Yup, that's the one!

Hi! I've just been prescribed sertraline and can't find if there are any safe versions out there. The pharmacy gave me a generic by aurobindo with sodium starch glycolate (no source specified). And the brand name (Pfizer) also has that ingredient, no source specified. I'm trying to contact both companies to see if I can get a straight answer, but I hate...

Daily Med is a website where you can look up any drug and find the inactive ingredients listed. But if they say any form of "starch" and don't specify the source, it could be wheat (not safe!) or corn/potato (fine). The only way to find that one out is to call the manufacturer and hope they can give you a straight answer : (

I've been taking fluoxetine for the past couple of years - I got very lucky that for me, it overall reduced the stomach issues that I was still dealing with due to celiac (now I only get diarrhea sometimes instead of constantly, ha). I also dealt with the sexual side effects, which were really upsetting to me at first (if you're feeling depressed, you definitely...

Thanks karen g! I actually did some more searching and found a few places that look like they might be hopeful (and someone really nice in the Topeka celiac association chapter wrote me back with some advice!). There are a few places that show up in Manhattan, Kansas, including one called Tall Grass Tap House. And then a chain that the woman from Topeka...

Thanks! the first time i clicked it seemed like nothing happened, and then I couldn't figure out how to delete the second one : )

Hi all! I'm planning a road trip with my best friend from Durham, NC to Denver, CO this June. I'm plotting out our itinerary now, so of course I'm searching up places to eat along the way! We're going to need to drive across Kansas (probably sticking to I70), and since it's at minimum 9 hours driving from Kansas City to Denver, we'll most likely...

So sorry you've between going through this, sincerely. I experience the same type of symptoms from glutening and it's incredibly difficult - honestly it's a traumatizing experience to realize that all of your emotional stability can spontaneously disappear, in a way that you're powerless to do anything about until it passes. My boyfriend tells me it's like...

I was a beer snob too - although I had mostly stopped drinking it for the free years before I was diagnosed cause it always made me feel sick (mystery solved now, haha) Congrats on the diagnosis and on finding the health food store! Ordering online is also a great way to go for products you come across or hear about and want to try - often prices are better...

Hi all, Does anyone know a decent primary care doctor in NYC (ideally Brooklyn, but i don't want to get too greedy with my wishlist)? I was diagnosed w/ celiac almost a year ago and am still struggling to feel healthy again (despite never eating out and following a totally paranoid diet). I know it can take more than a year to feel better, but between...

I totally get this. I've been avoiding restaurants completely for several months now, and I doubt I'll eat at a restaurant again for a loooong time, sadly. I learned that I get just outrageously sick from any gluten contamination, for about 3 weeks, so it is just not worth the risk to me at this point. just knowing that even at a generally safe place, there...

Oh wow, so glad this topic popped up - and interested that I'm not the only one! I always had horrible periods (a bit irregular but crazy PMS involving mostly gastro symptoms - I generally had to avoid eating the whole first day of a period, or spend the day puking, not fun). So I went on a low dose birth control pill that helped to moderate those symptoms...

Thanks guys! i'm having another cold and wobbly day, but at least my brain is sort of working so that feels a lot better. Here's hoping it lasts a little while this time : ) I think i definitely need to try the elimination diet and see what it turns up - I'm trying to find a good nutritionist to work with for it, so once I can get an appointment for it...

I agree - even though I'm pretty paranoid, I don't tend to worry about shampoo/conditioner or hand soap, but for anything that goes on my face or is meant to cling to skin (like lotion, hand sanitizer, etc), I won't use anything that has gluten or might be contaminated with it. It's been a pain finding and buying new things, but it's so worth it to not worry...

Hey, thanks for the replies. I do take a multivitamin (actually the naturemade one with iron), and digestive enzymes and probiotics. and i've also been avoiding dairy almost completely for 3 months (very occasionally i bake or cook w/ a little butter - but it doesn't seem to make a difference for how i feel either way, so i think i just avoid it out of habit...
