We emailed Haleon, the maker of Advil, and asked specifically about Advil Liquid Gels and Advil Coated Tablets. Their response: gluten is not added during manufacturing, but since they don’t test the end products for gluten, they cannot guarantee Advil is gluten-free.

What The Manufacturer Stated:
“Gluten is not added to any Advil product during the manufacturing process. However, we cannot guarantee that minute amounts of gluten or gluten derivatives are not contained in raw materials obtained from various suppliers for our manufacturing process since the end product is not tested for gluten. Consumers with known allergy to gluten or experience gluten intolerance/ celiac disease should consult their doctors for further advice.”
A Gluten Free Ibuprofen Alternative:
Try Foster & Thrive Ibuprofen. They are labeled gluten free. Always verify on the current product box or bottle as formulas can change.
