Antibiotics?

I do all I can to make sure my meds are gluten free. I have a great pharmacy that checks for me as well. However, I've had three different types to cause me trouble and they are all generic ones. Brand name seems to be fine. I get so bloated and have side pain. Other gastro problems. Any ideas? I just got over being glutened and tonight have so much pain from this. I'm pretty sure it's the med, I was feeling fine until I took it today.

I don't know if your meds have gluten, but I do know that antibiotics in general mess up my digestive system pretty badly...and fast, too! I take a probiotic to counter the antibiotic, maybe you could try that? Hope you feel better soon!

I always always take a probiotic with an antibiotic. Seems to help a bit. I have had c diff before from antibiotics so I am very careful about keeping my gut happy! In fact I have surgery tomorrow and started a probiotic a week ago in anticipation of them putting me in antibiotics after.

-- as far as the generic brand goes it should be fine if your pharmacist has manufacturer info and ingredients but it makes me wonder if those factories that mass produce generic medicine really take enough care to avoid CC. if you are super sensitive you might need to stick to brand name. I'm not sure where you live but I am in Cabada and my employer benefits cover generic brands 80% but if I were to choose the brand name I would pay the difference.

      And the fact is, no two celiacs will necessarily respond the same to gluten exposure. Some are "silent" celiacs and don't experience obvious symptoms. But that doesn't mean no harm is being done to their gut. It just means it is subclinical.

      Thank you, Trents.  I appreciate your helpful and friendly reply. It seems more likely to be a bug.  It has been a pretty severe bought. I feel that I don’t have enough experience to know what signs my little one shows after exposure to gluten.

      Hannah24, be aware that if you are on a gluten free diet, you will invalidate any further testing for celiac disease (except genetics) and would need to go back to eating significant amounts of gluten for weeks or months to qualify for valid testing.

      Hello, @Hannah24 Have you had a DNA test done?  Celiac Disease is genetic.  You must have at least one gene to develop celiac disease.  You don't have to be consuming gluten for a genetic test.   Anemia, diabetes and thiamine deficiency can cause false negatives.  Some lucky people are seronegative, but still have celiac disease.  Peripheral neuropathy, tingling in hands and feet are symptoms of vitamin deficiencies.  Vitamin C, Thiamine B1, Niacin B3, Pyridoxine B6, and Cobalamine B12 can each cause peripheral neuropathy.  These same vitamins are needed to produce blood cells.  Most undiagnosed Celiacs suffer from nutritional deficiencies. The DNA test would be helpful.

      We do hear of cases of remission but they generally eventually revert back. I wouldn't push your luck.
