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

      Antibodies my number is in 500's. COVID hit and I was  layed off from my job so no insurance (was in Arizona) so couldn't complete all the other testing they wanted to do. Back home and contacted Minnesota Mayo and they take my new insurance so considering going back in spring.

      pdm1981 asks what I was also thinking. That is, refractory celiac disease.
    • pdm1981
      I've been to the Mayo Clinic. Outstanding place. Did they test to see if you might have refractory celiac disease? This may explain why the symptoms persist but what numbers are off the charts? Are they antibodies, liver enzymes?

      Hi Dawn,   Back in the Fall of 2019 with Covid looming I considered getting a pneumonia vaccine.  I went as far as getting in line and reading the pamphlet and saw the warning about not getting it if you ever had a reaction to diphtheria.  I instantly recalled a tetanus booster shot in 1971 that caused a severe reaction.  Tetanus booster shots include diphtheria.  I haven't had a tetanus shot since, but recent lab results show that I have many timed the immunity required.  Good Luck.

      Since we don't know what you reacting to when you get vaccinated, we can't say whether or not the pneumonia vaccine will cause a reaction. Is there some common ingredient in these vaccines that is causing a reaction. I mean, with many vaccines the antigen is delivered via a solution containing albumin (chicken egg protein). Some people are allergic to chicken egg protein so they can't take those vaccines. That kind of thing. When you say your "numbers are off the chart", what numbers do you refer to? Are you referring to celiac disease antibodies?
