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.

      Thank you for the links to the articles.  Interesting reading. I'll be telling my brother in law because he has a lot of pain

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
