Advil-Is This Medication Gluten-Free?

Recently while in the NYU ER getting X-ray's on my fractured foot, the doctor I saw there mentioned that a patient he recently had seen said Advil was not gluten-free.  I was shocked!  Because the last time I checked on my drug list it was!  My mom and I who are both gluten-free and frequently use advil looked at each other, and the doctor then said maybe I was wrong!.  I said, "no, I need to research this for my blog and for myself"!!.  So I went to the advil website and there actually IS some truth to this!!!

I am just so happy I do not take the below meds, but for those that do...STOP!.

Advil Liqui-Gels, Advil Migraine and Advil PM Liqui-Gels contain a Wheat derivative and therefore are not gluten-free!!!!  All other advil products are.  So be careful on which ones you buy!

The annoying part about gf products is that their ingredients are ever-changing, which means that a product that may have been gluten free in years past, may not be now.  So always check with the pharmacist!

I will be reaching out to many drug companies to get more answers in the next few weeks and hope to have more specific answers soon.
