Hi List mates
Please help!

I am taking Zithromax (Z-Pak), a 5 day antibiotic (by Pfizer).  I seem to be
having a gluten reaction.  I wonder if the reaction could be to these meds.
My Dr & pharmacist say that there is no gluten listed as an ingredient in
this drug.  Of course it is the weekend, so I cannot contact Pfizer.
I am also wondering if this reaction is caused by something else.  I am
lactose intolerant & I am sensitive to soy products, so I generally avoid
both.  Last night I did have a special treat...GF stuffed shells (from
Dietary Specialties). They contain lactose & some soy. Could I now be getting
a celiac like reaction form soy & lactose?  I usually have gotten some
gastric unpleasantness from these, but nothing like the severity of a celiac
reaction.

Thank you all so very much for your assistance, as well as for being there. I
get so much information & comfort out of this LISTSERV.
