K so Ive been exhausted for like 2 months. The only thing ive changed is my ADD medication (Teva-Methylphenidate ER-C)

the ingredients are :methylphenidate hydrochloride 54 mg. Nonmedicinal ingredients: hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, lactose monohydrate, microcrystalline cellulose, polyvinyl alcohol- polyethylene glycol copolymer and colloidal silica, simethicone, stearic acid, iron oxide yellow, iron oxide red, polyethylene glycol, and titanium dioxide.

Ive been on google for over an hour and cant find anything other than the non generic form is on the safe list (Concerta)

Does anyone have a link to share or some insight on this.

Call the manufacturer & ask. That's always the best thing to do.

Called the doctor and they said to call the pharmacist, pharmacist doesn't seem too concerned but never looked at the list of excipients.... Frustrating

Your best bet is to contact the manufacturer (as Squirmingitch suggested).  

My doctor has no time to worry about medication containing gluten.  My pharmacist admitted that she does not have the time to help me, but recommended that I take responsibility and always contact the manufacturer.  My pharmacist did help by insuring that my thyroid replacement medication (Armour) is ordered in a full bottle, sealed and direct from the manufacturer.  I have to give her credit for being honest with me.  I also see her running around non-stop, so I believe that she is super busy.  

Why did your doctor switch your medication?  Can you go back to your old brand?  How is your thyroid?  

This is a bit off topic, but I subscribe to the Bicycling magazine.  I found this article fascinating about the impacts of cycling, swimming or running on ADHD.

I hope you figure it out!

      Ichthus is the Greek word (using English letters) for fish. The letters in the actual Greek word form an acronym that come from the first letters in the Greek words for "Jesus", "God's Son," "Savior".   Now, back to your family's denial of your celiac disease, I think you can relate to this:

      Anyone Else Experiencing These Symptoms?

      By Mantooth · Posted

      Thanks for the kind words. It's hard to convince my doctor to investigate further because of a negative blood test and he only tested me for one marker. 🙃 I've come to the point where I need to take this into my own hands because the doctors are infuriating and it's not going anywhere. I've been gluten free for a week and feeling better but I was still consuming dairy and I think that's what's backing me up. Next week no dairy introduced.

      By nanny marley · Posted

      Hello mantooth nice to meet you it's so uncanny what you wrote you sound just like me even the back issues are exactly the same and I'm new here too trying to find out if I have the same had I too have been struggling to find answers with my docters I don't have a diagnosis but I've been struggling like forever and was told ibs and health aniexty was my problem but on researching I've come to the conclusion it's probably more because i cut gluten and lactose out for 6 months and  it was a incredible change for me so although I can't help with diagnosis I can say your not alone in trying  to find answers 😊
