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 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

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      Is there a digestive enzyme that helps build a healthier gut? I see people taking them but not sure what really works

      So the tTG-IGA at 28 is positive for celiac disease. There are some other medical conditions that can cause elevated tTG-IGA but this is unlikely.

      Thoughts? Non-endoscopic Celiac diagnosis in two year old

      Okay that is really good to know. So with that being positive and the other being high it makes sense she diagnosed her even without the endoscopy. So glad we caught it early. She had so many symptoms though that to me it was clear something was wrong. yeah I think we had better test us and the other kids as well.

      So the tTG-IGA at 28 is positive for celiac disease. There are some other medical conditions that can cause elevated tTG-IGA but this is unlikely. There are some people for whom the dairy protein casein can cause this but by far the most likely cause is celiac disease. Especially when your small bowel lining is "scalloped". Your Serum IGA 01 (aka, "total IGA") at 245 mg/dl is within normal range, indicating you are not IGA deficient. But I also think it would be wise to take your doctor's advice about the sucraid diet and avoiding dairy . . . at least until you experience healing and your gut has had a chance to heal, which can take around two years. After that, you can experiment with adding dairy back in and monitor symptoms. By the way, if you want the protein afforded by dairy but need to avoid casein, you can do so with whey protein powder. Whey is the other major protein in dairy.
