Do Any Otc Pyridium Meds Have Gluten?

I have intersticial cystitis and about one a week I take a over the counter pyridium med. You know the stuff to help UTI's feel better. They come in with the same active ingredient as the prescription med, but have different names as inactive ingredients. I have had no probs with several different brands. Recently I used Brooks Pharmacy brand with no problems. The second package I took a dose from caused a hive break out all over my hands, wrists and face. I did not think it was from this though. I then took 3 more doses with no probs. The next dose caused a similiar but milder reaction. Again, I did not think it was from the meds. This past weekend I took a dose and 15 minutes later broke out with hives on my feet and hands and my mouth felt tingly. I had to take benydryl to make it go away. Obviously it is an allergic reaction. Do you think there could be gluten in the product? I never had this reaction before to gluten. Also, why would I have a reaction, then no reaction and then a reaction again with the same brand and box??? I need this med for my flare ups!! Any info would be helpful. Thanks. Are there any brands that you know definitely are gluten free?? AZO??

This sounds like a clear allergic reaction and seeing as it is getting worse when it comes back it would be very unwise of you to take this med again. Have you been to the doctor? If not you should head there and tell him also of the reaction.

Why would I react and then not react for 3 doses and then react again?

      Gluten related ??

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi everyone  This has been a crazy year so far... How many people actually get entire sensory overload from gluten or something similar ?  My jaw is going nuts ..and that nerve is affecting my upper back and so on ...  Bones even hurt.  Brain fog. Etc  I had eggs seemed fine.   Then my aid cooked a chicken stir fry in the microwave because my food order shorted a couple key items .   I was so hungry but I noticed light breading and some ingredients with SOY !!! Why are we suffering with soy ? This triggered a sensitivity to bananas and gluten-free yogurt it seems like it's a cycle that it goes on.  The tiniest amount of something gets me I'm guessing the tiny bit of breading that I took one tiny nibble of ...yikes ..im cringing from it .. Feels like my stomach is going to explode yet still very hungry 😔  How long does this last?! Thank you so much

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.

      Is this celiac?

      By Beverage · Posted

      Exactly which blood tests were done? There are a few different ones and some docs don't do them all. Also, your results and reference ranges for each?

      Thankyou so much for your words.Its a hard battle when a supposed well known hospital whose celiac " specialist " has down played me because my colon looks fine and put it in my medical and so pcp doesn't take seriously. In their eyes we all carry that gene.Im having alot of bad days trying to be positive because of it.
