Zyrtec

Hi there:

After spending days looking to see if others felt Zyrtec Allergy was gluten-free as I am still getting sick from somthing in my diet after being gluten-free for 47 days - I contacted Johnon & Johnson who bought the drug from Pfizer Pharmaceuticals and spent about 30 minutes with their customer service. The representative was very kind - the formulation has not been changed since Pfizer had the drug...and it is listed as not being gluten-free or safe for people that are lactose intolerant. The book Gluten-Free Bible that I recently purchased has noted that most Pfizer products are not gluten-free and the only Zyrtec product that is safe is the syrup for kids. UGHHH! Claritin is safe for those on a gluten-free diet. Just when you think you got most of it figured out...

I take Zyrtec daily. Are you telling me that the pill form is NO gluten-free?

Zyrtec is not Gluten Free or Lactose Free - after 30 minutes on the phone with Johnson & Johnson the formula remains the same when they purchased Zyrtec from Pfizer - I wasn't too happy either as it is a great allergy med, but not worth the consequence for me. I am trying to get well - 47 days gluten-free with some minor slip ups. I have to remember that envelopes need to be sealed with water and not by me...UGHHH!

Lizard00 - I got that link and that is what made me want to call the company - thanks for that.

Just when you think you have it figured out.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/

      Gluten related ??

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi everyone  This has been a crazy year so far... How many people actually get entire sensory overload from gluten or something similar ?  My jaw is going nuts ..and that nerve is affecting my upper back and so on ...  Bones even hurt.  Brain fog. Etc  I had eggs seemed fine.   Then my aid cooked a chicken stir fry in the microwave because my food order shorted a couple key items .   I was so hungry but I noticed light breading and some ingredients with SOY !!! Why are we suffering with soy ? This triggered a sensitivity to bananas and gluten-free yogurt it seems like it's a cycle that it goes on.  The tiniest amount of something gets me I'm guessing the tiny bit of breading that I took one tiny nibble of ...yikes ..im cringing from it .. Feels like my stomach is going to explode yet still very hungry 😔  How long does this last?! Thank you so much

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.
