Birth Control Pills Junel Fe?

Hi, I was just prescribed Junel Fe birth control pills (norethindrone acetate and ethinyl estradiol) to manage my hormones during pre-menopause. It's difficult to find any info on the packaging or how to contact the company (can't seem to look that up). I sent a message to my doctor but given that my sensitivity was listed in my chart before she prescribed them, and the general lack of knowledge with most Kaiser doctors who don't specialize in gluten intolerances or celiac, I don't have much hope she'll be of any help. 

But one ingredient has me concerned, pregelatinized starch. This can be derived from either corn which I don't have trouble with, or wheat which I do. Has anyone here taken these or can provide any feedback?

Here is a link to the original manufacturer, they have contact information at the bottom of the page.  However, it also comes in a generic version so it may not be made by this company.  Do you know the manufacturer?  It is usually on the container, although may be in code.  You should be able to find out from the pharmacy where you got it.

Oh! Sorry for the late reply, and thank you.

      Night time migranes

      Welcome to the forum, @Debado, Migraines at night can be caused by high levels of histamine. Histamine Intolerance can cause physical symptoms like migraines. Foods contain histamine. Our bodies make histamine, an important neurotransmitter. Our bodies naturally produce more histamine at night as part of our circadian rhythm, our sleep-wake cycles...

      Gluten migranes at night

      How did your doctor arrive at the gluten intolerance diagnosis? You may want to consider finding a different doctor, one who is more familiar with Celiac disease. To be properly tested you will be asked to undergo a gluten challenge. I'm attaching an article below. Also consider getting a DNA test to look for the genes needed for Celiac disease...

      Guidance on next steps after the lab tests

      @ABP2025, Have you thought about having a DNA test to check for known Celiac genes? I do hope you will make sure that you are getting sufficient gluten to provoke an autoimmune response strong enough that the antibodies can be measured in the blood. See article below. Celiac disease affects the absorption of nutrients, including vitamins...

      Night time migranes

      Anybody ever heard of getting a migrane from gluten and coconut oil ONLY at night? If I consume gluten or coconut oil, even in the morning, I will get a migrane. But not until half way thru the night. I don't get this. Why at night? Why not right after I eat?

      Gluten migranes at night

      Thank you for that information. I had no idea about that. I have not been diagnosed with Celiac the Dr says I have gluten intolerance. I don't have any symptoms other than migranes from gluten and from coconut oil. I hate the medicine they gave me for migranes. It makes my blood pressure go up, is a diaretic so I am up all night then feel dehydrated the...

      Night time migranes

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Debado, Migraines at night can be caused by high levels of histamine.  Histamine Intolerance can cause physical symptoms like migraines. Foods contain histamine.  Our bodies make histamine, an important neurotransmitter.  Our bodies naturally produce more histamine at night as part of our circadian rhythm, our sleep-wake cycles.   Some foods like gluten and nuts contain high histamine themselves or trigger our bodies to produce more histamine.  A low histamine diet is helpful, cutting out high histamine foods and histamine-release triggering foods.   Our bodies can breakdown a certain amount of histamine, but sometimes our bodies cannot keep up with the amount of histamine needing to be broken down, and can be overwhelmed by the amount of histamine resulting in Histamine Intolerance and health problems like migraines.   Vitamins C, B12, Pyridoxine B6 and thiamin B1 help lower histamine levels.  Our bodies use these vitamins to make an enzyme DOA (diamond oxidase) that breaks down histamine.  DAO from beef or pork kidney is an over-the-counter supplement that can be taken.   Riboflavin B2 is very helpful for relieving migraines.   Have you been diagnosed with Celiac Disease or suspect you have it?   Happy Holidays!

      @ABP2025, Have you thought about having a DNA test to check for known Celiac genes?    I do hope you will make sure that you are getting sufficient gluten to provoke an autoimmune response strong enough that the antibodies can be measured in the blood.  See article below. Celiac disease affects the absorption of nutrients,  including vitamins and minerals.  Your symptoms may be associated with thiamine deficiency.   Migraines and peripheral neuropathy, phimosis (yes, even this), and white spots on the brain are seen in thiamine deficiency.  Celiac disease disrupts the absorption of all the essential nutrients, but thiamine can be quickly depleted, in as little as three days.  Thiamine deficiency can occur even if blood tests show normal levels.  Thiamine deficiency can affect antibody production.

      What should I do with these test results?

      By trents · Posted

      Early on,  DQ2 and DQ8 were the primary genes that have been connected to the potential to develop celiac genes but more recent genetic research suggests there may be more.
