Hi again guys,

I've been prescribed this med for a stupid sinus infection.

From what I can tell it looks like there's no gluten - just asking if you guys could look at the Hi-Tech Pharmacal link and see what you think (the company can't be reached right now because of the hurricane out there!):

Hi Amanda, The product info states "no gluten content" so I would feel very comfortable using it. Plus, it makes no sense for gluten to be in an inhailed medicine. Hope your sinus infection gets better soon-they are no fun at all :angry:

Thanks Patty - It better be - because it's working! Hubby and three kids are all sick - so someone around here needs to get healthy to take care of the other ones.

Ha--there's no "sick days" for moms! Hope you and the family all feel better quickly :)

      diagnostic testing variance

      so much to it. the genetic testing will help if i don’t have it right? If theres no gene found then I definitely don’t have celiac? I guess genetic testing, plus ruling out h.pylori, plus gluten challenge will be a good way to confirm yes or no for celiac.

      diagnostic testing variance

      With NCGS there isn't villi damage, so it would not be detected via an endoscopy/biopsy. There also may not be high levels of tTG-IgA or tTG-IgG (sometimes they can be elevated, but in the normal range), but these blood tests may be slightly elevated or even high in people with NCGS: DGP-IgA and DGP-IgG (Deamidated Gliadin Peptide), but, you can still have...

      diagnostic testing variance

      That all makes sense thank you. I was within normal ranges - a little on the lower end. So, the NCGS would still show positive biopsy?

      diagnostic testing variance

      Do you happen to have the reference ranges for those blood tests, as they vary from lab to lab? Just the results don't mean much without those ranges. A gluten challenge would be the only way to get a formal diagnosis of celiac disease, and if the idea of eating lots of gluten for weeks sounds horrible to you, then you likely have either celiac disease...

      Winter typically ranges from about freezing to minus 13 fahrenheit. We have occasional thaws. We live 2 blocks from the longest skating rink in the world. There are downhill ski hills within 30 minutes drive and we can walk to set cross country ski trails. When dressed appropriately we can walk to Parliament buildings, national museums and art galleries,...

A gluten challenge would be the only way to get a formal diagnosis of celiac disease, and if the idea of eating lots of gluten for weeks sounds horrible to you, then you likely have either celiac disease and/or non-celiac gluten sensitivity, so you will need to decide how badly you want a formal diagnosis. Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS. Here is more info...
