Hi, I was diagnosed type II in 2010, but have not really been able to control my blood glucose levels. So I went on a search and started eating mainly paleo for a good while, my blood sugar more or less stabilized, but that diet is restrictive and after a few months I caved in to bread, only a couple of slices.
Oh boy, that was a disaster. It felt like my throat and passage right down to my stomach was on fire and I had delhi belly for days.
Then I realized that my poor health was due to something like gluten intolerance or worse celiac disease.
So I started a gluten free lifestyle, but it's almost impossible to do. I found out yesterday that the vitamin C powder I was taking was making me a whole lot worse after taking it in the mornings, I have tinnitus and it goes way high after taking C.
The C is made from corn and it looks like I am corn gluten sensitive as well.
Washing up liquid in the UK, main brands that is, have gluten in them, same for washing detergent, shampoo, soaps, etc.
So I am cutting them out as well.
So yesterday I realized that the metformin I take, different brands from my chemist may not be gluten free. They are packed in environments that contain gluten. Looking online there seems to be only one brand that is gluten free but it looks to be american only.
Does anyone know of a gluten free brand of metformin in the UK?
Thank you in advance.
