I'm so frustrated at the process of having prescriptions filled.  It seems like it's all on me to research online (can't always find information), tell the Pharmacy which manufacturer they have to order from.  I have always used Ralph's pharmacy and they couldn't be more clueless about the gluten issue.  When they order from the manufacturer that is not their norm, they turn around and charge me their out of pocket costs over my co-pay.

 

I just spent 45 minutes on the phone with my insurance company -- also completely clueless.  Brought me to tears.

 

Every time I get sick, it takes me almost a week to get a prescription filled.  Even when I was in the hospital in December and they wanted to give me some medication, they didn't know whether or not it was gluten free.

 

Are there any mainstream pharmacies that help people with gluten free prescriptions?  It's certainly not Ralphs.

 

Here is the list of ingredients for Bob's red relish. It looks ok to me, but I am new to this. Am I missing anything? Is it gluten free?

I've been gluten free for 11 weeks so far.  One of the foods I have been eating since going gluten free is Amy's Rice Mac & Cheese.  No GMO's no soy.  I have it once a week for lunch -- except last week I did not have it.

Today I got queasy after eating, and 2 hours later the muscle weakness started to set in, along with the fatigue.  My worst reactions to gluten and soy.

The box says made in a facility that processes wheat and soy.

Am I becoming more sensitive?  Do people normally become more sensitive as they go along, instead of less sensitive?

My sister suggested that grain fed beef would contain gluten. I haven't read anything about this. Do we have to worry about grain fed meats?

I have not been able to find a mayo without soy, and started searching for mayo recipes.

This was super easy and the mayo came out great.
