Well, I am going to take my first Plaquenil tonight with dinner. I think the ibprofen is really taking a toll on my stomach and intestines...................or it's the honeycomb cereal I ate over the weekend.

I'm nervous.

Honeycomb??? Is that even gluten-free? I heard they were not. Not 100% sure but I think I remember seing that on this forum.

Editing after searching.

Honeycomb is NOT gluten free. The ingredients lists Barley Malt.

Hi Nicole,

I would say it's the Honeycomb as they are not gluten-free. The plaquenil is known to cause gas and stomach issues for some people. Since I have such a sensitive GI tract my rheumy started me off slowly on it. I took 1/2 tab every other day and worked my way up to 2/200mg tabs a day within a couple of months and didn't have any problems.

It is important to have a baseline opthamology exam as one of the extremely rare side effects from plaquenil affects the eyes. It is very rare and with normal eye exams by an opthamologist not optometrist the side effect would show up before any damage occurs.

I assume you are on Plaq for possible Lupus, UCTD, etc???? There are some great message boards out there, here is one: Open Original Shared Link :) I just noticed you have Spondilitids and not Lupus, I am not familiar with it but do visit the website above if you get a chance.

      Not Sure What to Think

      By MMH13 · Posted

      Thank you so much, everyone. For the moment my doctor just has me taking iron but hopefully we can reconnect soon. I'm going to look into genetic testing, too. Great advice all around and I appreciate it--and you can bet I'm going off the PPIs!

      Sore muscles

      By Eldene · Posted

      I walk fast for fitness, 4 to 6 km per day. I am also 74 years old. Apart from the Celiac challenge, my lifestyle is healthy. I had a sciatiac nerve pinching under my one foot, with inflamation in my whole shin. It was almost cured, when the other shin started paining and burning. I do stretches, use a natural cooling gel and rest my feet. Can Celiac cause muscle pains/inflamation, or is it just over-excercising?

      Trader Joe's grocery prodcuts

      By LovintheGFlife · Posted

      I recently started shopping at a nearby Trader Joe's store. I was surprised at the number and variety of (healthy) gluten-free options sold there. I must admit their low prices are also quite tempting. However, I am curious as to the labeling on all their packages. While none of their products are certified as gluten-free, many are identified as 'GLUTEN FREE' on the packaging. Are these items safe for celiacs? Has anyone tried Trader Joe's products and have there been any adverse reactions?

      Gluten challenge

      By Beverley Ann Johnson · Posted

      HI, my doctor suggested one week of consuming gluten before blood tests.  I have been gluten free for 3 years.  Has anyone been through this and will I get exact results after one week of consuming gluten?  I don't even know if I can do this, if I get sick I am not sure if I can continue, any suggestions??  Thanks in advance.
