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

      Gluten related ??

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Thank you so much for your response  Yes it seems as though things get very painful as time goes on.  I'm not eating gluten as far as I know.  However, I'm not sure of cross contamination.  My system seems to weaken to hidden spices and other possibilities. ???  if cross contamination is possible...I am in a super sensitive mode of celiac disease.. Neuropathy from head to toes

      We feel your pain. It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/
