<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Hello, all, I have been very hesitant about raising this question, but need some input from y'all. About six weeks ago I started feeling terribly run-down. Because I am absolutely paranoid about my diet, I wrote off CD questions immediately, and became quite concerned about anemia or a possible recurrence of heart problems--this was how I felt before me my heart attack. Blood tests ruled out anemia, and a treadmill has been scheduled. I have been taking Fosamax since last November and had no problems with it. Because I take insulin, some days I couldn't take the Fosamax because my blood sugar was low and I needed to eat something when I got up. That happened for about 5 days in a row, and I started feeling better. When I started taking the F-max again, I started feeling bad again. Meanwhile, I was reviewing everything that had gone into my mouth, wondering where I might possibly be getting some hidden gluten. After talking with my doc, I discontinued the Fosamax and felt better within two days. In looking at the refill dates, my bad spell probably started when I had the Fosamax refilled in March. Has anybody else had or suspected such a problem? Fosamax is made by Merck, and I know there have been statements on this list that they won't warrant the gluten-free-ness of any of their products. As I said, I hate to raise this question, as I suspect there are many of us who have CD-induced osteoporosis and should be taking Fosamax. Any answers/ suggestions, anybody?
