Help
I've been feeling pretty crappy the past week or so, and I've been trying to figure out what it could possibly be linked to. I realized I just started taking some allergy meds again - OTC generic Claritin from Walgreens.
Wal-itin (Loratadine)
Does anyone know offhand if this has gluten in it? What is pregelatinized starch? I checked their website but they don't have any info other than what's already printed on the bottle.
I'm hoping it's the culprit!

Gluten-free since July 8, 2006
Casein-free since October 16, 2006
Went six weeks, and fell back into a deliciously painful world of cheese.

Stupid cheese addiction....2/07
Dx Hypothyroid in 1993
Dx Gluten & Casein Sensitive through Enterolab 10/06
Dx Adrenal *Exhaustion* 2/07
Originally from WI, I am still in denial over my newfound casein intolerance. I fear I will not be allowed back into the state if I can no longer eat cheese and drink milk. This could pose some trouble over holidays when I wish to visit my family. It also poses a problem involving the severe rage I feel when I have to throw away somebody's unfinished cheese sticks. That is so wrong.

I would just call the company in the morning. Better to know for sure than guessing ingredients.
The NOT SAFE list that I often refer to (http://www.celiacsyn...index.php?id=16) lists starch as an unsafe ingredient (depending on the source).

Thanks!
It was my little revelation right before bed, which was unsuccessfully researched. I will call the company as soon as it is 'business hours.'
