    Hi, I take the Celexa nongeneric 20 mg. in pill form and it is gluten-free, do not know about the other strenghts. I always call the mfg. companies even if the medicattion is listed on the gluten-free druglist and even though is not a generic, just to be safe, since I am highly sensitive. Hope this help!

    Yes, guess I am lucky in that sense, I can not take any narcotics. I also have a very high tolerance for pain, as long as the medications takes some of the edge off, I have learned relaxation/meditation techniques that help me manage the rest. It took a long time to learn how to truly relax, but so far so good. I have Osteoarthritis, Bursitis, FM and...

    2000mg wow.....that's quite a bit, I get relief from Flexeril, I am thinking of sticking with it.

    Thanks for the update Kuhar, I am still waiting for a response from Activis. If it is gluten-free and it works, I'll post about it.

    Thanks Mushroom, I will send them an email, I have their phone number also but I was hoping of being able to take one tonight. No choice but to wait until tomorrow, It's unfortunate that we have to go through all this hassle over medications. Miriam

    This is the generic for Neurontin, and I have just been prescribed it for FM. Wondering if it is gluten-free, on the Alpha Drug List it is listed, but it does not reference this manufacturer. Any help will be greatly appreciated, thanks Miriam

    I can not have lactose, soy or corn and of course the obviously evil gluten...... I snack on GO RAW Banana Bread Flax Bar, and their Pumpink Super Chips, they are yummy.....

    I use Cecilia's as a first point of reference, I still read the ingredients of the foods they reference however, and I at times also call the companies if I still have some doubt. I have not had any problems with their lists. Personally, I have to be also careful of CC since I am very sensitive. Welcome to the world of gluten-free!!!!

    I do not trust any of the Traded Joe's products that say gluten-free, every time I tried them, end up getting sick. I too only stick to Certified gluten-free,some people can tolerate CC, I am one of the "lucky ones" that can not. One thing I learned since being diagnosed, plan ahead, and yes I make everything from scratch; over all it is a lot healthier...

    Hi, I use their Shampoos, and Tea Tree Oil Dental Floss, and lotions no problems. -Miriam

    Hi, When I had questions about dental products, my Dentist gave me a copy of all the products she uses, and the ingredients in it. Maybe you can ask them to give you something like it. I had dental work recently, and they did a mold for a crown, I did not get any reactions, but you should always make sure, get the name of the product they are using...

    Hi :-) It can be overwhelming at first, but you will get the hang of it, it has been 5 years for me and I am still learning. Personally, since I am very sensitive, I only use products that are certified gluten-free on my skin, hair, cleaning and laundry supplies etc. etc. I just do not want to stuff near me. Recently I tried using Suave shampoo...

    I agree with you it should be the Pharmacy's responsability, but I do feel safer when I call the mfg. myself. Sometimes they can give me the number, sometimes is only a name, and I have to do the research myself In the past 8 months I have had to do it like 3 times, since my Pharmacy keeps changing Manufacturers on one of my meds. At times I've had...

    Thank you so much, I have been looking for a good D vitamin, my latest bone density test shows that it has decreased, and the Doc. suggested taking D and Calcium. I am also staying away from Corn. -Miriam

    Is Kroger Ralphs here in California??

    Hi, I take Tylenol Extra Strenght, with no problems, I am allergic to Codine so I do not know about that one, also Wallgreen Wal-Dryl Allergy Capsules are gluten-free it is noted on their packagin "does not contain gluten", and I have used it, the only reaction I had was it put me to sleep. Claritin original tablets,the last I heard are gluten-free...

    Hi, It is an adjustment, but just think how much better you will feel! Bread was the hardest for me, before diagnosis I was a bread lover the doughiest (is there such a word?) the better for me, and guess what, when I found out what it was doing to me, and making me sick I removed it from my diet, and I felt so much better. There are some...

    Celiac is not a fad, maybe you need to find a new Doctor. If you are feeling better just going off gluten for this short of time, that tells you something, keep off of it. For me it was not until I eliminated, lactose, soy and corn and xanthan gum from my diet that I felt a lot better. I had the weight gain also, everyone thought that I was pregnant...

    Hi Sylvia, Yes I checked there first, but wanted to make sure with the actual company that makes the medicine. On the glutenfreedrugs website it lists flexeril and cyclobenzaprine as gluten-free, but on the generic it only lists 3 manufacturers, and Aurobindo not being one of them, I wondered. Good news however, they called me an hour ago, and...

    Hi, My Pharmacy just changed suppliers on one of my meds. The new suplier is Aurobindo Pharm. and I am wondering if anyone here has taken it, without any issues. I have been trying to reach them for about an hour, been transfered 3 times and they end up transfering me somewhere else. No one seems to be able to give me a response, so I am weary to...

    Personally, I have gotten glutened from many chip products that say gluten-free, I do not know if it is CC or the amount of gluten that the FDA allows, which I know is very little, but I am sensitive to. Just recently it was Lays potato chips for me. I also can not tolerate gluten-free Oats. I just started introducing Corn back in my diet and I am doing...

    If I can get out of bed, and make it to the Gym while glutened, I actually feel better afterwards. I did it while having symptoms, before getting diagnosed, just had to slow it down a notch. I think this is what kept me sane.
  23. TiaMichi2
    Yes, I agree, I miss Frosted Flakes!!!!!

    You are a lucky lady indeed Irish, married to a chemist :-) I did not think it did, but reading a another Celiac Blog they had listed hairsprays from Suave and another company, and they claim the companies stated that Cetyl Alcohol "might"contain gluten. This confused me. I have just bought Suave shampoo and conditioner to try for the first time...

    Hi I use Burt's Bees Lip Shimmers with no problem. Eye liner and mascara, AfterGlow Cosmetics. Lotion, soap and body oils California Baby is my line of preference. Hope this helps! -Miriam
