My 7 yr old son is sick, he was prescribed Polytussin and Omniceft.  The pharmacy can't find a way to look up the meds to see if they are gluten free.  My go to pharmacist isn't there today....  Do you have any information on these medications?

These two drugs are not listed in the glutenfreedrugs.com list that is one source (see link below).  You probably need to call the manufacturer yourself or check their website.  Your pharmacy should be able to call for you or at least call their pharm representative.  I would ask another pharmacy and stop shopping at this one?  Or you could ask your doctor to write the presciption to say gluten free and to not specify a brand.

i am sorry that there is not an easier solution.  I had to call six pharmacies before I found a gluten-free version of amoxicillin in stock just two months ago.  What a headache!

I was able to get the ingredient information along with seeing the bottles from the pharmacy.  The Polytussin is labeled gluten free on the container as well in the ingredients.  Omniceft had gluten free ingredients, I called the company that makes it and they stated that it was gluten free.

      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.):
