Is It Possible That Benzocaine Has Gluten?

I bought a small spray-on Benzocaine and used it a couple of times for a couple of days on a cut and I don't feel great the next day. I'm not eating anything different - this is the only new thing that I am using.

There's nothing in the ingredients that I'm able to see but since this isn't a food product who knows?

Has anyone had any experience using products like this?

You may simply be sensitive or allergic to Benzocaine.

      Anyone gone through public school gluten free?

      No I was 19 when I was diagnosed. And before then I brought my own lunch (usually a sandwich) which I would throw up an hour later. I wish we figured it out sooner. My folks thought I had an eating disorder and was purposely making myself sick. With the way things are going wouldn’t be surprised if people think a kid with celiac disease is just attention s...

      Just diagnosed with Celiac! Scared and feel alone.

      If your celiac antibody tests are still positive that may explain the ongoing symptoms. You might examine your diet and try to get those tests in the normal range before doing something like an MRI or CT scan. It took me almost six years to get all of my antibody tests in the normal range. At first I thought I was eating gluten free by avoiding wheat...

      Inhaler problem

      @Ann13, thanks for the clarification. I think I understand your point now. Yes, I realize gluten can produce non Gi Reactions. Let us know if you find out that there is gluten in these inhalers. I have my doubts but gluten does show up in strange places. It could also be manufacturer dependent of these inhaler products are generic.

      Inhaler problem

      Not everyone will be allergic to whatever they're using in food. There is another forum re people who are posting they have vocal cord & throat issues after they eat breads & pastas which stopped after they removed those foods from their diets. Same as me...gluten doesn't react as gastrointestinal it reacts orally. Which is why I'm saying ensure all...

      I certainly agree with all that. However, you also mentioned cornflakes with barley malt but that would obviously not be gluten free since barley is a gluten-containing grain. And the chemicals they spray on grains would affect everyone, not just those with gluten disorders. I'm just trying to figure out what this thread has to do with the main subject this...

My folks thought I had an eating disorder and was purposely making myself sick.  With the way things are going wouldn’t be surprised if people think a kid with celiac disease is just attention seeking. Had a nurse try to get me to eat sourdough bread one time to cure my celiac disease but I’m going a bit off topic. If I had a child that inherited my celiac disease I would make all their lunches I worked in restaurants and cafeterias before they aren’t safe too much cross contamination

Same as me...gluten doesn't react as gastrointestinal it reacts orally. Which is why I'm saying ensure all your food isn't what you're having a reaction to.  ...& I used Cornflakes as an example because some gluten free people would assume it's gluten free but if they're allergic to barley they will have a reaction...nothing to do with their inhaler.  You're missing my points a lot & frustrating so I'm done commenting. You really need to ensure your food isn't what's causing the issue. I am checking with symbicort manufacturer to check their ingredients.  Good bye... I'm done with this.

And the chemicals they spray on grains would affect everyone, not just those with gluten disorders. I'm just trying to figure out what this thread has to do with the main subject this online community is focused on. Is the point of this thread that having a gluten disorder makes someone more susceptible to reacting adversely to inhalers? That could be but it may have nothing to do with the inhaler having gluten. It could have to do with, say, having higher systemic yeast counts because the celiac community generally suffers from gut dysbiosis. So it would be easier for celiacs using inhalers to develop thrush.
