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).

      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.

      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.

      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.
