I take Claritan--my Allergist considered putting me on Zyrtec, but he said that if the Claritan works for me with no side effects, I should just stay on it. I need to take it every day now because of my cat and dust mite allergies.

I am on Zyrtec and I also use Tylenol PM or real OTC allergy med at night (you wouldn't believe what I went through before I started shots 4 years ago!!!) in addition to the Zyrtec and nasal sprays.

I use Equate brand multi-symptom cold relief, nighttime formula.

In our house we use daily or often these allergy meds:

Claritin (tablets and Redi-tabs)

Flonase (nasal spray)

Patanol (eye drops)

Benadryl (tablets and liquid)

For cold/flu symptoms we also use Dimetapp liquid.

I used to use Zyrtec for my seasonal allergies, until my insurance stopped paying and I refused to pay $75 out of pocket each month! They told me to use Claritin. Claritin doesn't really help me, but I can pretty much control my allergies with the Patanol drops and the Flonase.

I used Zyrtec, it worked fairly well for me. Then I tried Claritin, which doesn't touch mine. Allegra just gives me smashing headaches. I like the Patanol for my eyes (I can see! I can see!), but the AquaCort spray caused massive sores in my nasal passages.

I take zyrtec for my allergies (dogs, dustmites, tree pollen, etc). I also use Nasonex spray.

I take all sorts of allergy meds, but I take a lot less now that I'm gluten-free. I was using my inhaler a lot, and I rarely have to anymore. I still have pet, dust, and mold allergies.

Watch out for generics. I found out that my Walgreen's version of Claritin isn't gluten-free, so I have to buy the name brand. It's reasonable at Costco.

      A friend of mine is in the bar trade most of his life and has never heard of lines being mixed for different type of beers and ciders. Better to stick with cans.

      Thanks very much for confirming my suspicion @Scott Adams! That helps a lot because I'm really trying to track down and get rid of these sources of cross-contact and so I'm going to just rule out the draft ciders and hope that helps. Also @Rogol72 its nice to hear you haven't had a problem on that side of the pond - draft cider lines being used for cider only certainly sounds like the right way to do it, but I think that must not always be practiced over here!

      I didn't ask a doctor about this actually. I did ask several doctors a long time ago and they told me gluten has nothing to do with hashimoto's. One of them told me to do a gluten challenge to test for celiac, but at the time I was in graduate school so couldn't afford to be even more ill than I was. If you have the symptoms, I really don't advise you to do a gluten challenge. It messed me up mentally and physically for months. At the same time, I benefitted from doing the challenge in the sense that it convinced me that all my symptoms were truly from gluten - even stuff like insomnia! So now I am terrified to eat gluten, whereas before I would have a little once in a while and not notice anything dramatic.

      I am in a similar situation where I can't feasibly do a gluten challenge but have all the symptoms and I have 2 celiac genes. I'm curious if your doctor advised you to eat as if you had a diagnosis or if they were more dismissive about it. 
    • Zuma888
      Negative, although I had most of the symptoms of celiac disease. I now eat as if I had a diagnosis.
