Lorlyn,

Where is the Whole Foods store and what gluten-free products do they carry? Since I am in Tuscaloosa I could easily drive up there. I shop at Manna Grocery here and they have some pretty good products. I get blueberry muffins for breakfast, cake mix, pretzels, spagetti, cinnamon rolls, pizza, cold cereal, etc. at Manna. Bruno's just stocked a gluten-free section yesterday so I got some breakfast bars, croutons, salad dressing, hamburger helper from there.

Where do you eat out in B'ham other than P.F. Chang's and Outback? I go to P.F.'s about once a month. Please let me know of other resturants. By the way, I am 39 and feel better than I ever felt in my 20's! :

Whole food store opens tommorow :rolleyes: I am going as soon as they open. My 10 year old daughter has been diagnoised with celiac and we are pretty sure my husband has it as well. Did not get him tested because we are self employed and do not need it on his medical records. I do not know for sure what all whole foods carry but i hear they carry a line of frozen bread, pies, cakes? and pie crust. I can let you know tommorow. People on this forum said we will enjoy having it. It is on Hwy. 280 past the Summit shopping center. My daughter doctor is Dr. Morris. I was real impressed that he knew exactly what blood test to run, and he said he did not know much about Celiac disease but to read this forum and I will learn more than he knows.

Let me know if I can help.

      Welcome to the forum, @Farmerswife! You are correct. Cornstarch should not contain gluten unless there is an issue with "cross contamination" with wheat/barley/rye in the processing. Even then, I can't imagine there being enough gluten in those pills/caplets/capsules to cause a reaction. Is this med in pill form, caplet form or capsule form? If capsule, it is possible that the capsule itself is made from wheat.  Another possibility is that your are "cross reacting" to the cornstarch. Maize is a fairly common cross reactor in the celiac community. But even so, there would likely be little maize (the protein component of corn) in the starch. Still another possibility, and the most likely one I'm thinking, is that you are experiencing a side effect of the med itself. It is an SSRI. Have you tried other SSRIs. SSRI's listed side effects include nausea and diarrhea. However, Escitalopram has the reputation of having less of a tendency than other SSRIs to produce these side effects. But you never know. Every individual is different. Have you tried other SSRIs?

      Recently diagnosed with Celiac and trying to figure out all the things. One concern I have is I have taken Escitalopram for years. Insurance does not pay for name brand so that is not an option. Cannot get it compounded at any local pharmacy. The generic brand that I have says it is not gluten free due to it having cornstarch in it. From what I understand cornstarch is gluten free. I do feel "glutened" most of the time when I take this. Anyone else have this issue and did you find a solution? Everything I google says Escitalopram is gluten free, but I don't think this one is.
