I totally don't! But I am going to look into getting one. I had severe reactions to those 2 types of antibiotics when I was younger, and the doctor never recommeded that my family get an epi-pen, so I've never had one.

Hi everyone, I just came back from an appt with my doctor and I'm pretty confused, so I'm turning to the internet for help haha, and I found this forum. I've been having digestive troubles (severe bloating after ANY meal, even a piece of fruit) and my doctor immediately suspected a food allergy, possibly gluten. He tested me for celiac disease with the...
