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.

      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.
