google tamiflu and you should get a lot of information. i don't know the full extent of the side effects, but i do know you have to take it immediately (within 24 hours of symptom onset, as i recal) for it to really be effective and worthwhile.

hello

tamiflu is used to treat certain types of influenza successfully

manufactured by roche this medication is a lot in the news now as it is also needed to treat the bird flu virus that has spread to various parts of the world

the most common side effects of tamiflu are vomiting and nauseau

those you can avoid by taking tamiflu on a full stomach

I am assuming that Tamiflu is gluten-free? Anyone know? I also heard on the news that it was good to treat bird flu and many other types of flu.

Tamiflu will eventually fail. Their words not mine. What happens if the first wave quickly renders Tamiflu useless ? What happens during the second and third waves ? We can pray for a vax but that won't help your average third world citizen. And, there won't be enough to go around for richer nation either.

I see a lot of interest in the aforementioned compounds both by alternatives practitioners as well as traditional researchers doing work for big pharma. Everyone is looking the next neuraminidase inhibitor.

      Hey @Butch68, I also have dermatitis herpetiformis but don't suffer from it anymore. I used to drink Guinness too but I drink Cider now when out on social occasions. I assume you are in Ireland or the UK. If it's any good to you ... 9 White Deer based in Cork brew a range of gluten-free products including a gluten-free Stout. I'm not sure if they are certified though. https://www.9whitedeer.ie/ I haven't come across any certified gluten-free stouts this side of the pond.

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease. While it's fascinating to hear anecdotes from other coeliacs who can drink it without immediate issues, this is a risky exception rather than the rule. The core issue is that Guinness is brewed from barley, which contains gluten, and the standard brewing process does not remove the gluten protein to a level safe for coeliacs (below 20ppm). For someone like you who experiences dermatitis herpetiformis, the reaction is particularly significant. DH is triggered by gluten ingestion, even without immediate gastrointestinal symptoms. So, while you may not feel an instant stomach upset, drinking a gluten-containing beer like Guinness could very well provoke a flare-up of your skin condition days later. It would be a gamble with a potentially uncomfortable and long-lasting consequence. Fortunately, there are excellent, certified gluten-free stouts available now that can provide a safe and satisfying alternative without the risk.

      Interestingly, this thought occurred to me last night. I did find that there are studies investigating whether vitamin D deficiency can actually trigger celiac disease.  Source: National Institutes of Health https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7231074/

      Before being diagnosed coeliac I used to love Guinness. Being made from barley it should be something a coeliac shouldn’t drink. But taking to another coeliac and they can drink it with no ill effects and have heard of others who can drink it too.  is this everyone’s experience?  Can I drink it?  I get dermatitis herpetiformis and don’t get instant reactions to gluten so can’t try it to see for myself.

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.
