Omniceph

Ok I have been looking up info on this, can't find anything solid yet...anyone have and advice? I was RX'd Cefdinir, the generic of Omniceph.

I found this: "Omnicef- the main ingredient Cefdinir is fermented on soy, contains guar gum, strawberry and cream flavoring. However, the generic is not fermented on soy." I don't know what the cream flavoring is...I am guessing an oral suspension.

Since I am doing an elimination diet, should I chance it? I am thinking my other intolerance is soy. Every time I ask the pharmacist if my med's contain a gluten or wheat, they look irritated and always shake their head no. So I am never sure if I'm getting a true answer or not.

I have never heard of what you are talking about here. But wanted to tell you there's a great online company that offers supplements/minerals, etc. that are allergen-free....many of the usuals. www.kirkmanlabs.com. And they are great to work with. I'm unsure if they offer real prescriptions or not, but I bet they would know who does that you could feel safe with your soy and wheat issues!! I would highly recommend contact them.

      Gluten free thyroid medications

      By maryannlove · Posted

      Thought was finished with this but a friend just sent email saying she takes Tirosin liquid levothyroxine which has no fillers (mentioned by Pgetha above).  Friend's doc sends script to one of Tirosin's direct-mail pharmacies.  Looking that up, government insurance (Medicare/Medicaid) doesn't cover (as Pgetha wrote above).  But if use one of their direct-mail places three month supply is $57/month.  Researching that, happened to learn Yaral also makes a generic gluten-free levothyroxine.

      Finding gluten free ingredients

      By dmallbee · Posted

      As a life.long celiac, I understand this.  I simply ask that the medical profession stop disregarding the fact that it should remain a concern for some. It cost me a lot of medical discomforts.

      @dmallbee, about 8% of celiacs react to the oat protein avenin like they do to the wheat protein gluten. In addition, there are some cultivars of oats that apparently do actually contain gluten.
