Does anyone use inderal LA and xanax for gluten-caused anxiety and subsequent hypertension? What's your opinion of it?

I don't know about the inderal but the Xanax does not have a gluten-free form, so I would avoid that one. Have you thought about maybe going with acupuncture for anxiety relief? It may do the trick and not mess with you brain chemistry. For many being gluten free takes care of these issues and they only come back when glutened. My family just deals with the occasional mental effects from being glutened because we know they are limited. For others the diet is not enough and I will let them give advice on the inderal.

Xanax does have a gluten free form. You just have to call the pharmacutical labs and check for the gluten free status of the drug. I finally found a generic Xanax (Alprazolam) made by Mylan Labs, which is gluten free. I did make many calls until I found it. Then, of course, you have to call the pharmacies to find one that carries this generic, but it can be done. NEVER SAY NEVER! An associate at Mylan Labs told me that most of their meds are gluten free, but to always call and make sure. I have had to use my Xanax 3 times this year and have never had a bad side effect from it--finally, I do not react to my Xanax and I am so happy about that.

I have taken it once for a glutening, and the other 2 times for panic. I have been very stressed at work as of late. Try to find a pharmacy that carries the Mylan brand of Xanax (Alprazolam).

Hi Deb,

I switched from Xanax (due to gluten issue) to Klonopin six months ago, but would rather have Mylan alprozolam. I was planning on calling the local pharmacies to see if it is avalable (some Walgreens and CVS stores carry it), but I wondered if you may know of one in the NYC area that carries Mylan's generic version.

Thanks!

My Walmart gave me generic Zanax for $4, which happened to be Alprazolam from Mylan.

There are no Walmarts in New York City at this time, but I made some calls today and found that a CVS in my area has the Mylan Alprozolam, so as soon as I get the Rx that's where I'm going to have it filled.

Thanks

      Celiac flare years after diagnosis

      Bread has about 8 g of protein per 100 g, so a piece of bread weighing 125 mg contains 10 mg of gluten. Bread has a density of about 0.25 g/ml, so 0.5 ml of bread contains 10 mg of gluten - i.e. a bread ball 1 cm in diameter. I think it would be unlikely to ingest this much from throwing bread out for the birds.

      Sciatica came to mind for me as well. You might want to get some imaging done on your C-spine.

      Maybe this is sciatica? When mine acts up a little, I switch my wallet from one back pocket to the other. this isn't a substitute for more serious medical help, but for me it's a bandaid.

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

One of my nerves that likes to "burn" or whatever is doing it every time I bow my head! I mean it is completely repeatable. Literally every time. Once my head goes beyond a certain angle *boom*. Nerve goes mental (lower right leg pain). What the...

One of my nerves that likes to "burn" or whatever is doing it every time I bow my head! I mean it is completely repeatable. Literally every time. Once my head goes beyond a certain angle *boom*. Nerve goes mental (lower right leg pain). What the hell. I've never seen a direct trigger such as this before that I can recall. The pain was the usual type I get from this problem - I suspect somehow the head movement was interrupting descending inhibition processes, causing the pain to leak through somehow.

      Zaalouk moroccan eggplant salad

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      I've only made this a couple of times but it's really easy and I love the flavor. If you can, use all of the ingredients to get the full palette of flavors. I use fresh or canned tomatoes and I don't worry about peeling them. If you don't have harissa, there are replacement recipes online. If you don't have the greens, I suggest adding a little chopped baby spinach or celery leaves to add a dash of green color to this red dish. Best eaten in first couple days because flavor tends to fade. Leftovers are still good, but not as vibrant. Ingredients 2 medium eggplants, partially peeled and cut into cubes (original recipe says 1 in, but I prefer 1/2 to 3/4 in) 2 tomatoes, peeled and crushed 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped or minced 1 tablespoon fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil 2 tablespoons spicy harissa (I use Mina brand) 1 teaspoon cumin 1 teaspoon paprika ½ teaspoon black pepper 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or lemon juice 1 tablespoon tomato paste (optional) Salt to taste Preparation     • Heat olive oil in skillet or pot over medium heat. Add all ingredients and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cover and cook on low heat for an additional 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.       • Serve warm or cold as a side or with bread for dipping. Enjoy!
