well now, how would you know unless you made the drugs your self, or knew the person that did?

gluten is used as a binder in many pharmaceutical drugs, so any "street drugs" in a pill or powder form would be questionable. Powders (such as cocaine, some speeds, crystal LSD) are "cut" to increase the quantity, and hence the profit. If you don't know what's in it, and you've got noone to ask....you're taking a huge risk!

"Natural" drugs (Such as pot or mushrooms) shouldn't be any more a problem then fresh veggies though..

Good question, people in this and other countries do use illegal drugs....medically and otherwise....so having knowledge and asking questions is a good thing. we can make the substances illegal, but knowledge about them should never be restricted...

Many drugs such as heroin, cocaine, crack etc. They are cut with numerous things such as: cornstarch, sugar, flour, some have been known to cut them with cleanser and other nasty substances. So, needless to say I wouldn't be taking them.

If its man-made, its suspect. If its in a pill form, the binders are suspect. If its on paper, like LSD can be, the paper and the additive are suspect. Most LSD in "dot" form is cut with strictnine, which is what gives the "joker grin" effect. Fun eh? If its a powder, the cut is suspect. If it doesn't look like it came right off a tree or a bush or a cactus, I would suspect it of having gluten. Thats my philosophy on everything, figure it can most definitely extend to drugs.

      Anyone had endoscopy with a cold/cough???

      By awright24 · Posted

      I have my endoscopy on Thursday, has anyone had the procedure done with a cough? I don't have a continuous cough, but every now and then throughout the day I have sort of coughing episodes. They are a lot better than they were but I called endoscopy and they said to speak to my gp and my gp got back to me and said I need to ask endoscopy if its ok if I have it done still.  Help!

      Not Sure What to Think

      By MMH13 · Posted

      Thank you so much, everyone. For the moment my doctor just has me taking iron but hopefully we can reconnect soon. I'm going to look into genetic testing, too. Great advice all around and I appreciate it--and you can bet I'm going off the PPIs!

      Sore muscles

      By Eldene · Posted

      I walk fast for fitness, 4 to 6 km per day. I am also 74 years old. Apart from the Celiac challenge, my lifestyle is healthy. I had a sciatiac nerve pinching under my one foot, with inflamation in my whole shin. It was almost cured, when the other shin started paining and burning. I do stretches, use a natural cooling gel and rest my feet. Can Celiac cause muscle pains/inflamation, or is it just over-excercising?

      Trader Joe's grocery prodcuts

      By LovintheGFlife · Posted

      I recently started shopping at a nearby Trader Joe's store. I was surprised at the number and variety of (healthy) gluten-free options sold there. I must admit their low prices are also quite tempting. However, I am curious as to the labeling on all their packages. While none of their products are certified as gluten-free, many are identified as 'GLUTEN FREE' on the packaging. Are these items safe for celiacs? Has anyone tried Trader Joe's products and have there been any adverse reactions?

      Gluten challenge

      By Beverley Ann Johnson · Posted

      HI, my doctor suggested one week of consuming gluten before blood tests.  I have been gluten free for 3 years.  Has anyone been through this and will I get exact results after one week of consuming gluten?  I don't even know if I can do this, if I get sick I am not sure if I can continue, any suggestions??  Thanks in advance.
