Does anyone know of any gluten-free/casein free seasonal allergy relief? Benedryl makes me tired, and I don't know any more. Claritin, I just checked, has lactose. I can hardly swallow! PLEASE! :D

Yes... Claritin , heres thier offical answer to me..

Dear Vincent,

Thank you for your interest in Claritin.

All forms of Claritin are naturally gluten free.

The Claritin Reditabs, Children's Claritin Syrup, and Claritin-D 24 hour are milk/casein free. The Claritin Allergy, Claritin Hives Relief, and Claritin-D 12 hour formulas contain milk or lactose.

Again, thank you for contacting us.

Sincerely,

Jim

Someone here posted not too long ago that Wal Mart's version of "claritan" was gluten-free. It my be worth checking to see if it was also casein free--much cheaper.

Thank you! I checked Clartin Allergy, and that's why I saw the lactose. I hope they have it Canada! I'll go check. Also, on their website there is a coupon (for Americans...) if that helps out.

Lactose free and CF are not the same thing, it can be lactose free and still contail milk (casien). Do you know if its casien free?

:) There are no casein derivitaves in the ingredients, but when I call, I was going to make sure of that too! Such a process, eh? I know they are different - but thanks for clarifying for others.

Please post. I start my new outdoor job on Monday and I can feel the allergies already. LOL

I find that if I drink lots of water with a little sprinkle of salt for the electrolytes, I don't get allergies. My non-gluten-intolerant daughter finds the same thing. Doesn't work for my hubby though.

Also, I found that if I supplement quercetin regularly I don't get them. I haven't had to do this this year, just staying hydrated has been enough.

I've had very bad allergies in the past.

He could only check one at a time, and had to research each one, so I only asked him about the one that I bought. I know I should have asked about all of them, but I felt bad.

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      I put on over 12kg by eating protein with every meal, 3 to 5 times a day. Eggs, Chicken, Tuna, Turkey etc. I stay away from too much red meat as it can be inflammatory. Scott is correct. I've come across a bunch of Coeliac PT's on Tiktok and Instagram. They all say the same thing, the key is getting enough protein and consistency.

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's great to hear that eliminating gluten has helped alleviate symptoms like eye burning, which is a significant and positive change. The first and most important step is to ensure you're consuming enough protein throughout the day to support muscle repair and growth, which can be challenging with a busy schedule. Since you're already physically active at work, adding focused strength training just 2-3 times per week can make a major difference. Bodyweight exercises like squats, push-ups (modified if needed), and lunges, or using resistance bands at home, are excellent, efficient places to start. Remember, consistency with these short sessions and prioritizing post-workout recovery, including good sleep and hydration, are just as crucial as the workouts themselves. It's a smart, gradual process at any age.

      suggest gluten free food

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Trader Joe's carries a good variety of affordable gluten-free foods like bagels, hamburger buns, pasta, etc. I like Franz Gluten Free bread, which is available at my local Costco. Food For Life and Little Northern Bakehouse (advertisers here) also make excellent gluten-free breads. Costco also sells gluten-free pizzas, crackers, gravy, etc.
