Allegra-D And Corn Gluten

Hi,

I've stayed away from taking much Allegra-D since getting diagnosed about two years ago because I couldn't get a definitive answer on, of course: IS IT GLUTEN FREE? I do take it when I can't stand it anymore but heck that's no way to live.

It's too bad, because it's the best med for my seasonal and dust allergies.

I would really like (need) to start taking it again. Other medications, over a LONG period of time even in my pre-Celiac life (up to age 45) don't seem to do it for me.

I just read tonight somewhere that Allegra-D contains "corn gluten" but not the gliaden gluten. So...

1. Do people with Celiac take Allegra-D with no ill-effects in the Celiac department?

2. What in the Sam Hey is CORN GLUTEN and do I need to be worried about too? I consume gluten free soups, and they have corn in them. Heck, corn is everywhere too.

I'll hang up and listen to your answer(s).

Thanks!

Corn has gluten, just not the type celiacs generally react to. Some have issues with it, but there are others that do not. If you have had no issues with corn, then you probably won't have an issue with this.

      The ulcers are prepyloric ulcers. Not sure if that makes any difference.

      Duodenal ulcers are not uncommon either and often result from H.Pylori infections. https://www.healthdirect.gov.au/duodenal-ulcer

      I had what was termed "lesions," and normally ulcers are in the stomach, rather than the small intestines. I'm not sure why they would want you to have her continue to eat gluten, since she had a positive blood test, but as her doctor said, if she is uncomfortable and having symptoms why not have her go gluten-free at this point? If her symptoms improve, it would be another indicator that she has celiac disease and/or gluten sensitivity. 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.):

      In the USA we also do a fruit cake that probably has UK origins, and my grandmother's always had lots of rum in it. I just found these:
