Is "glutenin" Safe For Celiacs?

I was trying to confirm whether my birth control medication (Yasmin) was safe (I had always assumed it was but thought I should double-check) so I called the company. It was explained to me that gluten is made up of glutenin and gliadin, and it is only the gliadin that is "thought to" cause problems for celiacs. Yasmin contains glutenin (thought to not be a problem) but not gliadin. I found it a bit weird that the guy kept saying these things are "thought to" cause problems or "thought not to" cause problems....like they don't know for sure. Has anyone else heard this before? Can we use something with glutenin? Yasmin is the only pill that works for me....the others caused nasty side effects.

Yasmin is listed as gluten free below. With this information and information from the company, I would consider your BC safe.

I've seen it on the gluten-free lists before too....my only concern was that all of the lists I"ve seen seemed to be from the US. I'm in Canada, and sometimes our food and drugs have different ingredients than whats available in the US.

Is this "glutenin" derived from corn or wheat (or something else)? That would be important to know.

Regardless, I take Yasmin with no problems. I've also seen it on many gluten-free lists.

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      By cristiana · Posted

      Interesting, when I suffered for a few months with ectopics I noticed that carbohydrates would cause indigestion and bloating in my stomach, then that would lead to my heart skipping beats, and I could feel it in my throat, it was very unsettling.  My last serious bout of this was after eating a Muller Rice Pudding for breakfast.   I happened to be wearing a 48 hour halter at the time and cardiology picked it up, but they weren't worried about what they saw. There was some British doctor who'd made some videos on the Vagus nerve that I remember watching at the time which made sense of what I was experiencing, there did seem to be some sort of connection.

      I asked my cardiologist about stopping vitamins.  He said his tests account for all detectable vitamins from sources other than food.  I only need to stop them for a couple of days.  He has me keep records of meds and vitamins I've ingested over the past 10 days and prior and he does his calculations.

      Do some people with Celiacs develop hypoglycemia?

      By jessysgems · Posted

      Reply to treats I try and eat to bring up the glucose. Sometime I get up 3 times a night and eat something. I don't think food is the issue. A lot of the food they say should help doesn't.  Many mornings my level is 59 and I feel sick, sometimes for hours. It has been recommended I go to an Endocrinologist.
