Does anyone know if TriNessa is gluten free? It's the generic of OrthoTriCyclen and that is ok, but I can't find TriNessa. I've searched everywhere!!

Thanks!

just an fyi to anyone who might be wondering about this, i called my pharmacy (duh! lol) and was told this: "well, i don't see that it has gluten in it... so yeah, you should be fine."

i'm not exactly sure what i think about that response. he didn't exactly sound sure about it. i would have quizzed him further but they were busy and honestly i don't think i was talking to someone that really knew the ins and outs of hidden gluten.

I'm sorry, I DON'T know anything about any of the oral birth control pills. I've never bothered to look into them, as a good friend of mine nearly died from a blood clot caused by birth control pills (and no, she was not in ANY of the high risk groups--she was young, she was a non-smoker, she was healthy, she exercised, she ate healthy--and now she is on blood thinners for the rest of her life).

I just wanted to throw it out there that, if you are new to being gluten-free, then you need to avoid oral birth control pills until your intestines heal. The reason is, if your intestines have not FULLY healed, then it is very likely that you would not be completely absorbing oral medications, and because of that, optimum dosage (in any oral med) might change as your intestines heal.

i took trinessa for one month and towards the end i began having symptoms. I checked the manufacturer website and the ingredient list includes starch but they would not tell me what starch was used. i stopped using it and a week later stomach issues were gone. could be coincidence but i wouldnt risk it. here's a list i found online. still look at ingredients of course but the nest birth control i got hasn't gievn me any issues

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      I put on over 12kg by eating protein with every meal, 3 to 5 times a day. Eggs, Chicken, Tuna, Turkey etc. I stay away from too much red meat as it can be inflammatory. Scott is correct. I've come across a bunch of Coeliac PT's on Tiktok and Instagram. They all say the same thing, the key is getting enough protein and consistency.

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's great to hear that eliminating gluten has helped alleviate symptoms like eye burning, which is a significant and positive change. The first and most important step is to ensure you're consuming enough protein throughout the day to support muscle repair and growth, which can be challenging with a busy schedule. Since you're already physically active at work, adding focused strength training just 2-3 times per week can make a major difference. Bodyweight exercises like squats, push-ups (modified if needed), and lunges, or using resistance bands at home, are excellent, efficient places to start. Remember, consistency with these short sessions and prioritizing post-workout recovery, including good sleep and hydration, are just as crucial as the workouts themselves. It's a smart, gradual process at any age.

      suggest gluten free food

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Trader Joe's carries a good variety of affordable gluten-free foods like bagels, hamburger buns, pasta, etc. I like Franz Gluten Free bread, which is available at my local Costco. Food For Life and Little Northern Bakehouse (advertisers here) also make excellent gluten-free breads. Costco also sells gluten-free pizzas, crackers, gravy, etc.
