Has anyone ever been prescribed this by their GI doc? My doctor has prescribed this for me and I took one dose last night and feel super nausea today~

My son takes it daily. Miralax is polyethylene glycol, and is quite benign (it simply pulls water into the bowel.) However, nausea is one of the potential side effects. You may need to play around with the dosage a bit...I recommend talking to your doctor about the side effects you are experiencing.

I take miralax pretty often too, I haven't had much nausea and its definitely helped me feel a lot better - Its been a lifesaver.

Thank you for addressing this subject. I take Miralax and wondered if it was gluten free as well. My primary doc diagnosed me, but GI doc insists it is just IBS. I have not seen GI doc in a while, and it was on my list of questions for him.

      Not Sure What to Think

      By trents · Posted

      That's a good idea. It can at least establish the potential for developing celiac disease and can help people decided between a celiac diagnosis and NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). And it doesn't require a gluten challenge and can be had without a doctor's prescription.

      Anyone had endoscopy with a cold/cough???

      By awright24 · Posted

      I have my endoscopy on Thursday, has anyone had the procedure done with a cough? I don't have a continuous cough, but every now and then throughout the day I have sort of coughing episodes. They are a lot better than they were but I called endoscopy and they said to speak to my gp and my gp got back to me and said I need to ask endoscopy if its ok if I have it done still.  Help!

      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?
