Gluten-Free/lactose Free Asthma Inhaler

Hello!

As I'm sure we're all familiar with the hassle of finding gluten-free medications, I won't delve too far into this story, but let's just say that I sincerely dread going to the pharmacist.

I have exercise induced asthma that has been getting progressively worse over the last few months. I've had it under control since I was 16 years old (I'm 23 now), so my doctor and I discussed going on a broncodialator like Advair. So he prescribed that and I saw it has lactose in it, which I am also allergic to. Then he called in a different one, and I was given the generic which also had lactose. So now I am getting terribly frustrated because it shouldn't be my job to research for hours which medications I am prescribed won't have ingredients to make me sicker. Plus, anything I find out online seems to be made null and void, because the generics are from different manufacturers, so it's impossible to tell what is in it until you see the label on the bottle. I don't want to be calling all of these companies asking what their inactive ingredients are all day long. I just need a new inhaler.

So, my question is, does anyone out there have a steroidal inhaler that is Gluten and Lactose free?

Thank you to any and all who respond!

Samantha

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      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.

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      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.

      suggest gluten free food

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      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.
