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

Trust me, it's a big difference. The biggest being that chemE's are far more attractive (IMO) than chemists ;):lol:

I actually had a bottle of lube that I had to throw out because of wheat germ oil... Ugh... :rolleyes:

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

another btw

yay a celiac came into my work today, yay im not alone in my small town, i guess that explains the fight to get gluten-free food from fred meyer - seems to sell out fast

      Thank you for the welcome and reply. The first test was tissue transglutaminase IGA and it was normal. The second test just simply says IGA and it was 638. You definitely answered my question, it sounds like im negative for celiac since the 1st test was normal, and that another condition has caused the abnormal result of the IGA. That's exactly what I was...

      Welcome to the forum, @daniellelawson2011! First, we need to deal with terminology here. When you refer to the "ttg" test I take that to mean the ttg-iga. And when you refer to the "iga" test I take that to mean total iga since the magnitude of the score would suggest that. Total iga is not a test for celiac disease per se. It is run in order to check...

      After struggling with many different symptoms for years with no diagnosis, I decided to do my own research and I stumbled upon an article about celiac disease. I asked my PCP to order a ttg and iga. The results: the iga was high at 638. The ttg was negative. Of course I will discuss with my doctor, but i would like to hear from people that have went through...

You definitely answered my question, it sounds like im negative for celiac since the 1st test was normal, and that another condition has caused the abnormal result of the IGA. That's exactly what I was wondering. Im almost positive I have MS and I've read results are higher like that with early onset. Or it could be IBS. Hopefully the visit with the neurologist will give me even more answers and point to a final diagnosis. I really appreciate you taking the time to reply and for helping. Thank you so much!

And when you refer to the "iga" test I take that to mean total iga since the magnitude of the score would suggest that. Total iga is not a test for celiac disease per se. It is run in order to check for iga deficiency. If you are iga deficient, then the ttg-iga and other iga tests that are specific for celiac disease will be abnormally low and this would potentially produce false negatives. You are not iga deficient but, rather, your total iga is abnormally high. This can suggest underlying health conditions, some of them can be serious in nature.  ...

I asked my PCP to order a ttg and iga. The results: the iga was high at 638. The ttg was negative. Of course I will discuss with my doctor, but i would like to hear from people that have went through the process of diagnosis to maybe give me some insight on what this means and where to go from here. Also of note, i had a brain mri which showed white lesions which arent typical at 44 years old. I have many MS symptoms. I go to the neurologist on Tuesday, but just curious if anyone knows if there is a correlation between iga and MS. I...
