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.

      Dear Scott,  please check the link https://clinicaltrials.gov/study/NCT05574010?intr=KAN-101&rank=1 What do you think about it?

      KAN‑101 is still very much in development and being actively studied. It has not been dropped—rather, it is advancing through Phases 1 and 2, moving toward what could become the first disease‑modifying treatment for celiac disease. https://anokion.com/press_releases/anokion-announces-positive-symptom-data-from-its-phase-2-trial-evaluating-kan-101-for-the-treatment-of-celiac-disease/

      Still unsure.....

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Thiamine interacts with all the other B vitamins.  Thiamine and B 6 make a very important enzyme together. With more thiamine and other vitamins available from the supplements your body is absorbing the ones you need more of.  The body can control which vitamins to absorb or not.  You're absorbing more and it's being transported through the blood.   It's common to have both a Thiamine and a Pyridoxine deficiency.  Keep taking the B Complex. This is why it's best to stop taking supplements for six to eight weeks before testing vitamin levels.

      Yes I took a supplement that had B6 in it, low dosage though. I've stopped taking that. B1 doesn't affect other B vitamin levels?
