Is Meloxicam Gluten Free? (Page 2)

I have been taking meloxicam for 1 1/2 weeks and I am experiencing celiac symptoms. I would like to know if meloxicam is gluten free.

REPORT

I just started taking meloxicam 15 mg for osteoarthritis pain and am diagnosed celiac for 12 years. I am having a bad headache and some gastrointestinal issues. If it is gluten free, then what is triggering these symptoms?

After days and days of research, I found that Zydus pharma Meloxicam appears to be GF. Ive taken for 8 month with no issues. I also read Mobic pharma Meloxicam is also GF but haven’t taken since Im doing well on Zydus.

I would recommend checking with your doctor. It could be anything besides gluten causing the issue.

I’ve read that generic Pepto Bismol by Target and Walgreens are gluten free. The brand may not be since they don’t test form cross-contamination. Depending on gut pain, I’ve tried peppermint tea, chelates charcoal capsules, baking soda in water. Eat bland like rice, potatoes plain, gf crackers, bananas, applesauce.

Andrea here’s what I have learned. I myself am allergic to wheat, corn and rice among other things. The above items are in many many foods and medications. This becomes an issue for us with allergies.

I have found that that the doctor has to tell me what the prescription he’s going to give me. When the pharmacy tells you it’s ready for pick up the work begins prior to picking it up. Call the pharmacy and find out the manufacturer (especially important if it is a genetic medication). Then Research the ingredients. For each ingredient question whether or not the ingredient is derived from whatever you’re allergic to. I had found this works the best however it is time consuming. Since I’ve done this there is so many things I cannot take however I get cross contaminated a lot less often.

I am back on ZYDUS generic Meloxicam, am very sensitive to gluten, and have zero issues. If you have other allergies, check with the manufacturer. Zydus claims to be GF.
