Generess Fe Birth Control?

I've been on Generess fe birth control pills for almost a year now. 

 

I'm probably just paranoid but I'm worried that it might have some kind of gluten filler or something in it?

 

Does anyone know if it does or if birth control pills have it in general?

I usually look here: Open Original Shared Link

any time I am getting prescription or non-prescription drugs.  

 

I have found a couple that I feel safe with, and another that I called about but they didn't give me a warm fuzzy feeling.  I have used Junel Fe, and Microgestin with no issues.  The one that I called and wasn't sure of began with a "G", but I don't have the label in front of me to say if it was the brand you are using or not.  I can't say that they have gluten in them, but I'd rather be safe than sorry.

 

My pharmacy has been really good with the gluten-free stuff, and has always gotten me one of the two that I listed above.  

 

Good luck!

      Bloodwork Help for my Teen

      By Sarah Marie · Posted

      Is it worth it to remove gluten before they potentially do an endoscopy & biopsy? I thought I read it’s best to be eating gluten for 3 months prior to it. So hoping they have a cancellation and call us in sooner.

      Celiac Maybe a Possibility?

      By Aleda D · Posted

      Thank you for the warning. I get blood tests twice a year to check where I stand with the vitamins I regularly take, so I appreciate the extra reminder. I know some vitamins don’t build up but now I will watch the B6 for sure.

      High dosage of B12 gave me life.

      I think you would do well to take a high potency B-complex such that you get more balanced dosage across the spectrum of B vitamins. They work in concert.

      Around 5 years ago I visited Tokyo, and luckily had my sister in law with me who is from there, otherwise it would have been more difficult. The bottom line is that there are tons of naturally gluten-free food options there, but you need to be able to communicate your needs to restaurant staff. Here is a gluten-free restaurant card for American visitors in Tokyo. It includes a request for a gluten-free meal and mentions common gluten-containing ingredients to avoid, like soy sauce and miso. English: Thank you. Japanese:   You can also download the Google Translate app, and besides being able to help you speak with people there about this, it has a camera app that translates Japanese text to English in your camera, so you can use it when shopping in a supermarket.
