Uti Meds

Help! I've got a UTI right now and just got some meds, but I don't know if they're gluten-free. My antibiotic is okay, but the pain med they give for UTIs is questionable. I was prescribed Pyridium. I was given the generic, Phenazopyridine. Pyridium, in one source I have, is named in a list of "Not gluten free or suspect ingredients" meds. The 800 number given was already closed for the day by the time I called. The pharmacist couldn't find a list of inactive ingredients! This med is similar to Uristat, which as far as I can tell is gluten free by looking at the ingredients list, but I have not yet confirmed anywhere that it is safe. Anybody know about this already??

Here is a link to the drug, make sure you read the whole thing it does have some side effects that could be concerning if you don't know they will happen. Also it states that if you are taking an antibiotic with it you should not take it for more than 2 days. If you are still having symptoms after taking it for two days get right back with your doctor. It can also interfere with some testing so it is a good idea to read this throughly. It is as stated toward the end gluten free if it is the one made by this company. They do describe what it looks like if the pharmacist did not give you the literature.

      Coeliac and Thyroid?

      Thank you ,it’s been a long road for me for having both now ,what upsets the most is that if they discovered that I also have cealiac earlier I would not have injested gluten if I was aware. Double whammy.

      Some interesting articles regarding the use of Zinc Carnosine to help heal gastric ulcers, gastritis and intestinal permeability. I would consult a medical professional about it's use. https://www.nature.com/articles/ncpgasthep0778 https://www.rupahealth.com/post/clinical-applications-of-zinc-carnosine---evidence-review https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7146259/ https://www.fallbrookmedicalcenter.com/zinc-l-carnosine-benefits-dosage-and-safety/

      He is. Which makes everything even more difficult. I’m not a believer in “staying for the kids” but I have nowhere to go and it’s not just me, it’s me plus my babies. We live in a beautiful place, lots of land in the country and me and the kids love the place we’ve called home for their entire lives. But Im seeing that he’ll never change, that my kids deserve a happy healthy Momma, and that staying in this as is will be the early death of me. Then I look at the scars covering my entire body…this disease and the chronic stress I’ve been enduring for years that tell me I’m no longer beautiful and no one will ever look at me with interest again. I try self care, try to give myself grace so I can just start loving myself enough to gain strength but the slightest sparkle in my eye and skip in my step attracts his wrath and it all comes crashing ten fold. Life is just absolutely railing me from every single direction leaving me wanting to wave that white flag bc I don’t feel like there’s much hope no matter what happens.
