Recently my face has been breaking out really bad in acne and rashes. My dermatologist perscribed an antibiotic- Sulfameth/Trimethoprim which is the generic form of Bactrim. I can't find this anywhere on the internet if this is Gluten Free or not. My pharmacist was no help to me. Can anyone help???

Hi and welcome! :D

You will need to ask the pharmacist the name of the manufacturer--he/she will know this.

Then, look the company up on the internet, call them directly and ask. You can always ask here, too--but you need to include the manufacturer, as there could be several different companies making the generic. They would all have a slightly different "recipe" regarding the inactive ingredients.

you need to find out the brand (apo, novo etc) it should say on the bottle. you might also have luck looking up sulfatrim DS which is the other name the med is known by.

      How to work through food paranoia

      By MegRCxx · Posted

      I have recently started a gluten free diet (waiting for confirmation via endoscope biopsies) I had started to reduce after the biopsy and then had a McDonald’s which confirmed to me my suspicions so decided to go full gluten whilst on holiday as i wanted to enjoy myself, since being back i have noticed that i have got increasingly more anxious due to feeling sick when i had accidentally eaten some on holiday. And not im reading labels worrying if everything doesnt state is gluten free but the ingredients look like they check out may still have gluten in.  Im panicking myself making myself feel worse and seem to be at a bit of a loss, i dont know anyone else with coeliac disease and am finding it all quite overwhelming. any advice is greatly appreciated:)

      Guide to colleges for celiac disease

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      We've done some articles on this over the years: https://www.celiac.com/search/?q=colleges&quick=1&type=cms_records2 You might also check College Confidential or Reddit’s r/Celiac for firsthand student experiences. Some schools, like the University of Arizona and Oregon State, are known for their allergy-friendly dining halls—calling their nutrition services directly can give you specifics. If you’re touring campuses, ask about dedicated prep spaces, ingredient labeling, and student support groups. A guide focused solely on this would be so useful—maybe someone here has found one?

      Gluten free parakeet food

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Most commercial parakeet seed mixes contain gluten-based fillers like wheat or barley, but it is possible to find (or make) a gluten-free alternative. A good starting point is to look for mixes that focus on naturally gluten-free seeds like millet, flaxseed, hemp seeds, quinoa, and buckwheat—just double-check for cross-contamination. Some specialty pet stores or online retailers (like Chewy or Amazon) may carry gluten-free options if you search carefully. If you’re open to DIY, you could blend your own mix using safe seeds and supplements. Just avoid any processed pellets or mixes with unspecified ‘grain products.’ Have you asked your vet or an avian specialist for recommendations? They might know of niche brands. Wishing you and your parakeets the best—hope you find a great solution.

      Is tTG 9 normal after 4 months gluten-free?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      For people with celiac disease hidden gluten in their diets is the main cause of elevated Tissue Transglutaminase IgA Antibodies (tTG-IgA), but there are other conditions, including cow's milk/casein intolerance, that can also cause this, and here is an article about the other possible causes - if she eats out in restaurants this could be the culprit for cross-contamination issues:
