HI

Just joined 2 days ago and have been looking at the subjects and posts. This is the first time I've sent a post so forgive any mistakes---

I was dx'd with celiac disease 11 weeks ago and have been 100% gluten free to the best of my knowlege...Loosing weight like crazy and I've been fighting this battle for years so I'm very encouraged however; July 31 dx'd with UTI and put on Cipro ( have alot of drug allergies) for 10 days. Didn't seem to go totally away so went on doxy for 3 days and then ended up in ER with hives and trouble breathing. Was it the cipro or doxy WHO KNOWS. ER Doc. gave me some antihistimine and predizone which makes me a crazy lady...can't sleep. Now it seems I itch all the time....question...still gluten free...can antibiotics screw up the diet. The cipro was on the 'gluten free drug list' Any help will be totally appreciated.

Has anyone had itching with celiac disease even with compliance" Don't have the symptoms that the dermatology term they use here in the topics...just the itching...Now I'll have to figure out how I can read the answers you all might give me! Thanks for you time.

My most recognizeable symptom of gluten is itching (no rash) and cold chills. Claire

I have a lot of itching, I had to change my soap to Dove and my shampoo to Garnier Fructis. I used to use Nexxus but it has wheat in it. My back still itches, don't know why (no rash). It could be your soap or skin lotions. I was on Doxy for 10 days, couldn't find out if it was gluten-free but the skin started to peel on my fingers, a sure sign that I got some Gluten! Hope this helps...

I personally would blame the cipro. I hate that drug. Too many I know have reacted bad from it. From what I understand it is way too strong for most and shouldnt be given so easily.

I wound up in hosp from it for days, it wiped out all the good bacteria in me.

My boss almost was given a trach from it-- breathing problems.

my daughters boyfriends grand dad died after taking it and it wiped out all his good bacteria, he was unable to fight it.

OOOOOO-I also would be likely to blame the Cipro. I took it once and had a terrible allergic reaction--terrible hives and itching, and had to go to the emergency room as well, steriods etc. Cipro causes allergic reactions in a lot of people. Be careful to not take any sulfa drugs either--I had an idiot doctor give me some and I reacted...they are related to Cipro and if you have probs with it, you will have issues with sulfa drugs. Also--watch out for Celebrex--also sulfa related. Hope the itching goes away soon!

WOW, thanks for all the info on Cipro. The dr's want me on doxy now for two weeks. the Watson manufacture I called said it was gluten-free but I don't trust any of it now.

I am learning so much from all you!

I think I might have to disagree here. (Hate going against the tides. :( ) But Cipro does not have sulfa in it and it is not related to sulfa drugs other than it's an antibiotic. Most doctors give this to patients that have an allergy to sulfa drugs, because it IS that safe. And it is gluten-free. Is there a possibility that you took the generic version that might not be gluten-free? I ask because at one time, my pharmacy gave me generic even if I didn't ask for it because I got a larger discount with my insurance. They're just trying to save me money, but I had to inform them of my gluten-intolerance. Now they help me by checking with the manufacturer for me before I even pick up the script.

gluten-free but the skin started to peel on my fingers, a sure sign that I got some Gluten!

This is one of my first signals as well. Strange peeling too. Little circles of skin peeling off like I had blisters there. But I never have the blisters or any itchiness at all. Just peeling skin. Strange.

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
