Benadryl For Allergies Helped My Bm's

So I took a whopping 50mg of Benadryl Friday evening because my allergies were out of control. I took claratin-D in the morning before work per usual.  But unfortunately I am very allergic to rabbits (but they are so darn cute) and had to examine 6 rabbits Friday morning. When I got home from work I was so miserable I took Benadryl to help me sleep my symptoms away.

 

A lovely side-effect is that my BM's have been more normal than ever before (like High-Five normal!). Does this indicate a normal side-effect for benadryl or does this indicate I have a histamine issue?? I am just confused as to why this worked so well. I know many here are on low-histamine diets... does this mean I need to consider this as a possibility, too?? Any thoughts would be appreciated.

my seasonal allergies have cleared, so when i ran out of (generic) zyrtec, i wasn't in any big hurry to get more.  but my guts are happier on the antihistimine  :)  yes, i have noticed that.  i'm not ready to go full on low histaimine diet, although i have considered experimenting with a few (elimination diet) also, if i am having a particularly stressful day, and my insides go on 'freak out' mode, i have a script for xanax that i use <i break it into pieces and take a very small amount.  helps when everything is threatening to turn to goo.  i used to take claritan d in the morning and i am thinking starting that again just to see what happens :)

Oh my gosh, I thought I was the only person in the world who is allergic to rabbits.  Mine goes to mild anaphylaxis, though.  I guess that can't really be mild but never had my throat totally close up, LOL.  So I avoid bunnies.  They are all over our area and eat the weeds in my yard and entertain my cat when she sits in the window so as long as they stay away no cuddles I am good.  And I can make monty python jokes. Not too sure about the BM change with benadryl but what you said definitely sounds like a reasonable observation.  Maybe just pay attention to it the next few times you take it and see if the pattern stays and it wasn't just what you ate overall.

      Manitol and mri

      It looks like "mannite" is another name for "mannitol": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mannitol You are correct that it can trigger IBS-like symptoms, as we recently did an article on this: I'm not sure if there is a way around this, as it is likely needed for the test. Perhaps contact your doctor to see if there might be an alternative?

      Toothpaste question.

      There is no scientific evidence to suggest that hydrated silica or its relative, silicon dioxide, triggers a celiac-specific immune response or causes intestinal damage in individuals with the condition. The concern you likely encountered online is a common misconception. Here’s the key distinction: the protein in gluten (gliadin) is what causes the autoimmune r...

      There is no single "best" probiotic brand universally recommended for celiac disease.

      There is no scientific evidence to suggest that hydrated silica or its relative, silicon dioxide, triggers a celiac-specific immune response or causes intestinal damage in individuals with the condition. The concern you likely encountered online is a common misconception. Here’s the key distinction: the protein in gluten (gliadin) is what causes the autoimmune reaction in celiac disease. Hydrated silica and silicon dioxide are minerals, chemically inert compounds of silicon and oxygen, and are completely unrelated to gluten proteins. They are widely used as abrasives in toothpaste and anti-caking agents in food powders because they are stable and non-reactive. While any individual can have a unique sensitivity to any substance, there is no mechanism by which these silica compounds would mimic gluten or exacerbate celiac disease. Your diligence in using a certified gluten-free toothpaste is the correct and most important step, as it eliminates the risk of cross-contamination with wheat-derived ingredients like starch. Based on current scientific understanding, the hydrated silica in your toothpaste is not an issue for your celiac management.

      There is no single "best" probiotic brand universally recommended for celiac disease. The goal of a probiotic in this context is to help support the gut microbiome, which can be disrupted by the damage caused by gluten exposure. The most important factor is not the brand name, but ensuring the product is certified gluten-free, as some probiotics use wheat-derived starches or are produced in facilities that handle gluten, posing a cross-contamination risk. Furthermore, the specific strains of bacteria can matter; some research suggests strains like Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium may be beneficial, but individual responses vary greatly. Because the supplement industry is not tightly regulated, choosing a reputable brand that undergoes third-party testing for purity and potency is key.
