what are the ingredients?

As a general rule, liquids going directly into mucous membranes (other than the mouth) or into the bloodstream are not going to have gluten. That means nose spray, eye drops, IV fluids, and lubes are all gluten-free. There's not only no reason for gluten to get in those things, it would be dangerous to have big proteins like gluten floating around.

Besides, unless you're going to be licking your own eyeballs at any point, it won't make a difference.

Eye drops are mostly salt water, and if it's normal clear eyes, that's all it is.

Doesn't look like it has gluten.

When I go into a store and ask for help finding something gluten-free, they always seem to mention, well, this one has all natural ingredients, let's read them, it's probably okay! I always answer, for some reason, all natural ingredients usually have something I can't have ... but when it's a list of chemicals like that one, it's usually fine. :blink:

Entirely industrial, and gluten-free.

lubricant, polymer, polymer, vaso-constrictor

Next time, for a more natural approach, go for saline

I have no clue!!! They put so much crap in some of that stuff anymore... It wasn't even *clears throat* "wild" type lube. And I wondered why I got a burning rash from that stuff... Hmmmm... :lol::lol::lol:

Lister--I work for an optomitrist and he says that the over the counter stuff is off limits. If you have an infection in your eyes, get to your optomitrist and get some meds made for your eyes. He has not done me wrong since I worked there and he has seen me 3 times in 18 months. He treated me for an allergy to the oak trees and for dry eye now and I trust his word. Seek some real help--please. Deb

Um, do what you gotta do to reduce redness. Eye drops are gluten-free. It's almost totally plastic

righty o, did not end up needing to use them the red ness did not come just was in a panic state because i forgot i had a meeting at work and was not sure if the flare would subside before i had to go and completly forgot about the fact that i have problems with wheat and almost put it in my eye then figured i should post first

instead of adding a new post i know this is offtopic but its about food

orde-li frys, i know there on the delphi list but i just still wanted to see if anyone had cc issues since they do make other products

btw im so thrilled to learn that mission has dedicated lines :) i love there chips

      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.
