Hmm...Interesting. Found this:I had a septic patient refuse antibiotics until we find out if there's gluten in it
I completely ignored the request for obvious reasons
but then the nurse starts freaking out and gets upset because she might be giving gluten to a gluten-allergic patient
out of overwhelming boredom I ask the pharmacist if it has gluten in it
apparently it did, and so does a few other antibiotics we carry
I don't remember which antibiotics it was because I still don't care, but apparently gluten-free antibiotics is a thing
Gluten content of medications:
Gluten content of medications. - PubMed - NCBI
Just another thing for patients to freak out about, I guess.
