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.

yes sir!

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.

All Allegra products are gluten free.

Allegra 24 is casein free.

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.

      This article does not address migraines at all.  Yes, red wine and sulfites are often mentioned in connection with migraine triggers. With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines are tied to fluctuations vascular tension and blood flow to the brain. That's why the sumatriptan works so well. It is a vaso constrictor.

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.

      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.
