I have a sinus infection and my allergies brought on my asthma. So I'm currently on Amoxicillin, Dallergy and Pro Air inhaler. I am celiac and have to avoid corn. I believe I am reacting to Amoxicillin because four hours after I took my first dose I developed really tiny hives on my forearms. They went away after 30 minutes though. So I'm not sure if I should try taking my second dose and see what happens. Doctor's office is closed. I cannot find another antibiotic that is not penicillin related, corn free and wheat free. Any suggestions what I should do?

call the pharmacy. Call the ER and find out if they have triage nurse that can answer your question.

CALL OR GO TO THE ER (especially w/ the hives!)

Amox is a derivative of Penicillin - and if you are allergic to it and have a mild reaction now, you could have a more severe to deadly reaction in the future.

If you really can't get to one and you aren't sure call your insurance company and ask them for assistance and tell them you had a severe allergic reaction.

DO NOT MESS AROUND w/ WAITING!

I called the pharmacist and she told me to stop taking it. The hives went away within an hour, I'm fine. I found out there were 4 ingredients in the amoxicillin that were corn related and that is what I reacted to.

Make sure they note this in your chart and remind them to check the meds at each script.

      Celiac symptoms but negative endoscopy and antibody test + family history of gastro problems

      By NoriTori · Posted

      @Scott Adams  Sure, Any and all information is welcome. Also the only was to convince my family to get tested is to get tested myself and conclusive answers. Very stubborn lot.

      Blood results

      Understood. It's very anxiety-provoking when you don't know what you are dealing with and don't know if you are attacking it correctly.

      Blood results

      By Heatherisle · Posted

      I have heard of NCGS, but everything is just so confusing!!! Just unsure of things as her EMA test was negative but TTG was positive @19u/ml(lab range 0.0-7.0).Apparently she also has occasional bubble like blisters in between her fingers, don’t know if that’s significant. She is triallling gluten free as suggested by the gastroenterologist after her endoscopy. Keep getting different answers when typing in her symptoms etc. Some sites say it can be possible to have coeliac, even with a negative EMA . It’s so frustrating and her anxiety levels are through the roof. I know she’s hoping it’s coeliac which is weird I know!!! But if it’s not it just means more tests. Sorry to ramble on!!!

      Rice Flakes

      By sillyac58 · Posted

      I ame looking for rice flakes that aren't cross contaminated to use in making oat free granola. Does anyone know of a brand? Also I see that some people just used puffed rice cereal, but it seems like that wouldn't be sturdy enough to withstand the mixing without crumbling. Any ideas out there? Thanks!

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      There isn't because there is currently no gluten-free labeling requirement for prescription medications. You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
