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.

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @yellowstone! The most common ones seem to be dairy (casein), oats, eggs, soy and corn. "Formed" meat products (because of the "meat glue" used to hold their shape) is a problem for some. But it can be almost anything on an individual basis as your sensitivity to rice proves, since rice is uncommonly a "cross reactor" for celiacs. Some celiacs seem to not do well with any cereal grains.

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity? I've read that there are foods that, although they don't contain gluten, can cause problems for people with gluten sensitivity because they contain proteins similar to gluten that trigger a response in the body. I've seen that other cereals are included: corn, rice... also chicken, casein. I would like to know what other foods can cause this reaction, and if you have more information on the subject, I would like to know about it. Right now, I react very badly to rice and corn. Thank you.
