Xyzal??

Good morning, all! I have recently started taking Xyzal. I took it a number of years ago and it worked well for me, so when it went over the counter, I decided to try it.  And I have felt off this entire week.  I had only one other incident that I could have been "gluten" (flavored K-Cup that is just labeled with natural flavors), but since I am only intolerant, usually within 48 hours of being glutened I feel better. I am DRAGGING today. 

I went crazy on a Google search trying to find out if Xyzal is gluten free. I have run into a lot of things. Some sources say yes it is. Most other sources say nothing.  The big long gluten free med list (PDF) online, which was updated in April 2017 (a week ago actually) does not list Xyzal as gluten free, so I'm now distressed that I've been poisoning myself for over a week.

Does anyone out there take it and have issues at all?  Has anyone ever contacted the company to find out if its gluten free? I am going to contact them later today.  I tried to search the forums but was inconclusive as well. :/

Did you call the drug manufacturer?  Are you looking for an actual gluten label in the box?  It does not appear to have any gluten ingredients, at least on the tablets.  Drugs do not fall under the FDA rules for gluten free.  Most drugs are gluten free, however.  Too bad it is not clear cut.  If you are looking for a cause, this would be it!!!

Anyway, it should be safe if the drug company says it does not contain. Gluten, but they just do not test for gluten.

      Trying to read my lab results

      Hi Scott, yes I have had symptoms for years and this is the second GI I have seen and he could not believe I have never been tested. He called later today and I am scheduled for an endoscopy. Is there a way to tell how severe my potential celiac is from the results above? What are the chances I will have the biopsy and come back negative and we have to keep...

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      I agree christina, there is definitely many contributing factors! I have the pain today, my pelvis, hips and thighs ache! No idea why. But i have been sitting at work for 3 days so im thinking its my back. This disease is very mysterious (and frustrating) but not always to blame for every pain.

      Why?

      "her stool study showed she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that." The wording of this part of the sentence does not make any sense at all. I don't mean to insult you, but is English your first language? This part of the sentence sounds like it was generated by translation software.

      Why?

      What kind of stool test was done? Can you be more specific?

      Why?

      Perhaps I should also have said that in addition to showing a very high response to gluten, her stool study showed that she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that.
