Hydroval Hydrocortisone Cream

I was prescribed Hydroval cream 3 days ago for a rash. It is a hydrocortisone cream. In the first 24 hours I started having nausea. Since then I have also had stomach problems, insomnia, gas, more frequent bowel movements, and even sore lower back.... but the nausea is the worst.

I have been gluten free for 6 months and all my symptoms (except for fatique) have gone. I know I did not eat anything with gluten. The only thing I have done differently is use this cream. I asked the pharmacist but she says there is no gluten in the cream .... but then again she also didn't know anything about celiac or gluten intolerance. I have emailed the pharmaceutical company (TaroPharma a division of Taro Pharmaceuticals Inc) so hopefully they will get back to me soon.

Has anyone out there had this reaction to this cream or another hydrocortisone cream?

I thing this forum is the greatest thing - thanks for all your help. :D

It may be gluten free, yet you may be having an allergic reaction to it. Many people can not use hydrocotisone cream. Doctors will tell you it's completely safe, and you can't be allergic to it because it's what they use for allergic reactions, but that's not true.

I had a nasty sunburn and the doc I work for told me to thickly lather on hydrocortisone cream every few hours. I did as I was told and found out I can't use hydrocortisone cream. I get terrible hot flashes from it...that's when I read up on it and found that many people can not use it. I have since tried it again, with the same reaction.

Thanks for your reply. TaroPharma did get back to me. Apparently there is no gluten, but they did make a report about my complaint.

Yeah, I'm allergic to it too, but I don't think it's a gluten related deal.

      Wheat Straw Dishes

      By SophiesMom · Posted

      I have been looking for new dishes. I was surprised to find dishes made of wheat straw. Are these safe for us? I'm very careful to avoid products that may contain gluten. I never thought I might have to check for wheat in dishes.

      IgA levels - What do they mean?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Hope07! The reference range would refer to what is considered normal in healthy people. So, 7 or less would mean there is no indication of "active" celiac disease. Apparently, you are doing very will in avoiding gluten. The "Tissue Transglutaminase IGA" is the centerpiece antibody test that clinicians run when checking for celiac disease. My only reservation would be that whenever the TTG-IGA test is run, a "total IGA" test should also be run to check for IGA deficiency. When IGA deficiency is present, other IGA tests, such as the TTG-IGA can be artificially low and result in false positives. In the absence of any symptoms indicating your celiac disease is...

      IgA levels - What do they mean?

      By Hope07 · Posted

      Hola! Not sure if I’m asking this in the right place so apologies if not! I just had a full blood count as part of my first check up after being diagnosed with celiac disease 7 years ago!! With Covid lockdowns then living in Spain for 3 years and now back in the UK, I kept getting missed in the system but finally I’ve had a check up! Does anyone know what this means?  Tissu transglutaminase IgA lev:  0.30 U/ml Reference range:  Below 7 Thank you!
