Does anyone know if Spirntec oral birthcontrol is gluten-free ? I'm waiting to hear from a source but thought i'd ask you all. It says it has pregelatinzed starch Does anyone know if this is ok?

Thanks For Your Help, Tina

Just for the record, I called about Tri-Lo-Sprintec, which is a generic for Ortho-Tri-Cyclen Lo that has recently become available. The company said it is gluten free. Here is their information:

I took tri sprintec for 12 months with no problems. the next one i got onto was another that was generic for tri cyclen and it made me sick within three weeks. i contacted the manufacturer and they had wheat starch... so i called my gyno and requested another scrip which hasnt bothered my stomach but hasn't done as good of a job of controlling my mood swings. tri sprintec has been my favorite so far but its been over a year since i was on it so there is a possibility the formula has changed. i would get in contact with the manufacturer as it is VERY hard to find acurate ingredient info on the net. its like they dont want to release their secret ingredient or something

      Yes, if you had symptoms when eating gluten ruling out celiac disease won't necessarily mean you'll be able to eat gluten again, although it might mean that you may be able to be less strict with your gluten-free diet.

      Have you considered the possibility that you might have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) rather than celiac disease? They share many of the same symptoms, the difference being that NCGS does not damage the lining of the small bowel. It is 10x more common than celiac disease. There is no test yet available for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. In view of your genetic profile, I would give it consideration.

      Help with results

      Hi, 25f who recently had a endoscopy procedure to diagnose celiac disease. Mum and uncle are both diagnosed celiacs. I've had symptoms over the past year - headaches that have become debilitating and frequent, feeling faint and nauseous with high heart rate, diarrhea and constipation, anemia, and recently my periods have become almost non existent. My doctor sent me a letter yesterday saying this " biopsies from the duodenum show some very mild features that could be in keeping with celiac disease but also could be due to other causes". I am waiting on an appointment to see him in the clinic to discuss this but in the meantime I wanted to check if anyone else has experienced this? I was eating plenty of gluten before my camera test and for the past 2 weeks have completely cut it out of my diet and I'm seeing changes in my bowel movements for the first time in my life! Headaches, dizziness etc are still there but maybe it takes longer for them to go away? Any help would be so appreciated -  I feel so lost in this whole process!!
