    I am having a devil of a time trying to find out if Zyrtec is gluten free. Does anyone know? What about other gluten-free allergy medicines? Thanks!

    The Drs office told me today that all of my bloodwork was normal. I asked them to mail me a copy of it so I could see the ranges. When I get it I will compare my numbers with what nvsmom says they should be and go from there. Thanks!

    I have been gluten intolerant for 20plus years. I tested negative for celiac about 5 yrs ago but was on meds that kept me from throwing up. At the time I thought that was all I needed to do but my more recent research has shown me that many of my other health issues have been from the gluten intolerance. So, I gave up the medicine for a gluten free diet...

    Thanks for the response. I didn't think it did, but I had a doctor tell be that it did. I thought I'd ask people who REALLY know; i.e. people who actually have the disorder! =) So than, what is the best way to manage it? My symptoms are not severe, but I am so tired of struggling with my, not constant low energy but bouts of it! I was hoping that...

    If you have a goiter in your thyroid that has been caused by hashimoto's syndrome, and you have all or part of your thyroid removed, does that cure the hashimoto's?

    A few years ago I had a goiter in my right thyroid. After I had a thyroidectomy (right side only), I was diagnosed with hashimoto's. I am wondering if, since the damaged/diseased part of my thyroid was removed, does that mean the hashimoto's is gone? My thyroid has tested fine since then and I have not had to be put on thyroid meds. My main concern in...

    I have been gluten-free for about 2 months now due to intolerance. One of the books I have recently read in researching the topic of celiac and gluten intolerance is book "Wheat Belly". This book talks about the reasons why EVERYBODY should be gluten-free regardless of whether or not they have celiac or gluten intolerance. Based on the info in this book...

    My husband and I have both been gluten-free for around 5 weeks now. I will post for both of us. I took meds (generic ludiomil) for over 20 years so that I would not throw up everyday. If I missed more than 2 days I would throw up. I have been off the medicine from the day I went gluten free and no vomiting! I believe my hair (which has always been on...

    I have been gluten-free for about 6 weeks now. I do not have celiac but am very intolerant and have been since my early 20s. Back then, when I first started throwing up everyday, I got down to 90lbs. My mornings went like this. I would eat cereal for breakfast and then start coughing and would cough so much that I would throw up. Eventually I learned...

    I am wondering if anyone else has had an issue with flavored coffee. I have been gluten-free for about 6 weeks now and am doing great with it. Last night I drank some Millstone brand cinnamon hazelnut coffee and this morning I woke up hacking and coughing, runny nose, burping like crazy. I tried eating breakfast and could tell if I continued to eat I was...

    I have been gluten free for about a week now and I am going through the same thing. My symptoms are a bit different (nausea, cramping, vomiting, low energy) but they have been tons worse than before. Yesterday I came home from work and crashed on the couch. Did not get up, except for to eat the dinner that my husband brought to me, until I got up to go...

    Thanks for the response. Good to know that it is not all in my head, especially the extra lack of energy part! When I first heard about celiac/intolerance and before I was tested I went off my medicine and wheat for 7-8 days to see what would happen. It was the first time ever that I could go without the medicine and not throw up by the 3rd day. Just...

    I was tested for celiac 5 or so years ago and do not have the disease, but am definitely gluten intolerant. I now believe I have been for 20 plus years. At that time, the symptom that sent me to doctors was daily vomiting and losing lots of weight. When I finally found a doctor that paid any attention to me, they did all sorts of testing, but I don't think...
