Antacids

I need someone to clear this up for me because while I have gotten quite good at breaking down food labels, I cant figure out the antacids (tums, rolaids, etc.) I remember reading somewhere on this site (or perhaps on the delphi list) that pfizer will always list gluten in their products, but the rolaids (chewable, not the softgels) dont list anything about gluten and i called pfizer and they said that none of their rolaid products are gluten-free. I love tums and rolaids packaging b/c they come in minis and i can throw them in my bag if i ever need them. Anyone know any product that comes in this size and is gluten-free?

I cant find a single antacid that i can trust!! what about the generic ones by cvs or duane reade? (im guessing the ingredients are the same as tums and rolaids, but if anyone knows about this let me know!

I use Zantac 75 or 150"s. the 150's usually clear out my system at some point after taking one, but I am usually home. Pepsid is also ok. Don't think Tums chewable is good, but will have to look it up.

Go to the products thread and search for "antacids". There you will find your answers.

This is from Delphi:

Rolaids (Pfizer) (vp=9-16-04)

Rolaids Soft chews in vanilla and wild cherry are NOT gluten-free. All other Rolaids products are gluten-free, including the Zantac 75,

however they do NOT guarantee that there is not cross contamination with their products.

I think the answer you got was just a "cover the butt" answer..... the typical.... I think you are safe. I know up here in Canada, I use Rolaids Multi-Symptom Antacid and Antigas, it is gluten-free up here......

TUMS have gluten in them. Don't use them. Since going gluten-free I don't find a need for antacids often, but when I do, I use 1 tsp baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) dissolved in a cup of water. gluten-free, but it will probably cause you to belch! :huh:

      Help I’m cross contaminating myself,

      So I should not eat my gluten free bread?  I will try the vitamins.  Thank you all so very much for your ideas and understanding.  I'm feeling better today and have gathered back my composure!

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Some people prefer eating gluten before bed, then sleeping through the worst symptoms at night.  You might want to try that and see if that makes any difference.   Several slices of toast for breakfast sounds okay.  Just try to work up to the Ten grams of gluten.  Cookies might only have a half of a gram of gluten.  The weight of the whole cookie is not the same as the amount of gluten in it.  So do try to eat bread things with big bubbles, like cinnamon rolls.   Yeah, I'm familiar with the "death warmed over" feeling.  I hope you get the genetic test results quickly.  I despise how we have to make ourselves sick to get a diagnosis.  Hang in there, sweetie, the tribe is supporting you.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      @knitty kitty  Thank you very much for the advice. I did the exam this morning, my doctor actually suggested me to take something called "Celiac duo test" in which I first do the genetic test and if it's positive, then I'll have to do the antigen blood test. I have to attend 1 month until my results are ready, so I have some weeks to increase the amount of gluten I eat daily. It will be hard because my health is not the best right now, but I also did a blood test to cheek my nutritional deficiencies. The results will arrive on Tuesday, so I can ask my doctor what should I do to control my symptoms and blood levels during this month. For now I'm resting and paying attention to what I eat— at least I don’t look like a vampire who just woke up, like I did yesterday. I'm still scared because is the first time I've felt this sick, but this is the right moment to turn things around for the better.  I realized that if I eat gluten at lunch I cannot finish the day properly, I become severely tired and sometimes my stomach hurts a lot - let's not talk about the bloating that starts later. Do you think is it ok to eat gluten just in the morning, like some cookies and slices of bread for breakfast?

      I suffer from Dermatitis Herpetiformis, too.  Like @Rogol72, I had to cut out all gluten-free processed foods, dairy, oats, and eggs before my skin cleared up.  I followed the Autoimmune Protocol Diet. I also supplement with the eight essential B vitamins.  (Meat and liver are great sources of B vitamins.)  Low levels of certain B vitamins ( B12, Thiamine, Pyridoxine, and Niacin) can affect the nerves, resulting in itching and tingling.  Niacin especially helps with the itching and healing the blisters.  Tallow Balm helps with the healing, too.  Zinc and Vitamin A also help with skin health.   I've gotten such good results with Niacin and the other vitamins mentioned that I've never had to go on Dapsone.
