I seem to be generally constipated for a week after any novocaine.

I have a sensitivity to the gluten in wheat, barley and rye. Many vitamins and medicines use some kind of grain derivative as a "holder" or "carrier" (my non-tech words) for the active ingredients.

I can only wonder if novocaine also contains anything like that.

I understand over 20% of population has this problem, most in worse form than I do.

Am trying to find data on novocaine contents that I can understand on internet.

It is possible, though not very common, according to FDA reports. You may also experience administration site irritation, pain, redness, swelling, and odd taste in your mouth.

Are you sure they used Novacaine? Most dentists do not use it, anymore. Safer and better medications have taken its place.

Jon, as to the grain derivative, do you have any more details on what was administered? It can vary, depending on which specific medication they used. Can you post back and clarify?
