That might explain why I reacted so badly to it last week! Does anybody know for sure what "starch" means? Also, I was given Endocet (generic Percocet), and I can't FIND an ingredients list for it. Does anybody know if that contains gluten?

It is my understanding that it can be wheat or corn. Have you contacted the pharmacy or the manufactuer?

It's probably gluten-free but the only way to be sure is to call the manufacturer.

In theory, "starch" in a pharmaceutical can be wheat, but I have never encountered a situation where it actually is. Whenever I have asked, it has always been corn starch.

In food, the single word "starch" is corn starch in both Canada (by law) and the US (by federal guideline). Other sources will be stated (this does not apply to "modified starch).

      Burning sensation when I wake up

      @Healthforme, No prescription needed for thiamine hydrochloride, Benfotiamine, and TTFD (Tetrahydrofurfuryl Disulfide).  They are available over the counter.   Thiamine Mononitrate is not recommended because the body doesn't absorb or utilize it well.

      Help with genetic testing

      HLA-DQ2 is NOT a continuum 2.01 to 2.99, but I don’t understand HLA genetics well enough to explain it further.  It is not just one gene that is either this or that.

      Help with genetic testing

      By trents · Posted

      Okay, I'm taking a guess here. We are used to hearing in layman terms that having either the HLA-DQ2 or the HLA-DQ8 gene, either heterozygous or homozygous, presents the possibility of developing active celiac disease. So, I'm guessing that the HLA-DQ2 gene is actually a range of variants (2.01-2.99) with HLA-DQ 2.5 being in the centerpiece of the range. I'm also guessing that "permissive" is equivalent to "possessing the possibility" to develop active celiac disease and does not address the issue of hetero vs. homozygus per se. But the fact that 2.01,2.01 is a couplet may indicated homozygousity? All wild guesses.

      I received the results that my child has the genes for celiac disease (she is still undergoing testing and it has been complicated). Can someone explain if this is homozygous HLA DQ 2.5 or not? The interpretation just says permissive for celiac disease. Thank you! DQ Alpha 1  05:01, 5 DQ Beta 1 02:01, 02:01 DQ serologic equivalent 2,2
