Immunocal?

So I have celiacs, chrons and several other non-allergenic food intolerances. Recently a doctor recommended I should go on Immunocal, but wether this medication is gluten free or not remains ambiguous, and so does the manufacturer. Any experiences and/or information regarding immunocal/immunotec? thanks.

You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication:

To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area.

Hey Scott, thanks for your answer. Immunocal is a supplement that "helps" your cells or so they say, When I search for it, I haven't been able to find anything in the link you've provided (not American) but the supplement does come from America https://immunotec.com

if there's anything else you can send my way I'd appreciate it

Kind regards.

If this is not a prescription, you would need to contact its maker to find out about its gluten-free status.

      How are you doing, @sadiec123?  Did you get through the holidays alright?    Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies?  Many newly diagnosed Celiacs  are low in Vitamin D and many of the B vitamins like thiamine.  Thiamin insufficiency can cause weight loss and loss of appetite (anorexia) as well as affect mood.   Benfotiamine has been shown to promote intestinal healing and improve mood.

      I agree, @Sarah Marie, it's best to keep eating gluten and get on the doctor's cancellation list.  Some people have extreme symptoms when reintroducing gluten after a brief abstinence.  Be sure she consumes six slices of bread or gluten-y equivalent a day in the two weeks prior to the endoscopy.  There are different amounts of gluten in different products.  Chewy pizza crust and artisan breads have more gluten than cookies and cakes. Keep us posted on your progress!

      Those are links to articles on this site.  I don't do Instagram either. https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/cross-reactivity-between-anti-gliadin-antibodies-and-proteins-in-spices-may-trigger-symptoms-in-some-people-with-celiac-disease-r5900/ And  https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/beyond-gluten-exploring-lesser-known-triggers-and-cross-reactivities-for-celiac-patients-r6350/

      Wow! That's really good information. I have noticed that my Celiac symptoms are ever increasingly seeming like allergy symptoms as well. Stuffed up head, horse throat post navel drip symptoms. I'm afraid I'm not sure I understand how to follow the links you sent for the expanded version of non-histamine diet? Are those Instagram addresses? Because I don't do Instagram. Thank you so much for that reply. To my knowledge, I'm okay on all of those things. Although I don't think that I've been tested for zinc. I do know when the flu's going around I try taking zinc mixed with quercetin but that seems to put my autoimmune into overdrive. As does some of these over-the-counter things which are recommended for traveling. To boost the immune to prevent sickness. Also things like echinacea and elderberry which you would think would be innocuous

      Canker sores can be more frequent if deficient in zinc, Thiamin B1, Riboflavin B2, Pyridoxine B6, Cobalamine B12, Folate B9, iron and Vitamin D.   Following a low histamine paleo diet helps heal.  Mast cells in our body make histamine and release it as a part of the inflammation process.  Foods that contain high histamine levels can make inflammation worse.  Mast cells get "itchy triggers" and can release histamine when exposed to some spices and foods.  The vitamins listed above are also required to clear histamine along with Vitamin C.  Following a low histamine diet like @Mari and @Blue Roanand keeping a food journal like @Blue Roan does are excellent ways to travel on our Celiac journey.
