With Swine flu threatening to circle the globe, will those with celiac disease be able to take meds like Tamiflu? Anyone know if they are gluten-free?

According to Open Original Shared Link, it is.

Gluten would be the least of my concerns at that point.

Me too. Although I do think the media has blown this slightly out of proportion...

Isn't that the media's number one priority. Serious as it, I agree.

Gluten must be ingested to kick off a immune response if you have Celiac. Injections should not be an issue, unless you might have an egg allergy.

I know Tamiflu can be given by injection but I thought it was also available in tablets. No?

So, the capsules as well as the injections are gluten-free? If I'm sick enough to go to the dr, I won't feel up to researching Tamiflu. My pharmacy isn't much help.

      High Deamidated Gliadin Abs, IgA after being gluten-free for 6 months

      By RMJ · Posted

      It can take longer than 6 months for antibodies to drop to the normal range,  My DGP IgA took a few years as I got stricter and stricter about being gluten free  But having symptoms again could also mean you’re getting some gluten in your diet.

      Hi, I just had my 6 month check after being diagnosed Celiac 6 months ago.  All of my panel numbers were normal except: Deamidated Gliadin Abs, IgA (It is 31 with high being over 30)  I have also been having symptoms again. Am I not actually being as careful as I think I am or does it take longer than 6 months for this particular test to come back down?  I can't get ahold of my doctor this week as she is out.     Thank you!

      Diagnosis and further testing Celiac

      That is very strange, because it looks to me like two very different test results, but for the same test! It's definitely time to contact your doctor for clarity on this.

      Scott, thank you SO MUCH for this!! She has been through so much in the last three years as we've tried to track down answers. This language will definitely help me help her to reframe.
