Anybody know of one??? I was prescribed Sprintec, but reacted very badly to it - apparently one of its ingredients is derived from soy oil. Now, I was given Kariva. I asked the pharmacist if it had soy in it, and was basically told that he didn't know and if I react, it does. Yea - I don't like taking something not knowing, and I also my reactions are extremely severe...

I REALLY REALLY suggest nuva ring. it's not an oral medication, so it does not effect our diet, also if we get glutened or some sort of diestional problems, it's not going to go right through us before it is fully dissoved. It has lower amounts of hormones that are delivered locally so hormones don't effect you as much. also i love the fact I have to think about it 2 times a month. they are "stackable" so you can skip periods, and i have never felt it in me, and my partner hardly notices it.

I love my Nuva ring, been on it 4 years now.

Thanks - this is very helpful, and kind of a real no-brainer. Why didn't they suggest this instead of having me be like a lab rat?????

Thanks!

Some doctors don't offer it thinking people don't like having to deal with where it goes, (eww..down there!) Others just don't think of it when thinking about pills.

Some doctors may just not be up to speed with what is out there. i had to approach my doctor about it, but that was 4 years ago when it was new to the market.

I know back then, if you went to Nuva ring website, you could get your first ring free! I'd check it out.

Thank you very much again - your suggestion was literally and figuratively a real life-saver. I was a little apprehensive, myself, at first - but wow, is it so easy, and no having to take a pill a day at the same time anymore. It's also nice it has a low hormone level, too.

      Fighting for a name

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system

      Scott Adams. I was dealing with a DR that didn't care about me being celiac. I repeatedly told him that I was celiac and is everything gluten-free. He put an acrylic lens from j&j. I called the company to ask about gluten and was told yes that the acrylic they use has gluten....then they back tracked immediately and stopped talking to me. The Dr didn't care that I was having issues. It took me 6 months and a lot of sickness to get it removed.... which can only happen within 6 months. The Dr that took it out said that it was fused and that's why I lost vision. If they would have removed it right away everything would be fine. He put in a silicone one that was gluten-free and I've had no issues at all in the other eye. Do not do acrylic!
