I have alerted surgeons that they need to check with manufacturers and labs to vet the anesthesia. My hands surgeon did that and I was ok so reconstruction surgeon called her to use same anesthesia. They certainly wouldn't have taken just my word.

Gluten shows up in Anesthesia, anti- inflammatory meds, pain meds. That's from a real experience because I had dental surgery and Dentist didn't know. I couldn't hold food or water down for over 24 hours.  Eventually it wore off but was scary. The point made that because trace amounts of gluten is deemed acceptable, the impact to some of us can be huge when you take foods or meds with these trace amounts that become cumulative. 

I do not use menthol lozenge, but I have found a brand of oral probiotics that has same ingredients as Prodentim but without spending $50  bottle. I bought Naturewise Oral probiotics from Amazon at $29 a bottle for 50 chewables instead of the 30 qty. The Simbicort upset the bacteria is my mouth, had white tongue and created a dental problem with a tooth, plus the inflammation in throat, vocal cords. Used the chewable and rested it along the gum where tooth hurts 4 x on Monday. Tuesday, went to dentist and she looked at what I thought was my problem tooth and she said all looked pink and happy. No problem.  Also, I spoke with my Allergist and he said instead of two puffs am and pm, try one puff only in am.Can always add one puff in PM if needed. Rinse mouth twice and gargle twice, and brush tongue. Use the Rescue inhaler Albuterol if needed (which I didn't need to). Know that Flucasolone, Simbicort, Advair are interchangeable.

Sorry you are having this experience when inadvertently getting Gluten. I have used 3 ounces of water with 2 tablespoons of Apple cider vinegar and 1/2 tsp of honey mixed well and drink. I have also used Nature's Way organic Apple cider vinegar (ACV) Gummies. Bottle says, take two. This is great when I'm out and about and carry them in my handbag. I got them through Amazon. This has made huge difference with all the symptoms mentioned.

Yes, I rinse my mouth twice, brush tongue, and gargle twice after using the inhaler.

I am newly diagnosed with Asthma and find the Simbicort (gluten-free) is creating sore throat, inflamed vocal cords and upsetting mouth Flora. Has anyone else experienced same and how did you solve problem? Also use Albuterol as my rescue inhaler (gluten-free).
