Is anyone on Fluoxetine 20 mg CAPSULES by Sandoz? Are they gluten free? I called Sandoz and they said, "we do not test for gluten but our inactive ingredient suppliers tell us that they do not use wheat, barley, rye or oats in their products"? I just do not want the cross contamination...

I need it to be lactose free as well and they assured me that yes it is lactose free.

If anyone who is taking or has taken this medication can tell me if they have or have had any effects?

I have been trying to find one that will not make me sick!!!

Thank you kindly in advance for any responses.

Sorry to hear you are having problems with your Fluoxetine. I haven't taken the 20 mg capsules for awhile now because my doctor has me down to ten mg and its a tablet (my issue is hormonal perimenopause mood swings). The 20mg would make me looser in the a.m. (prozac is usually what they put IBS people whose symptoms are constipation vs diarrhea on because it tends to loosen them up) I've never had a problem with the generic's making me sick gluten wise though. What are your symptoms?

I have not tried the "capsules" yet. I was taking the tablets and I am not sure if it was the lactose or gluten but I was horribly distended with very painful gas and constipation. I know the capsules are lactose free so I am hoping that if they are gluten free as well I should be fine. I used to take the tablets manufactured by Teva and had no problems but I can no longer get them from Teva : (

If you've had no problems with Teva and haven't had any changes in your diet otherwise, then your probably right that the new prescription is giving you the problem. I wonder if there is some sort of milk protein in it since Prozac normally loosens thing up? Perhaps a sister drug to prozac such as zoloft, paxil, or lexapro would have a gfdf generic for you? Hope you find an answer soon. Maybe someone else has some experience as well.

      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

      OK so I just learned something completely new about this for the first time in years, that is REALLY WEIRD. 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...

      Zaalouk moroccan eggplant salad

      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...

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.

      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!

      I checked consumer labs that I'm a member of they independently check products for safely and claims the wolfs was rated great and bobs redmill buckwheat cereal. Ultra low gotten no dangerous levels of arsenic heavy metals, mold, yeast etc. plus they mention to refrigerate. I wonder if the raw buckwheat they rinse bc it's not toasted like kasha. Toasted removes the grassy taste I have to try the one you mentioned. I also bought Qia which is a quinoa mixed got great reviews.
