I take Zofran or Phenegran. Zofran is more expensive so I take it when I can't lay in bed. I take Phenegran and it works pretty well cus' it knocks me out and when I feel that bad I'd rather be sleeping, anyway!

Don't take the Ipecac or whatever syrup. It will keep you vomiting until you are just dry heaving and nauseated for days afterward. Not worth it by any means.

Usually I just lie in bed and sleep it off.

WARNING IMODIUM liquid is NOT GLUTEN FREE

I was reactive to the liquid IMODIUM so I called IOpen Original Shared Link and guess what-- Imodium liquid is NOT free of GLUTEN. BEWARE! It has SOY in it also and SPLENDA is in the liquid.

The woman was very very nice, and told me that CORN is what they use as a binder.

So for us celiacs that are at the stage of the disease with seconary food allergies to CORN. This product although we think it is helping us, we might be doing more unseen damage to our bidy with the corn. AND The liquid had GLUTEN!

CALL the number yourself and speak up.

Sorry? I found this confusing...

Please correct me:

it has gluten from wheat, barley, rye, or oats

It has corn

It has soy

It has sucralose (splenda)

If it does have gluten from WBRO, which component is it in? The only sketchy thing I saw was flavors?

I called the 1800 # on the IMODIUM web site.

I asked the lady the ingredients in the Imodium liquid and then the pills. She looked up the liquid and said

LIQUID IMODIUM - CONTAINS GLUTEN (from wheat and grains) she said there is also a flavoring that contains gluten. And SPLENDA is the sweetener they use and IS CROSS CONTAMINATED with SOY.

PILLS IMODIUM - CONTAINS CORN. That was as far as I got. I didn't ask about SOY I was so upset.

I used my time with her educating her on the simple things important to know. And, I went deeper in hopes my converstation was recorded and logged into the "EARS". I asked her to write down a title of a book, that the brains in their labs should read called "DANGEROUS GRAINS..." I told her of a large grass roots movement happening around the USA of people with celiac disease, their families and friends to provoke change and awareness to big business, drug companies and our government.

And how we are going to demand ingredient labels like on food, but for drugs, beauty products, skin care and everything else... just like us not knowing IMODIUM LIQUID has GLUTEN in it.

I spoke to her about how millions and millions of people with celiac disease rely on Imodium, and how we have believe their product to be a safe drug to use with celiac disease when in fact they are making use sick(er).

Think about this long and hard. Think of the impact this has had on our health.

Tomorrow I'm going to call my compound RX guy and ask if he can make it, caps or liquid without the poison in IMODIUM.

it's nausea that predominates for me. i have diarrhea too, but the nausea and stomach pain are what floors me. i've found that nothing works better for me than herbal tea with lots of honey and some lemon. it usually takes about an hour to work, but then i'm significantly better for at least the next few hours. then i just keep drinking tea and eating mild things like homemade chicken soup and i'm, if not okay, at least not ready to off myself.

If you look at my post, you'll see that Ive suffered alot with celiac disease (accidentally). What kind of "seizures' do you have? Because I think I was having them, but Im not sure. I wanted a hospital, but, didnt think it would help. Suffered terribly falling to the floor off the toilet bowl--couldnt even keep my head/body up. I was crying and basically freaking out.

Skin flared up with cystic acne, had constant dizziness, feeling like I had to black out if I wasnt laying in bed. And-----the nausea!!!!!! OMG!!!!! a nightmare

Can you share more info about what you (or anyone else) do during and after a CA?

Alot of people have recommended ginger. Never tried it, not sure about it. Immodium helps alot, lots of brown rice, baked potato and water helped me.

Look foward to hearing from you guys!!!!

Please check out my recent post.......thanks! I'd love for more people to read it and share.

If I end up with bad D I use dark chocolate. The cocoa in 2 bars of quality dark chocolate is generally enough to clear it up. If not, repeat in a few hours. Conversely, if you are even the least bit C you should definitely avoid dark chocolate.

      Gluten and 30 other Items causing me Severe Muscle Inflamation Pain

      By Zackery Brian · Posted

      I'm sorry to hear about the challenges you've been facing with your health. Dealing with celiac disease and multiple food sensitivities can indeed be overwhelming. Here are a few thoughts and suggestions based on your experience and the replies you've received: Confirming Diagnosis: It's great that your gastroenterologist confirmed your celiac disease diagnosis through additional tests. Understanding the specifics of your condition can help tailor your approach to managing it more effectively. Food Sensitivity Testing: While blood tests for food sensitivities can provide some insights, they may not always be completely accurate. As mentioned by others, false positives are common, and individual responses to specific foods can vary. Discussing your test results and symptoms with a healthcare professional knowledgeable about celiac disease and food sensitivities can help clarify your situation. Research and Education: Exploring conditions like Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) and histamine intolerance could shed further light on your symptoms and provide additional avenues for managing your health. Gathering information from reliable sources and discussing your findings with your healthcare team can help you make informed decisions about your care. Dietary Management: Managing celiac disease and multiple food sensitivities can be challenging, but finding a balance that works for you is crucial. Working with a dietitian who specializes in celiac disease and food intolerances can help you develop a personalized dietary plan that meets your nutritional needs while minimizing symptoms. Stress Management: Chronic pain and health issues can take a toll on mental and emotional well-being. Finding healthy coping strategies to manage stress, such as mindfulness, relaxation techniques, or engaging in activities you enjoy, may help improve your overall quality of life. Remember, you're not alone in your journey, and seeking support from healthcare professionals, support groups, or online communities can provide valuable encouragement and guidance.

      Waiting for urgent referral.

      By Fluka66 · Posted

      Thank you very much for your reply. I hadn't heard of celiac disease but began to notice a pattern of pain. I've been on the floor more than once with agonising pain but this was always put down to another abdominal problem consequently I've been on a roundabout of backwards and forwards with another consultant for many years. I originally questioned this diagnosis but was assured it was the reason for my pain. Many years later the consultant gave up and I had a new GP. I started to cut out certain food types ,reading packets then really started to cut out wheat and went lactose free. After a month I reintroduced these in one meal and ended screaming in agony the tearing and bloating pain. With this info and a swollen lymph node in my neck I went back to the GP.  I have a referral now . I have also found out that acidic food is causing the terrible pain . My thoughts are this is irritating any ulcers. I'm hoping that after a decade the outlook isn't all bad. My blood test came back with a high marker but I didn't catch what it was. My GP and I have agreed that I won't go back on wheat just for the test due to the pain , my swollen lymph node and blood test results.  Trying to remain calm for the referral and perhaps needed to be more forceful all those years ago but I'm not assertive and consultants can be overwhelming. Many thanks for your reply . Wishing you all the best.

      Joint swelling when ill even on gluten-free diet

      By Moodiefoodie · Posted

      Wow! Fascinating info. Thanks so much! I really appreciate the guidance. @Spacepanther Over the years I have had rheumatologists do full lab work ups on me. They told me they had screened me for arthritis, lupus, and Lyme disease (all negative). In addition to joint pain and stiffness I had swelling in both knees that later moved to my elbow as well.  I also experience stiffness and pain in my neck and shoulders when it flares. I vomited fairly often growing up, but there wasn’t a real pattern to it and I didn’t know it wasn’t normal (thought people caught stomach viruses often).  I don’t usually have stomach symptoms immediately after eating gluten that I notice.  The only other joint condition I know of is fibromyalgia. Good luck! Hope you can get it figured out. I only assumed my joint symptoms were due to the celiac’s because it is under control for the most part on a gluten-free diet.  The rheumatologist also mentioned that some inflammatory/autoimmune diseases can be slow-moving and not detectable until they progress.

      Joint swelling when ill even on gluten-free diet

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Spacepanther, I found these articles about the connection between Celiac and joint pain. Musculoskeletal Complications of Celiac Disease: A Case-Based Review https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10201087/ And   Intestinal microbiome composition and its relation to joint pain and inflammation https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6814863/ And The gut microbiome-joint connection: implications in osteoarthritis https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6903327/ Sounds like it's time to change the diet to change the microbiome.

      Still testing positive after being gluten free for one year ?!!

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Shireen32,  Take some deep breaths.  Your labs are fine!  Your tTg IgA is so low!  Well done!  Your endomysial IgA is fine.  There's not a level on the endomysial test.  It's just "yes or no" for if you have celiac disease.   No, it's too early to call it refractory. What are you eating?  Please tell us more than meat and veg. Do you consume dairy? Do you consume processed gluten free foods?   Are you taking any prescription medications, herbal supplements, vitamins and minerals?
