Hi.  I took Cipro (Cobalt mfg)  last night for a UTI...and flucanozole (Ivax/Teva mfg).  I feel horrible this morning!!!  Does anyone know if it might contain gluten?  I tried calling both mfg, but they are closed for the weekend.  I am being tortured...just trying to see if it's the medication, since I'm due to take it again.  Can anyone out there help?  Thank you.

Might want to check this list?  Maybe the meds bother you and it has nothing to do with gluten?

Thank you for your help.  I checked it, and it says Cipro, but does not list it's generic equivalents.  Bummed...

Call the pharmacy they will be able to tell you.  I get all my meds at Walmart and the pharmacist always checks mine for me.

Thank you.  We use Walgreens, and they are not usually helpful since they just read the ingredient list looking for it.  I did that already, but the pharmacists can't tell me whether the main ingredient is derived from a process of gluten as secondary.  Those ingredients are not required to be listed, or whether they run it on equipment that has had gluten.  I am super sensitive, so the pharmacist is no help.  Thank you so much for trying though:)

Please read the drug sheet provided by the manufacturer.  It should have been provided with the drug by your pharmacist. If not, it's available on-line.  This drug (Cipro and it's class of fluoroquinolones) has a black box warning (FDA's sternest warning)  which means there are significant side effects.   The worse side effect is spontaneous snapping/ruptured tendons!  I will never take this drug again (given after my gallbladder surgery)  as I developed neuropathies from it.  The side effects can last and develop for years.  Please do some research on this drug.    

 

I had no side effects from the anti-fungal you're taking (my liver was happy).

I had a bad reaction to Cipro as well, turned red all over like a lobster and my doctor

told me never to take a quinolone/flouro antibiotic again. Could be just the drug?

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/

      Gluten related ??

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi everyone  This has been a crazy year so far... How many people actually get entire sensory overload from gluten or something similar ?  My jaw is going nuts ..and that nerve is affecting my upper back and so on ...  Bones even hurt.  Brain fog. Etc  I had eggs seemed fine.   Then my aid cooked a chicken stir fry in the microwave because my food order shorted a couple key items .   I was so hungry but I noticed light breading and some ingredients with SOY !!! Why are we suffering with soy ? This triggered a sensitivity to bananas and gluten-free yogurt it seems like it's a cycle that it goes on.  The tiniest amount of something gets me I'm guessing the tiny bit of breading that I took one tiny nibble of ...yikes ..im cringing from it .. Feels like my stomach is going to explode yet still very hungry 😔  How long does this last?! Thank you so much

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.
