I take Claritan--my Allergist considered putting me on Zyrtec, but he said that if the Claritan works for me with no side effects, I should just stay on it. I need to take it every day now because of my cat and dust mite allergies.

I am on Zyrtec and I also use Tylenol PM or real OTC allergy med at night (you wouldn't believe what I went through before I started shots 4 years ago!!!) in addition to the Zyrtec and nasal sprays.

In our house we use daily or often these allergy meds:

Claritin (tablets and Redi-tabs)

Flonase (nasal spray)

Patanol (eye drops)

Benadryl (tablets and liquid)

For cold/flu symptoms we also use Dimetapp liquid.

I used to use Zyrtec for my seasonal allergies, until my insurance stopped paying and I refused to pay $75 out of pocket each month! They told me to use Claritin. Claritin doesn't really help me, but I can pretty much control my allergies with the Patanol drops and the Flonase.

I used Zyrtec, it worked fairly well for me. Then I tried Claritin, which doesn't touch mine. Allegra just gives me smashing headaches. I like the Patanol for my eyes (I can see! I can see!), but the AquaCort spray caused massive sores in my nasal passages.

I take zyrtec for my allergies (dogs, dustmites, tree pollen, etc). I also use Nasonex spray.

I take all sorts of allergy meds, but I take a lot less now that I'm gluten-free. I was using my inhaler a lot, and I rarely have to anymore. I still have pet, dust, and mold allergies.

Watch out for generics. I found out that my Walgreen's version of Claritin isn't gluten-free, so I have to buy the name brand. It's reasonable at Costco.

      Hi Scott, yes I have had symptoms for years and this is the second GI I have seen and he could not believe I have never been tested. He called later today and I am scheduled for an endoscopy. Is there a way to tell how severe my potential celiac is from the results above? What are the chances I will have the biopsy and come back negative and we have to keep searching for a cause? 
    • Aussienae
      I agree christina, there is definitely many contributing factors! I have the pain today, my pelvis, hips and thighs ache! No idea why. But i have been sitting at work for 3 days so im thinking its my back. This disease is very mysterious (and frustrating) but not always to blame for every pain.

      "her stool study showed she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that." The wording of this part of the sentence does not make any sense at all. I don't mean to insult you, but is English your first language? This part of the sentence sounds like it was generated by translation software.

      What kind of stool test was done? Can you be more specific? 
    • mishyj
      Perhaps I should also have said that in addition to showing a very high response to gluten, her stool study showed that she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that.
