Hi Everyone- I've looked high and low and can't seem to find klonopin (clonazepam- it's an anti anxiety drug) on any gluten-free drug list. Does anyone know for sure? I'm assuming it DOES have gluten in it? Thanks, Beverly

I don't know the answer to your question, but what I've done in the past is just call your pharmisist and they can call the company and find out.

It is not on my lists of gluten free meds. Just because it is not on there does not mean that it has gluten. The best thing to do is call the manufacturer. Never assume anything with gluten. It's best to check if you do not know. :D

It made me sick so I stopped taking it. Just wean yourself off it, I went cold turkey because I didn't know any better and the withdrawl was awful.

Hope it helps

Yeah, that's not a fun one to go cold turkey on. I did the same, four days of hell!

I don't know whether or not it's gluten-free but if it isn't, go slowly...

Thanks everyone- I just found out that the comapny that produces my klonopin uses corn starch. They do not use WRBO. Yippee! Because getting off this stuff is a nightmare- you have to go really slowly and even that is not fun.

Corn starch is gluten free isn’t it? I just googled that, and it is broken down from a part of the corn, then ground down into a powder.

If the corn isn’t organic for corn starch it could have been sprayed with Glyphosates!!! over 40+ plants fruits and vegetables are sprayed with Glyphosates. It’s the same chemical that’s in Roundup!!!😡

It should be gluten free and okay for celiacs. However, some celiacs develop and intolerance to corn apart from any gluten issue just as they do dairy, soy, eggs, etc. because of leaky gut.

What is WRBO?

WRBO I think means Wheat Rye Barley Oats.  The first three are the gluten containing grains and oats contain a protein (Avenin) that is suspected to cause gluten-like reactions in about 10% of celiacs.

      Low iron/high normal haemoglobin

      V. interesting. It might well explain the tiredness, and the increased headaches, then. I'm trying to get my TTG numbers down a bit by avoiding eating out. Hopefully then if I've healed more I guess I will be able to absorb more iron. Will find out at the next blood test in the autumn. Thanks so much for your help.

      Yes it matters. Hemoglobin isn’t the only molecule in your body that needs iron. Here are several articles on non-anemic iron deficiency: Non-anaemic iron deficiency https://www.thebloodproject.com/non-anemic-iron-deficiency-naid/ Can you be iron deficient without anemia

      Not sure what you mean by "poor iron levels" if 30 is normal (upper end of normal range) and you are 29. (at least, that's how I read your post. Seems to me that your iron (ferritin) is normal, whereas before it was too high (40). At any rate, your post made me curious, so I copy pasted "Does it actually matters if my iron levels are poor, if my hemoglobin...

      This would definitely be an interesting study. We did an article on this a while back:

At any rate, your post made me curious, so I copy pasted "Does it actually matters if my iron levels are poor, if my hemoglobin is normal" into the google search bar. According to Dr google, it does matter and they had a lot to say about it.

      Hello All I think I started a thread on this subject some time ago, but now can't find it.  Or possibly it was someone else's thread that I hijacked - and that's why I can't find it! Anyway, I have a rather complicated issue with iron and I'm wondering what to do about it.  Or even if it matters. Pre-menopause, when I was first diagnosed with coeliac,  my ferritin levels were dreadful and I had to supplement.  It soon became apparent that I had to stop, as once my iron anemia cleared up, my hemoglobin levels reached high normal, verging on a condition known as polycythemia.   High normal in my lab is 15.5 for women, and my level has hovered between 15 and 15.5 The highest my ferritin levels have ever been is 40 (30 being normal) since I started my gluten-free journey - I reached that level about three years ago., about a year post menopause.  18 months later my ferritin had gone down to 29, which I think I can explain because I've been avoiding red meat.  This was a conscious decision as I have  discovered that I can keep my hemoglobin levels at safe levels so long as I don't consume too much iron.  My gastroenterologist also told me not to supplement it.     I have recently had a colonoscopy and have done a FIT test to detect bleeding, both came back normal.  So I feel that the reduced iron consumption is probably the reason for this new deficiency.  But I have two questions: A. Does it actually matters if my iron levels are poor, if my hemoglobin is normal?  (I do feel a bit tired, but surely if my hemoglobin levels are normal I shouldn't?) B. Would my last TTG blood result of 10 (cut off point for normal levels at my lab)  be affecting my absorption of iron? Thanks! Cristinaa
