I would definately call Walgreen's and let them know the $%^ pharmacist isn't willing to help customers. To let them know that poison control doesn't have the answers you need. Do they want your business or not?

I agree, complain to Walgreens about that guy. My local Walgreen's has always been very helpful.

I agree... go above that idiot pharmacist's head... call Walgreen's corporate and YELL!!!! Well, not really, but raise a stink... let them know in no uncertain terms that you as a FORMER customer are extremely unhappy with the way your needs were IGNORED by their very lazy pharmacy employee. Also, call that pharmacy back and even if you don't talk to the same guy, let them know that the advice of calling poison control is not only unsatisfactory in a customer service kind of way, but also dangerous and irresponsible. As pharmacists they have an obligation to do the best job they can.

I had great luck with a Walgreen's pharmacist when I was trying to find the ingredients of one of my prescriptions... He was EXTREMELY helpful and at least TRIED, so they are out there. This particular employee needs a wake up call.

That is unbelievable! I echo everyone else when I say call walgreens and complain about that idiot! That is his job to help you with questions like that (not poisen control's job....I can believe that guy didn't speak English! He would be a big help in an emergancy!). It's not like that pharmasist is getting paid McDonald's wages either! That guy is making good money to be knowlegable and help you with anything drug related. What a jerk! My blood is boiling now! :lol:

Wow! That's horrible. I was just watching 60 minutes the other night and they showed how Walgreen's was costing 4-5x more for prescriptions than other sources. You'd think you'd get some sort of good service for that $$'s.

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @yellowstone! The most common ones seem to be dairy (casein), oats, eggs, soy and corn. "Formed" meat products (because of the "meat glue" used to hold their shape) is a problem for some. But it can be almost anything on an individual basis as your sensitivity to rice proves, since rice is uncommonly a "cross reactor" for celiacs. Some celiacs seem to not do well with any cereal grains.

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity?

      By yellowstone · Posted

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity? I've read that there are foods that, although they don't contain gluten, can cause problems for people with gluten sensitivity because they contain proteins similar to gluten that trigger a response in the body. I've seen that other cereals are included: corn, rice... also chicken, casein. I would like to know what other foods can cause this reaction, and if you have more information on the subject, I would like to know about it. Right now, I react very badly to rice and corn. Thank you.
