I am severely reactive to corn and all corn derivatives. Armour Thyroid contains ingredients which COULD be corn derived; does anyone know if they are? The list I'm wondering about: calcium stearate, dextrose, microcrystalline cellulose, sodium starch glycolate.
Thank you!

As you are aware Armour Thyroid is distributed in the US by Allergen USA Inc..
The inactive ingredients are the ones you mention.
Now, the most qualified person you must double check with is your Pharmacist/Chemist for your own safety.

As you are probably aware, inactive ingredients are sourced from various primary ingredients, and the only way to really know is to ask the manufacturer. As I haven't figured out how to do that yet (but will go look further) I thought: maybe someone who is allergic to corn has tried Armour Thyroid, and knows?
My pharmacist has absolutely no idea, nor has any pharmacist. Maybe they will know how I can contact the company, but in the past, numbers from my pharmacist have been no good for private patients.
