I have been prescribed antibiotics for a possible strep throat. Specifically Zithromax. Does anyone know if this is gluten-free and if not what antibiotics might be gluten-free? Thanks.

Your pharmacist will be able to tell you... different brand names may have diiferent fillers etc.

The pharmacist will have a book called the CPS manual (Compendium of phramceuticals) - this book contains all the ingredients in brand name and generici drugs. If it is unclear (modifed food starch) the company will have a direct phone number they can call.

Thank you.

The pharmacist said the ings. were okay, but perhaps I should ask for the list 'cause that's what I'm worried about- things he may not know contain gluten. Thanks again.

The Z-Pack, put out by Pfizer is gluten free. I have called and verified this, as it's the only antibiotic I can take.

According to the Clan Thompson Smart Drug List Zithromax made by Pfizer is gluten-free.

Thank you all very much! I hate to take antibiotics anyway- don't like taking any prescription drugs- but this chest infection is quite nasty. Good health to all.

Lorka,

I'm so computer illiterate I don't even know what a "PM" is! But I would love to have that list. Maybe when my daughter gets up she can explain it to me. Thank you!

Just had a horrible night-throat in a vice grip and chest hacking and now conjunctivitus as well! I took the first dose an hour ago.

Oceangirl--

Sorry you had such a bad night. Hope the antibiotics kick in soon :)

"PM"=personal message. To send one to Lorka, go up to her post, click on "PM" at the bottom left.

Paati,

Thank you! I figured it was a personal message, but, what a dummy I am, eh? Thank you; I will "PM" her now! Thanks for your well wishes.

I am not sure what the list is here. It's a huge PDF file that i got from an autism site because I am both gluten and casein free.

oceangirl - I hope you got my email. I sent it yesterday.

Yes, thank you!

I've been "down for the count" for a couple of days. Feeling a little better now.

Lorka,

Thank you, also, for the other list. Can you see the Canadian flag flying behind my son in the avatar pic? We love your country. (That was in Quebec City- my second home)

      Gluten-Free Bread Causing Reaction?

      By plumbago · Posted

      Could it be something (some additive or other) they added to the rice flour to make it easier to work with or cook?

      Gluten-Free Bread Causing Reaction?

      By gurgi · Posted

      My lips actually have an allergic reaction.  Apparently it's rice flour ontop of the bread, but I don't have a problem with rice. I can't have gluten

      Gluten-Free Bread Causing Reaction?

      By plumbago · Posted

      @gurgi I would look at the ingredients and go through that list to see if an allergic reaction is possible. Regarding m and s soft rolls: I did a search on the ingredients of the gluten free version. It has added B vitamins (b2, b5, and b6). I also see that niacin (b3) was added. Sometimes when people take b3 or, really, too much of it, they get a flush. Again, go through the ingredients, try to figure out what constitutes that powder on the tops of the breads, and see if it could be causing a reaction.

      Almost in remission!!!

      @lydialoo, Tell me about your high dose Thiamine routine. What kind of Thiamine are you taking?  How much (mg) are you taking?  When do you take it? Are you taking a B Complex?   Are you taking Magnesium?

      Gluten-Free Bread Causing Reaction?

      By gurgi · Posted

      I have an issue with some gluten free bread. When I eat bread that has a lot of powder on the top of it (warburtons wraps and m and s soft rolls), my lips immediately become inflamed and sore, then they become red and cracked and sore. Can anyone help me. I am struggling to work out what it is that is causing this.
