Rite Aid Generics (Sudafed)?

So l have some generic psuedoephedrine from Rite Aid without a lot number and no box. l called the pharmacy and asked about the gluten-free status and just got a phone number.

 

It seems many companies make their generic products so without a lot number getting some info  wasnt a direct process, l shrugged it off and assumed it was probably gluten-free.

 

No ingredients online but the Rite Aid PE lists pregelatinzed starch.

 

For a few days im getting an increasing headache behind the eye and some dizziness and fatigue. l do have sinus problems and the sudafed can help, so l would like to take one!

 

But really hate to think l am causing this if the starch or other ingredient may be contributing, Anyone know the status of their allergy and sinus meds in general or about the sudafed? l just wanted to save a few bucks but will definitely now just buy brand name!

Thanks. l may be  over thinking starch, most sources say it's usually made from corn or potato.

 

*mostly*

 

But l (TMI?) did get my period early after posting this so maybe the headaches and general hating life was due to that:P l hate suspecting gluten for everything.

 

Does anyone know how often pregelatinzed starch really is made from wheat? On most food they would list it but with  otc drugs l dont think so.

      Isolated DPG-Iga

      By trents · Posted

      So, I contacted Scott Adams, the author of that article and also the creator/admin of this website, and pointed out to him the need to clarify the information in the paragraph in question. He has now updated the paragraph and it is clear that the DGP-IGA does serve the purpose of circumventing the false negatives that IGA deficiencies can generate in the tTG-IGA antibody test.

      Lymph nodes

      By Soleihey · Posted

      Has anyone experimenced enlarged lymph nodes with celiac? Both in the neck and groin area. Imaging of both areas have said that lymph nodes are reactive in nature. However, they have been present for months and just wondering how long this may take to go down. Been gluten-free for about two months. Blood counts are normal.

      Hmm interesting I just assumed that any “IGA” tests including the DPG iga would be negative in a person who is IGA deficient but maybe that is not the case for the DPG test.

      If you were just diagnosed I can say that if you go 100% gluten-free should should see dramatic improvement of your symptoms over the next few months, but the hard part is to stay gluten-free. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
