Certain Pharmaceuticals Side Effects May Mimic Gluten Sensitivity

With positive lifestyle changes, and certain natural supplements, I have been able to reduce the amount of prescription medications I take. I currently take two, Wellbutrin for adult ADD symptoms, and Avapro for hypertension. I was surprised to discover that  the side effects of some medications mimic those of gluten sensitivity. It is important to state gluten sensitivity, not full blown celiacs, as those folks know what happens after ingesting gluten. With gluten, I have found effects are somewhat delayed, and more obvious the longer you have been consuming gluten. I couldnt find any studies on Wellbutrin, although  the side effects are similar to gluten, but there are studies done on anti-hypertensives. If you have found that goinfg off these meds improved you 'gluten sensitivity" please respond.  Oh, and a very happy American Thanksgiving to my friends in the U.S! tsthttps://www.glutenfreesociety.org/high-blood-pressure-drug-side-effects-mimic-celiac-disease/

      @CeliacPsycho246, You might try cutting out dairy.  Some of us react to Casein, the protein in dairy, the same as to gluten.

      Yep, the edit window times out very quickly. It's okay. I got a good laugh out of it.

      I wrote that by mistake and there is no where I can edit this.

      I hope you meant "pen pal" instead of "paypal".
