Hi, Fellow sensitives-

Sorry if this has been asked a zillion times; I can't find it here.

I am taking Prometrium (oral) and Estriol (cream)to control menopausal symptoms (a little reluctantly). The pharmacist has said they are gluten free but now I can't corroborate this. Does anyone know? Does anyone take this? Is there air???!!!!! (sorry, little reference to GALAXY QUEST there).

Thank you for your help. Hope everyone is feeling well,

lisa

The pharmacist read me the inactive ingredients, (glycerin, gelatin, peanuy oil, titanium dioxide, etc) and it didn't sound like it, but there has to be a trace somewhere - my sweet love is reacting to this medication - made by Abbott Labs - with an "SV" shown on the pill. Perhaps it's made in a facility also working with gluten products, or some of the ingredients in the shell/coating are? How did you resolve this? Pharmacist says there's a synthetic available , a patch that also contains estrogen, or a birth control pill called Yaz. Meanwhile, we don't get this resolved then she'll bleed to death. Help.

      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.

      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.

      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.
