Propoxyphene-n 100 W/apap 650 Tabs (darvocet)

Does anyone know how I can find out if my medication is gluten-free?

It is Propoxyphene-N 100 W/APAP 650 Tabs - The generic for Darvocet. The manufacturer is QUALITEST. I found a gluten-free drug list that listed this drug (Propoxyphene-N) but it had a different manufacturer. Do I have to contact the mfr?

Thanks :)

The Clan Thompson Drug List says:

Darvocet is "UNKNOWN" because suppliers change all the time.

Qualitest is a mfg listed, but not this drug.

SO, I would tell pharmacist that they MUST find out for you.

Good luck. I am Jewish, not practicing much, live in Virginia. Don't keep Kosher have enough problems with gluten-free, let alone trying to keep parev dietary restrictions! I travel too much for my job and have a horrendous time staying gluten-free on travel - and I normally do not succeed completely.

This gluten-free thing is a real mitzvah to one's health.

Franceen - Thanks! I am not Kosher, either - But I don't eat pork or shellfish and I try not to combine dairy and meat when possible. You're right about gluten-free being a mitzvah to one's health!

How confusing re: Darvocet. I guess I will, contact the pharmacy, and then also contact Qualitest.

How annoying!

Thansk for the help

      Celiac or Addison's complications? Can someone share their experience?

      By trents · Posted

      Scott makes a good point about the prednisone. It has a general suppressing effect on the immune system. Don't misunderstand me. In view of your husband's several autoimmune afflictions, it would seem to be an appropriate medication therapy but it will likely invalidate endoscopy/biopsy test results for celiac disease.

      I also want to mention that using prednisone would likely also make the endoscopy results invalid. This steroid will cause gut healing and could mask the damage caused by celiac disease.

      Bitters for digestion?

      This sounds to me like histamine intolerance. Some foods have more or less histamine. processed or aged meats, fermented food like yoghurt or kimchi and bread (yeast), spinach, eggplant and mushroom are high in histamine. Other foods like tomatoes are histamine liberators, they encourage your mast cells to release histamine, which can also trigger the reactions you describe, flu like symptoms, joint pain, urinary tract irritation, rash, stomach upset, nausea, diarrhoea & fatigue. I had liver pain like you describe, as part of the intolerance is usually a sluggish liver that makes processing all the histamine difficult. There are multiple possible root causes of histamine intolerance, usually it’s a symptom of something else. In my case, leaky gut (damaged gut wall)caused by undiagnosed celiac, but for others it’s leaky gut caused by other things like dysbiosis. Some people also experience histamine intolerance due to mould exposure or low levels of DAO (the enzyme that breaks down histamine in the gut). I’d try a low histamine diet & if that doesn’t improve symptoms fully, try low oxalate too. As others have suggested, supplements like vitamin d, b, l-glutamine to support a healthy gut & a good liver support supplement too. If you’re in a histamine flare take vitamin c to bowel tolerance & your symptoms will calm down (avoid if you find you have oxalate intolerance though). Best of luck

      @GeoPeanut, milk is one of the better sources of iodine. Iodine is known to exacerbate dermatitis herpetiformis. Many people find that a low iodine diet helps them avoid dermatitis herpetiformis outbreaks. So, maybe the fact that you have limited your dairy intake of late is helping with that.

      Hi, I'm new here. Sorry for your troubles.herenis a thought to mull over. I recently was diagnosed with celiac disease,  and hashimoto's and dermatitis herpetiformis after getting covid 19. I eat butter, and 1/2 cup of Nancy's yogurt daily. I stopped all other dairy and  dermatitis herpetiformis is gone! I also make grass fed beef bone broth to help with myopathy that has occurred.
