Hi all,

I am trying to figure out he sources of hidden gluten in my life and am now thinking my Rxs might contain some. I can't get in touch with the manufacturers, guess I'll just keep trying, but in the meantime, if any of you know...

I take Nasonex (always namebrand, Schering, generic not available yet), and oxycontin (both generic--Malin or Endo-- and name brand--Purdue-- if the pharmacist is out of generic). For the oxy, both 5mg instant release formulation and 20mg controlled release.

Thanks

Judi

One good thing to try, for your medications and prescriptions is talk to your pharmacist. Your pharmacist is your best friend, they know way more about all those medications, even the over the counter kind, than any doctor. They can usually get down to the companies alot easier than you can over the phone.

I've been on so many medications this last few months, that all the pharmaciscts at theSafeway by my house know me by site, and automatiically check my prescriptions for gluten each time I drop them off. They are great.

Hi Grantschoep-

Yeah, I think I'm going to have to "inconvenience" my pharmacist. Hopefully I'll catch her in a good mood! They are so busy at this location... I could drive to another pharmacy I have used, but why should I have to drive another 20 miles just to be assured courteous treatment?

Thanks for the suggestion/encouragement. I have to start applying this across the board. I mean, asking people to do the "extra" for me... when I buy deli, I don't ask that they change gloves and wipe down the slicer, but I accept that I have to from now on (or go without). Perhaps I'll be pleasantly suprised when I explain why I have to ask for extra effort on their parts.

Here's a start for anyone with similar questions. This link takes you to a compilation of gluten-free medications with contact information. Nasonex is gluten-free and namebrand, Purdue Pharma, Oxycontin is gluten-free but I still don't know about the generics.

Something has kept me up all night. I thought I had just finished with several nights of insomnia...had two OK nights and now here it is 4 am.

      Outgrow celiac?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Testing can't alone be trusted.  Else why would it take so many years of testing and retesting and misdiagnosis to finally be told, yes you have Celiac Disease. As to what to eat, I like pre 1950 style food.  Before the advent of TV dinners.  Fresh food is better for you, and cooking from scratch is cheaper.  Watch Rachel Ray's 30 Minute Meals for how to cook.  Keep in mind that she is not gluten free, but her techniques are awesome.  Just use something else instead of wheat, barley, rye. Dr Fuhrman is a ex cardiologist.  His book Eat to Live and Dr Davis' book Wheatbelly were instrumental in my survival.

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch--thanks for the tip about Dupixent, and I've added it to the article:

      I just want to clarify that what I posted is a category of research summaries we've done over the years, and nearly each one shows that there is definitely a connection to celiac disease and migraine headaches. The latest study said: "the study did indicate some potential causal associations between celiac disease and migraine with or without aura, as well as between migraine without aura and ulcerative colitis...this study did not find evidence of a shared genetic basis..." Anyway, there is definitely a connection, and you can go through more of the articles here if you're interested: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/celiac-disease-amp-related-diseases-and-disorders/migraine-headaches-and-celiac-disease/

      Celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis has taken Me from Me

      By SusanJ · Posted

      Two months ago, I started taking Dupixent for dermatitis herpetiformis and it has completely cleared it up. I can't believe it! I have had a terrible painful, intensely itchy rash for over a year despite going fully gluten-free. See if your doctor will prescribe Dupixent. It can be expensive but I am getting it free. When the dermatitis herpetiformis was bad I could not do anything. I just lay in bed covered in ice packs to ease the pain/itching and using way too Clobetasol. Dapsone is also very good for dermatitis herpetiformis (and it is generic). It helped me and the results were immediate but it gave me severe anemia so the Dupixent is better for me. Not sure if it works for everyone. I cannot help with the cause of your stress but from experience I am sure the severe stress is making the celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis worse. Very difficult for you with having children to care for and you being so sick. Would this man be willing to see a family therapist with you? He may be angry at you or imagine that your illness is a psychosomatic excuse not to take care of him. A therapist might help even if he won't go with you. Also do you have any family that you could move in with (with the kids) for a short time to get away? A break may be good for you both.

      @tiffanygosci, Thiamine deficiency is a thing in pregnancy for "normal" people, so it's exponentially more important for those with celiac disease and malabsorption issues. I studied nutrition before earning a degree in Microbiology because I was curious what the vitamins were doing inside the body.  See my blog.  Click on my name to go to my page, scroll to drop down menu "activities" and select blog.   So glad you're motivated to see the dietician!  We're always happy to help with questions.  Keep us posted on your progress!
