hello DIVa,

I am right there with you. It is terrible to be glutened by your medication, been there and done that -several times

Doc's told me it was gluten free, and low and behold, they weren't. Typical uh? nothing against doctors but it's been frustrating trying to find doctors who know this disease and what it entails. Anyway, hope the fog dissipates soon and the pain lessens.

yeah, I was taking all kinds of supplements and finally realized they could be part of my problem so I called all the manufacturers. Some TRIED to give good info and other's didn't. I came away just scared of all them. None of them were prescriptions, just supplements. But I finally happened on Kirkman Labs and they have alot of products that are allergen-free, including gluten. If you need supplements I highly recommend www.kirkmanlabs.com. But you have me thinking about prescriptions now, and I am taking 3 that I never considered. sigh. This never does end, does it?
