a small amount of gluten can cause a reaction. Even over-the-counter and prescription meds can contain gluten. To avoid gluten in medications, the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics suggests: carefully read the ingredients on all your meds, talk to your physician about your gluten issues, and ask your pharmacist to double check ingredients on the medications you are picking up.
