I am wondering if ciprofloxacin eye drops 0.3% manufactured by falcon are gluten free. My daughter started them today for conjunctivitis, and now isn't feeling well. Any help would be appreciated.

I would call the doctor. And not give her any further of these eyedrops. She could be reacting to the Ciprofloxacin (which is an antibiotic) or to another of the inactive ingredients in the eye drops. Keep an eye on her for any signs of an allergic reaction. You should also discuss with the doctor your concerns regarding any wheat in the eyedrops. I do not know your daughters history or any allergies she may have so this is the best I can tell you. Since she is not feeling well and Ciprofloxacin is an antibiotic I would be concerned that she may be allergic to it.

If she has conjunctivitis, she may have a virus that is causing other things besides the pink eye.

It doesn't make sense to me to put wheat in something that goes in your eye.

Thanks for your reply! I did check with Pharmasist this morning and it is OK..

It most likely is something else, I just thought I should rule out the eyedrops since they were new. My daughter is 14 and was diagnosed the first week of May. I was hoping by the time school started she would be feeling great, but it isn't the case. It gets to be hard to figure out what is causing what..

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.

      Is this celiac?

      By Beverage · Posted

      Exactly which blood tests were done? There are a few different ones and some docs don't do them all. Also, your results and reference ranges for each?

      Thankyou so much for your words.Its a hard battle when a supposed well known hospital whose celiac " specialist " has down played me because my colon looks fine and put it in my medical and so pcp doesn't take seriously. In their eyes we all carry that gene.Im having alot of bad days trying to be positive because of it.

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.
