Malaria Pills

I haven't seen too much about malaria pills here so I thought this info would be handy. I'm moving to Africa and must take a malaria pill for the next 2 years. According to my doctor, mefloquine, doxycycline, and malarone are all gluten-free (at least when manufactured in the U.S.-- I don't know about other locations). I'm keeping my fingers crossed that she got the right info when pharmacists weren't able to help me.

Cheers to being both gluten-free and malaria-free! :)

Be careful not to take doxy and malarone at the same time. Doxy can lower the effectiveness of Malarone.

It's funny he recommended doxycycline ... that's an antibiotic.

The nice thing about Lariam is that it's only once per week while Malarone is once per day. :) But if you have any kind of psych problems, you don't want the Lariam.

      Diabetic 2

      By trents · Posted

      There is no established connection between type 2 diabetes and celiac disease. There is a connection with type 1, however, as about 6% of those with type 1 diabetes also have celiac disease. This rate is 6x that of the celiac rate found in the general population. https://celiac.org/about-celiac-disease/related-conditions/diabetes-and-celiac-disease/

      Chicken Thighs

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Here is a link to the skin version, and the only ingredients are "chicken": https://www.perduefarms.com/en-US/perdue-bone-in-chicken-thighs-pack/60625.html There should also be ingredients and any allergens listed there on the package.

      Chicken Thighs

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @BeeBarnard! I really can't imagine how either skin or skinless chicken thighs could not be gluten free unless one or the other were treated with some seasoning ingredient that was not gluten free. Do the product labels indicate any additional ingredients added to the meat? Is your daughter a super sensitive celiac? If not, the amount of gluten cross contamination found in seasonings is usually inconsequential.

      Chicken Thighs

      By BeeBarnard · Posted

      HI, My daughter was recently diagnosed with Celiac and I would like to make her some chicken soup (she's got he flu). I found all gluten free ingredients but I'm having trouble with the chicken. I purchased Purdue bone-in chicken thighs from BJ's Wholesale Club. Purdue says that they are gluten free but the BJ's website says no. It seems like skin-on chicken is not, but skinless is. Does this seem accurate? Thank you
