about 5 weeeks ago i had my belly button pierced, all was well untill a couple of days ago when an insect bit me right next to the site of the pierceing, to cut a long story short i went to my docs who said it was infected, the nurse advized me to take it out but i didnt want to so she dfressed it and cleaned it for me and i have to go back tommorow with new belly bar as this one is makeing the infection worse and have it changed and also the dressing and have a course of antibiotics ( sucks ). my ? is, what antibiotics are safe for me? im also milk intolerant and react quite badly to it which is why i dont take paracetamolanymore as they use lactose to help bind tablets together( so im told but dont know if its true but stay away just in case). can i take anything as im in a bit of discomfort and the rescue remedy tinture isnt doing much for me and i also want to be ready tommorow as to what meds i can take? i feel a bit of an arse i can tell you.

You didn't say what your original body jewelry is made of. If it's not titanium, it could be too late to save the piercing. Some people even react to surgical stainless steel. A lot of body jewelry isn't even hypo-allergenic, and while jewelry like this should not be used to heal a piercing, it often is.

If it's not significantly better tomorrow, you probably should let the piercing go. There will be less scarring, and you can always repierce it later with proper titanium jewelry. You don't want to have the piercing reject on its own! The scar will be nasty.

sorry i should have been clear the pierceing had healed up good it was the insect bite next to the pierceing that made things turn. i dont think it is titanium but i had my nipple pierced a while back and it was fine. the reason im changing the bar is cos at the end of it is a pink stone but it comes to a point at the end and it digging in to the bite infection so makeing it worse so gonna change it for a ball. i really dont want to lose the piercengas i reall like it and i dont want to have it re-pierced in a few months time as it really hurts!!!!

      Pathology results - coeliac positive?

      By Tazzy11 · Posted

      Thanks so much for replying!  No I haven't been limiting gluten prior to this test, I didn't know the Dr even tested for it until I got my results. These were the only celiac related pathology that was tested for. I am seeing my Dr on Monday so hopefully she can shed some more light!

      Brasswell marmalade and jellies are gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Good afternoon, I don’t know if anyone here has ever tried Braswell’s products like their marmalades or jellies? Are they gluten-free? On the ingredients says “cane sugar, cherries (cherries, cane sugar), strawberries, corn syrup, pectin and citric acid. That ingredient list is from their berry preserve bottle. Most of them say the same for ingredients, but I’m not sure if it is okay to consume.

      NEED TO READ ALL LABELS (FRONT & BACK)

      By Peggy M · Posted

      I have seen this problem many times. I always get in touch with the company. Most times they tell me if I'm just gluten free it is ok, but do not eat it if you are celiac. Calling the company is the best way when you are not sure. Yesterday I had a different example of products being marked gluten-free.  I love chocolate and have a piece each day. The chocolate bar I like is Chocolove. When I bought one this week it was not marked gluten-free. I called the company to find out why and if it was still gluten-free.  Turns out the manufacturer decided there was too much on the wrapper and took off the gluten-free label. It is made in a dedicated gluten-free facility.
