Hi there,

I was wondering if anyone knows if Wellbutrin or Lexipro are gluten free? Anyone here have experience with these? They've been indicated for me (one or the other) but don't know if they're safe for Celiacs.

Thanks!

Hi,

I've stayed away from taking much Allegra-D since getting diagnosed about two years ago because I couldn't get a definitive answer on, of course: IS IT GLUTEN FREE? I do take it when I can't stand it anymore but heck that's no way to live.

It's too bad, because it's the best med for my seasonal and dust allergies.

I would really like (need) to start taking it again. Other medications, over a LONG period of time even in my pre-Celiac life (up to age 45) don't seem to do it for me.

I just read tonight somewhere that Allegra-D contains "corn gluten" but not the gliaden gluten. So...


1. Do people with Celiac take Allegra-D with no ill-effects in the Celiac department?

2. What in the Sam Hey is CORN GLUTEN and do I need to be worried about too? I consume gluten free soups, and they have corn in them. Heck, corn is everywhere too.

I'll hang up and listen to your answer(s).

Thanks!

Riddle me this, Batman:

Choceur Strawberry Yogurt Milk Chocolate Bars have a "gluten free" symbol (the one with the wheat) on the back, but ALSO list WHEAT as an ingredient.

Can someone explain that one to me?


These bars are made for Aldi's (where I shop) in Germany. They have a variety of bars that are labeled "gluten free" but don't list wheat as an ingredient like this specific bar.



Thanks.

Hi,

The past couple weeks I've been getting several headaches per week...not intense, just mild.

The only change in my diet really was I've been eating this Choeceur chocolate from Aldi's labeled "gluten free" or "naturally gluten free." It's made in Austria for Aldi's does not contain anything about any "wheat" in it's allergen statement. Chocolate is just one food I'd like to have back.

It's odd because I rarely get headaches.

I've been eating gluten free for almost a year and a half. I know a lot of celiacs seem to report their headache symptoms lessen after going gluten free.

Anyone have that experience?

I'm seeing more and more products specifically labeled "gluten free," which is a good thing for us I am led to assume.

How exactly does a product get to have the "gluten free" label? I see this label in several forms...the "certified gluten-free" label, the words "gluten free" above a bar code, some Giant Eagle soups labeled "gluten free" right above the words "product of Canada."

I've seen "gluten free" with the wheat symbol, and the same symbol that says "naturally gluten free."

Some products say gluten free on their main label, like Bio-Tech protein powder that is "wheat and gluten free." Isn't that redundant?

Are all these products tested before they can label them like that? In another thread I asked about Choceur chocolates I found at Aldi's here (I was super thrilled...missing chocolate) but someone replied that cross-contamination could still be an issue.

I thought "Well that's crazy!" Then what IS safe to eat then if something can be labeled "gluten free" but could be cross-contaminated.

I'm confused now.
