I have been gluten, dairy and egg free since 2011.  I have been on plaquenil for possible sjogrens disease also.  I recently got tested for sjogrens with a new more accurate  test and tested negative so now I am trying life without plaquenil.   Recently I started researching dairy with low amounts of lactose to try to see if I can tolerate it.  Earlier attempts have failed.  I now can say that I am able to eat cheddar, butter,  Parmesan and swiss cheese in moderation.  I am going to try yogurt this week.  I can't understand why I can finally do this after all these years but I feel blessed.  It couldn't come at a better time in my life.  Just wanted to share and to encourage everyone to keep trying and believing.  It comes to those who wait and are patient.

Ugg dairy...not even going to rationalize that. >.< 10+ years of latose intolerance here, whey allergy to top it off. >.< I brain washed myself with PETA videos, and anti dairy stuff. I firmly to this day put dog and cow milk on the same level.

>.<  I do eat cheese daily...vegan cheese.  I make cheese sauces...vegan, I have cheddar, parma, brie, blue, and mozzarella cheese non dairy extracts. I have cheese cake extracts....I live on nut and seed milks....and eat homemade icecream daily..... >.> all non dairy versions lol

      If your celiac antibody tests are still positive that may explain the ongoing symptoms.  You might examine your diet and try to get those tests in the normal range before doing something like an MRI or CT scan.  It took me almost six years to get all of my antibody tests in the normal range.  At first I thought I was eating gluten free by avoiding wheat, rye and barley in the ingredient list.  Then I made sure foods were labeled gluten free, one antibody was still positive.  Now if I eat processed foods I buy certified gluten free or foods labeled gluten free from companies with good reputations in the celiac community.

      @Ann13, thanks for the clarification. I think I understand your point now. Yes, I realize gluten can produce non Gi Reactions. Let us know if you find out that there is gluten in these inhalers. I have my doubts but gluten does show up in strange places. It could also be manufacturer dependent of these inhaler products are generic.
    • Ann13
      Not everyone will be allergic to whatever they're using in food. There is another forum re people who are posting they have vocal cord & throat issues after they eat breads & pastas which stopped after they removed those foods from their diets. Same as me...gluten doesn't react as gastrointestinal it reacts orally. Which is why I'm saying ensure all your food isn't what you're having a reaction to.  ...& I used Cornflakes as an example because some gluten free people would assume it's gluten free but if they're allergic to barley they will have a reaction...nothing to do with their inhaler.  You're missing my points a lot & frustrating so I'm done commenting. You really need to ensure your food isn't what's causing the issue. I am checking with symbicort manufacturer to check their ingredients.  Good bye... I'm done with this.

      I certainly agree with all that. However, you also mentioned cornflakes with barley malt but that would obviously not be gluten free since barley is a gluten-containing grain. And the chemicals they spray on grains would affect everyone, not just those with gluten disorders. I'm just trying to figure out what this thread has to do with the main subject this online community is focused on. Is the point of this thread that having a gluten disorder makes someone more susceptible to reacting adversely to inhalers? That could be but it may have nothing to do with the inhaler having gluten. It could have to do with, say, having higher systemic yeast counts because the celiac community generally suffers from gut dysbiosis. So it would be easier for celiacs using inhalers to develop thrush.

      Re food,  I said the gluten free thing isn't necessarily about gluten itself, but chemical sprays they use on GRAINS which cause allergic throat & vocal cord issues regardless of the inhaler you're using.  Your issue may not be the inhaler but eating gluten free food that still will bother you because they have been sprayed with certain chemicals. Barley & oats cause vocal and throat issues with me as well as gluten free flours. We didn't have gluten issues in the world yrs ago...the food changed somehow or they're using sprays that cause reactions in some people.  Re inhaler: Symbicort is registered as gluten free but companies can change their ingredients at any time so you may want to check with the company who makes it and get an ingredient list.  I don't believe I'm reacting to the inhaler...I believe it's a gluten free pasta I've been eating so I'm taking it out of my diet. I've used the inhaler for over 1 year and no problems up until now so I suspect it's the pasta.
