Okay so i have been taking a medication and when i went to pick it up it said on the bottle "This is the same medication you have been taking it is just different in size or color". it still said "inwood labs". i called CVS And they said they are switching to caraco labs. so i called caraco labs today and asked if there was any gluten in the medication. she said yes, "gluten from corn starch". i explained what gluten was and that gluten is not in corn. she said she would get back to me- she was kind of rude. what does this mean??? i also cant stop the medication suddently or i get withdrawl symptoms. i have a few days left at least of the inwood labs one which i know is gluten free.

Hi Jess.. maybe they were referring to corn gluten? corn has its own, and it doesnt affect us. that is all i can think of! i am sure others will chime in on this one

thanks Stephanie. i didnt know there was such thing as corn gluten. who knew? that is kind of confusing. i geuss its is a different kind of gluten.

edit- okay they just called me back and said it was corn gluten and "not the gliadin that affects celiacs" so i geuss its okay. i got scared for a minute!

Gluten, technically, is a generic term, for the protein found in pretty much every single grain - wheat, barley, rye, corn, millet, rice, buckwheat, etc. Chemically speaking, it's a broad term.

Medically, our community uses it to refer to only four of the gluten proteins - from wheat, barley, rye, and oats - out of all of them. (Hence, the term is overloaded.)

      Anyone try this? No matter what the brand, probiotics have ALWAYS made me break out bad. I am hesitant to try this simply for that fact, but I ordered a 3 month supply. Any input would be appreciated. Wish me luck.

      Gluten free vitamins

      @llisa, I am curious to know how much vitamin D you are taking and what is your plasma level in nmol/L or ng/ml what the doctor's target 25(OH)D is. Hopefully with the gluten free diet you'll be able to feel better.

      Gluten free vitamins

      Yes, but if you had been avoiding bread because of the stricture, that might explain the negative result of the previous celiac antibody test.

      Gluten free vitamins

      Hashimoto diagnosed over 20 years ago after my daughter was diagnosed and told me to get checked due to similar symptoms. Diabetes diagnosed same time. Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency this past summer. Celiac last Wednesday. Have been having the digestive issues for a couple of years, several doctors--thought we had it solved with the Creon. Then symptoms...

      Diabetes and Hashimoto's as well, huh? You are the epitome of the autoimmune cascade effect. That is, once you get one autoimmune condition you tend to develop others. But I am curious. In the sequence of these several autoimmune diagnoses, where did the celiac diagnosis come? You certainly have a lot of health issues to juggle.

      Hashimoto diagnosed over 20 years ago after my daughter was diagnosed and told me to get checked due to similar symptoms. Diabetes diagnosed same time. Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency this past summer. Celiac last Wednesday. Have been having the digestive issues for a couple of years, several doctors--thought we had it solved with the Creon. Then symptoms got worse. I have a theory about that. I have a stricture in my esophagus that has to be dilated every 6-8 months. When it is tight, I have trouble swallowing. Bread is one of the harder things to swallow, so I avoid it. Had the stricture stretched end of October and started eating bread again. That's about when the diarrhea, bloating, gas, and pain started getting worse. Went in for another upper endoscopy and dilation of stricture last week. (It had been so tight this time, he scheduled a second dilation one month after the first.)  I told him how miserable I'd been, and he did the small intestine biopsy. I know they did the blood test for celiac about a year or more ago trying to find source of my problems,  and it was negative.
