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.

      Fighting for a name

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system

      Scott Adams. I was dealing with a DR that didn't care about me being celiac. I repeatedly told him that I was celiac and is everything gluten-free. He put an acrylic lens from j&j. I called the company to ask about gluten and was told yes that the acrylic they use has gluten....then they back tracked immediately and stopped talking to me. The Dr didn't care that I was having issues. It took me 6 months and a lot of sickness to get it removed.... which can only happen within 6 months. The Dr that took it out said that it was fused and that's why I lost vision. If they would have removed it right away everything would be fine. He put in a silicone one that was gluten-free and I've had no issues at all in the other eye. Do not do acrylic!
