I called the manufacturer of Provigil last July (2007, so it's been a while). They told me it has 54mg of gluten. So, my doctor wouldn't give it to me. I take ritalin and it does help some.

(I also recently found out that I have narcolepsy. It's very mild and, as long as I take my medicine, I'm fine.) He said it bothers him that we can't go to McDonald... -
ARCHIVED Could She Still Be Celiac?
evansmommie replied to sdw6705's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
Hello, We went through pretty much the same thing with our son that you are describing! I'll try to give you the short version of our story. I was diagnosed with Celiac two years ago, when my son was a little over a year old. He had always been small, but the ped thought he was just going to be a small person. After my diagnosis however, the ped...
