Xyzal??

Good morning, all! I have recently started taking Xyzal. I took it a number of years ago and it worked well for me, so when it went over the counter, I decided to try it.  And I have felt off this entire week.  I had only one other incident that I could have been "gluten" (flavored K-Cup that is just labeled with natural flavors), but since I am only intolerant, usually within 48 hours of being glutened I feel better. I am DRAGGING today. 

I went crazy on a Google search trying to find out if Xyzal is gluten free. I have run into a lot of things. Some sources say yes it is. Most other sources say nothing.  The big long gluten free med list (PDF) online, which was updated in April 2017 (a week ago actually) does not list Xyzal as gluten free, so I'm now distressed that I've been poisoning myself for over a week.

Does anyone out there take it and have issues at all?  Has anyone ever contacted the company to find out if its gluten free? I am going to contact them later today.  I tried to search the forums but was inconclusive as well. :/

Did you call the drug manufacturer?  Are you looking for an actual gluten label in the box?  It does not appear to have any gluten ingredients, at least on the tablets.  Drugs do not fall under the FDA rules for gluten free.  Most drugs are gluten free, however.  Too bad it is not clear cut.  If you are looking for a cause, this would be it!!!

Anyway, it should be safe if the drug company says it does not contain. Gluten, but they just do not test for gluten.

      Keep in mind that you might also have a dietary sensitivity to something else. Get into the habit of reading ingredients lists.

      I would avoid gluten at all cost. Sometimes there will be no noticeable damage, but it is still causing an autoimmune response that will manifest in some way or another eventually. Throwing up from a macaroon sounds like something other than celiac disease also.

      Thanks, Scott! I appreciate you looking that up for me. Perhaps that will be good enough for someone but not for me...super sensitive dermatitis herpetiformis here. I don't take any chances that I can avoid. ~Pam

      Welcome to the forum, Liamclarke! We have reports from time to time of people whose celiac disease seems to go into remission. Often, however, it doesn't last. There is also the question of whether or not symptoms or lack of them tell the whole story. Many of us are "silent" celiacs who have very minor or no symptoms when consuming gluten yet slow, insidious damage is still going on in the gut. The only way to tell for sure in your case would be to be retested after going back on gluten for a period of weeks or months such that sufficient time has elapsed for antibody levels in the blood to build up to detectable levels. And I would certainly advise you to do that and not take anything for granted.
