Help :p Does Anyone Else React To Cellulose In Meds Like Tylenol ?

Hello

I am Celiac and have been on a gluten free diet for about 5 months ..discovering new cross reactive foods along the way like potatoes and eggs :P   I also cannot tolerate the protein in dairy.

Last night I took Tylenol Sinus which I have not taken since before my diagnosis and WHAM!!  was hit by all my symptoms.   I get extremely nauseous.   It takes about 3 days for me to recover.

 

I looked up the non-active ingredients and found that Cellulose can be derived from wheat, rice, corn or potatoes ..so am wondering if anyone else has had this problem ?

 

Thanks so much for reading and look forward to hearing from anyone that might have some insight :)

 

Julie :)

The Canadian Celiac Association lists cellulose as a safe ingredient in food.

 

It is also listed here as safe.

I'm not saying you could not have a problem with cellulose, but if you do it has nothing to do with gluten.

cellulose can be  a problem for  many.Thyroid  people  seem to  have  issues  a lot   with  it....I  personally  don't  think it  has  anything  to do  with  celiac  or  gluten...Plus once  you  start  checking  it out  , it  is  hundreds  of  things....

I do not have celiac, but i cant tolerate cellulose in anything. I used to find one tylenol that didnt have it, but now it does. I thought it was from woodpulp, but i never heardit was from potatoes, too. I have salicylate and tartrazine asthma, so no potatoes. Mostly, the cellulose makes me horribly nauseated. I cant take anything else for pain, so have no clue at this point. Even theliquids have cellulose.

      Products that help to break down potential accidental gluten exposure

      GliadinX is such a product and many/some report it really helps. In the interest of disclosure, the company that produces it is one of our sponsors.

      Occasionally eating out in restaurants means that there is potential cross contamination in spite of ordering a gluten free dish. What enzyme supplements can the forum recommend that would help with potential cross contamination? Something I could take before I start eating. I used to order Wheat Rescue from Microbiome lab, but it is not available anymore.

      Hi  - Anyone have any experience with these? I bought them at Costco thinking they must be gluten-free, but now I see Natural Flavors and Spice in the ingredients. There's no Gluten Free labeling. However the Costco site and two other sites say it's gluten free. Anyone know?

      Restaurants that offer gluten free no cross contamination

      Yes, I doubt you can find a perfectly safe restaurant--perhaps a dedicated gluten-free restaurant, but in general, very few of them exist, and they tend to be in larger cities. Super sensitive celiacs should probably just avoid eating out.
