Generess Fe Birth Control?

I've been on Generess fe birth control pills for almost a year now. 

 

I'm probably just paranoid but I'm worried that it might have some kind of gluten filler or something in it?

 

Does anyone know if it does or if birth control pills have it in general?

I usually look here: Open Original Shared Link

any time I am getting prescription or non-prescription drugs.  

 

I have found a couple that I feel safe with, and another that I called about but they didn't give me a warm fuzzy feeling.  I have used Junel Fe, and Microgestin with no issues.  The one that I called and wasn't sure of began with a "G", but I don't have the label in front of me to say if it was the brand you are using or not.  I can't say that they have gluten in them, but I'd rather be safe than sorry.

 

My pharmacy has been really good with the gluten-free stuff, and has always gotten me one of the two that I listed above.  

 

Good luck!

      Waiting Gastroenterology review

      By RMJ · Posted

      That means the normal range (i.e. not celiac disease) would be a result less than 14.99.  Your result is WAY above that. Some gastroenterologists would diagnose that as celiac disease even without a confirming biopsy because it is more than ten times the top of the normal range.

      Diagnosis and further testing Celiac

      By Redanafs · Posted

      Hi everyone. Back in 2022 I had blood work drawn for iga ext gliadin. Since then I’ve developed worse stomach issues and all other health issues. My doctor just said cut out gluten. He did no further testing. Please see my test results attached. I just need some direction cause I feel so ill and the stomach pain is becoming worse. Can this test show indications for other gastrointestinal diseases?

      Thank you. These were the results TTG ABS NUMERICAL: > 250.0 U/mL [< 14.99]  Really don’t understand the results!

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Clearly from what you've said the info on Dailymed is much more up to date than the other site, which hasn't been updated since 2017. The fact that some companies might be repackaging drugs does not mean the info on the ingredients is not correct.

      To evaluate the TTG antibody result we’d need to know the normal range for that lab.  Labs don’t all use the same units.  However, based on any normal ranges that I’ve seen and the listed result being greater than a number rather than a specific number, I’d say yes, that is high! Higher than the range where the test can give a quantitative result. You got good advice not to change your diet yet.  If you went gluten free your intestines would start to heal, confusing any further testing,
