I was hoping someone could help me with gluten free medicines. On Friday I got extremely sick, and I have got some crazy issues going on. First of all, as I mentioned before, I have untreated Candida. I tried the generic for Diflucan, but I was too sick to keep taking it. I just went off my pain medicine (tramadol) that I have been taking for about 3 months (cold turkey), and I have some terrible flu bug. I have this Terrible Pounding Headache that I have had for 8 days straight, and I have flu like symptoms). I went to a walk in doctor yesterday because I couldn't take it anymore. I am so frustraated though because every Doctor and Pharmacy do not have any idea whatsoever what medicines are gluten free. How can this be?? However, I was so sick that I have just been taking what they gave me. I am on Zgesic, and it is finally taking me headache away, but it is making me feel really sick, and causing me to run to the bathroom a lot! I am also taking Azithromycin for 6 days. Does anyone know if these medicines are gluten free???? THANKS!

Just FYI, side affects of azithromycin include diarrhea and headache...

Zgesic does not list any gluten in its formulation. But any pharmacist who is willing to get off his **** can check and tell you whether there is any gluten in a medication. :angry:

Edit: Just checked azithromycin and it is gluten free.

Hope you're feeling better soon.

They are free from yeast, dairy products,lactose, gluten, wheat, soy or preservatives

Asprin free and kind to stomachs

maybe you can get them there?

they have a web site

www.herron.com.au

their email is

customerserviceherron.com.au

and phone number for customer service is 1300659646

I use these when I get the dreaded gluten headhead, which I have got at the moment from some gluten free cake I had.

I find these herron tablets to be very very good..... especially for headaches and I don't get a reaction for using them...

      Ectopic heartbeats - any relation to digestive issues?

      By Idnam · Posted

      They do work for me. I am feeling much better now that I am watching my histamine intake and only take the DAO once  a day.   I had acid reflux for 12 years and was prescribed PPI's.  which I refused to take. Ranitidine was prescribed as an option that I did use only as and when I had chest pain. They were prescribed for me to reduce the acid in my body.

      This is difficult for me to deal with.  B complex is what stands between me and migraines.  Whenever I stop B for just a few days, I get a migraine.  All my adult life I would get a violent migraine for 3 days like clockwork until a doctor told me to try B complex and it worked.  The only time I get a migraine is when I've run out of B.  This has worked for me for over 15 years.  I am soon to be 79.   My cardiologist has me stop all vitamins for about 3 days and I always have a migraine when I go in for the bloodwork.   D level is nearly at optimal.  I don't take A, I get enough from food.   What a dilemma!

      What apps or tech tools help you manage celiac disease?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I think the best approach is to lean how to read product labels, especially the allergen warnings, and these lists might be helpful:

      Any bad experience with King Arthur Gluten-free bread flour

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It looks like you are referring to this product: https://shop.kingarthurbaking.com/items/gluten-free-bread-flour Their site says: "Made with gluten-free wheat starch to give baked goods incredible taste and texture, it’s ideal for classic yeasted recipes like artisan boules, bagels, cinnamon rolls, and burger buns", and it is true that Codex quality wheat starch is gluten-free, and does make better baked goods. However, it also contains very low levels of gluten (under 20ppm), and some celiacs do react to this level, so if you are super sensitive it's best to avoid it. They also make this very similar product, which doesn't include any wheat ingredient, and is certified gluten-free: https://shop.kingarthurbaking.com/items/gluten-free-bread-flour Although labeling products in the USA as "gluten-free" that contain such wheat starch is relatively new, it has been offered in Europe for decades. You can read more about studies on it here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/miscellaneous-information-on-celiac-disease/gluten-free-diet-celiac-disease-amp-codex-alimentarius-wheat-starch/

      Our Functional Medicine doctor has always ordered the Spectracell Test for Micronutrient Deficiencies.  It tests the intracellular levels of the nutrients, not blood levels.  When high dose, targeted supplementation did not resolve the deficiencies after retesting at 6 months and then a year, he ordered genetic tests.  I have a genetic inability to process Vitamin D, B12 and antioxidants, so I am on high doses of those for life.  The rest of the initial deficiencies resolved within 6 months to a year and a good multi vitamin is sufficient to address those.  My husband has historically had high homocysteine levels and his low folate, B 12 and B6  levels are because of his MTHFR gene mutation.  Always good to get to the root cause!
