Do any Celiacs on here use the regular Allegra over the counter in the purple box. Called and sounded safe but wanted to see from you guys - thanks!

Do you mean the name brand Allegra in the purple box? It's been safe for me. I've also tried Target's store brand Up & Up version of Allegra and haven't had issues, either.

Thanks guys!

I also need to be on it daily. I've also been prescribed Omnaris nasal spray - this time of year I have to have allergy meds - from about late July till end of September.

Allegra name brand is fine.

I stay away from generic Allegra because it contains lactose. Name brand Allegra does not.

Target's brand doesn't contain lactose. Their brand Prilosec does though. I've got to read the labels each time I buy meds... Name brand Allegra cost so much so I've been trying to avoid it when possible. :/

      Isolated DPG-Iga

      By trents · Posted

      So, I contacted Scott Adams, the author of that article and also the creator/admin of this website, and pointed out to him the need to clarify the information in the paragraph in question. He has now updated the paragraph and it is clear that the DGP-IGA does serve the purpose of circumventing the false negatives that IGA deficiencies can generate in the tTG-IGA antibody test.

      Lymph nodes

      By Soleihey · Posted

      Has anyone experimenced enlarged lymph nodes with celiac? Both in the neck and groin area. Imaging of both areas have said that lymph nodes are reactive in nature. However, they have been present for months and just wondering how long this may take to go down. Been gluten-free for about two months. Blood counts are normal.

      Hmm interesting I just assumed that any “IGA” tests including the DPG iga would be negative in a person who is IGA deficient but maybe that is not the case for the DPG test.

      If you were just diagnosed I can say that if you go 100% gluten-free should should see dramatic improvement of your symptoms over the next few months, but the hard part is to stay gluten-free. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
