Well, it could be gluten, and also could be your meds, or even a combination of both. Of course, if and when you go gluten free, you also have tomake sure your meds are gluten free. Gluten free doesn't work unless you go totally gluten free.There are so many rules to gluten freedom!!!

For years, Pfizer said that Xanax was gluten free. I had terrible panic attacks for several years and used Xanax, which I was sure couldn't be an issue, Phizer said so. Well, they lied. I called them and spoke with a pharmicist there and he said, it had never been gluten free, then denied that they released any info to the contrary. By the way, they are still saying it's gluten free.So, I searched and searched until I found a lab that does make generic Xanax gluten free, and never react to it. When I would take Pfizer's Xanax, it would work that day, then the next day I was always sicker, and I just assumed (which we all know what that means) the reaction was from something else.

So, gluten free is a commitment, and I will not say it's easy, it's not. You have to read every label, analyze what they say, then analyze again. I find sticking to items with the least amount of ingredients is the easiest. Now, I do not eat processed foods, which makes it much easier.
