Do persons with celiac disease more often have allergic reactions to drugs?
Allergic reactions to drugs are not more common in persons with celiac disease than in the general population.
(Updated .)Can celiac disease cause problems absorbing and responding to orally administered medications?
Yes, but only if celiac disease is undiagnosed; in other words, only if the intestinal inflammation due to celiac disease is still actively impairing absorption.
(Updated .)What exactly is a pharmacist’s role when it comes to knowing if there is gluten in medications?
We encourage you to do your own research through this excellent and constantly updated website: www.glutenfreedrugs.com.
(Updated .)Does someone with celiac disease need to be concerned about gluten in hospital IV medications?
No. Gluten isn’t present in any IV preparation, but even if it were, those with celiac disease need not be concerned, as gluten must be presented to and processed by the intestinal tract to be harmful to celiacs.
