    I am one of those people who is allergic the Neosiporin. I found out years before my celiac diagnosis. I am allergic to neomyicinsulfate and I get a severe reaction no matter where I put it. Does not even have to be an open sore. There are other first aid creams with the same ingredient so I have to be careful. Just another thing I have to watch out for...

    I got glutened once from a brand name medicine. My doctor gave me some samples. I called the mfg they said it was fine but also gave me a cya answer. I took it an got sick for my usual month. I had 2 pills tested and they both had over 50 ppm. Taking meds is always risky, I still call every single time, but I also hold my breath after I take the pill...

    I used to take hydrocodone and Norco and have never ever had a problem with gluten. I am now take Percs (generic) and doing fine. I also take claritan when I need to, no problems there either. Benedryl is okay as well. I just bought a box. Though they make me a bit sleepy it works better then Claritan for me. I am also allergic to Codiene so I don't...

    I will put my 2 cents in too. I had a negative blood test but had a positive biopsy, so I am definately a Celiac. That new "fad" is saving my life. I still have some of the problems you have and they don't know why, I have had a colonoscopy, fun fun, but that came out clean. So they said its IBS. I originally lost a lot of weight before diagnosis, which...

    I had the same reaction to Doxycycline. I got so sick and my headaches were so bad they were thinking menigitis and wanted to test me for it. Not a chance. But I did stop the drug and slowly started to feel better. Doxy is great drug and they us it as a malaria coctail when you travel to those countries. I hope they have something else for me when I...

    Hebrew National is fine. I have to be free of both and that is the brand I eat since I know we (jews) don't mix meat and dairy. I have never ever eaten meat and dairy together even before diagnosis. Plus they are the best in my opinion so enjoy.

    I have had trouble with Almay makeup since I was young. Seem anything hypoallergenic seems to bother me for some reason. From my understanding alcohol its distilled so that would mean its safe. I always take my own goodies to the movies. Give that a try so next time you can eat while watching the moving. I love popcorn while watching a movie. Glad Almay...

    I love Amy's mac & cheese and have been eating it almost from diagnosis and have had no problems with it. I he is ok and loves them some much I also see problem in giving it to him. I wish they would make it in a bigger portion.

    I have never heard of that drug, I also have Chronic Fatigue to where I am no longer able to work. Also have depression, nothing works for that either. Even got a dog, thought it would help, and she does some but I still sleep all day. I sleep about 15-20 hours a day. Not much time for anything. Been going on 4 years now. The fatigue came before the...

    I'm with Adlaide. I bring all my Meds home and call myself. I also made the mistake of trusting the Pharmacy and I got sick real sick. Not happening again if I can help it. I go to Walmart now, mostly for convience and they don't check, neither did Rite Aide or CVS and Walgreens is not allowed. They all know I am gluten free and they couldn't care less...

    I have been using cottonelle wipes for years, did not even dawn on me to check the label, I am very sensitive and they work fine, I also use by friends baby wipes, they smell good, with out any problems, it even takes off makeup.

    I doubt they will stop make the Rice Krispies, but I do not like them, at least not for a bowl of cereal, I used the the stale almost full box as crumbs for a coating of chicken. That was pretty good. But I do miss Corn Flakes too and Frosted Flakes. Still miss the Rice Krispies.

    I have been taking prescription anti-inflammatories for years. Ibuprofin no longer works. I take Salsalate. Its Gluten Free but I still check every few months or so. You never know. I NEVER take it on a empty stomach. So far so good for me, no problems with my gut.

    I have a puppy and she loves to lick, lick and oh yea lick. I thought this out before I even got her that she has to be gluten free including her shampoo's and treats. Though right now she seems to like to chew the pillow I got for her to sleep on, oh well was only 5 bucks and it makes her happy. I have to be careful at Petco & Petsmart, they like...

    I am allergic to Latex so my dentist, and I also go a lot, used none latex gloves, there is no powder or anything in them. I have never had a gluten reaction at the dentist, just heart palputations from the bill.

    Not all Matzoh is gluten free
  23. FernW
    I think I will just stay away from Quinoa for a while, especially for passover. Don't want to get sick and ruin my passover.

    I have allergies, haven't smelt in years, lol. But I did have to stop bread for quite a while before going back. Now I like Udi's white breads the best.

    Its not easy going to a seder over a non gluten house. I bring my own food, even the wine and have a great time. There is gluten free gefilt fish and if you can tolerate oats there is oat matzoh. Have a great Pesach.
