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.

      The ulcers are prepyloric ulcers. Not sure if that makes any difference.

      Duodenal ulcers are not uncommon either and often result from H.Pylori infections. https://www.healthdirect.gov.au/duodenal-ulcer

      I had what was termed "lesions," and normally ulcers are in the stomach, rather than the small intestines. I'm not sure why they would want you to have her continue to eat gluten, since she had a positive blood test, but as her doctor said, if she is uncomfortable and having symptoms why not have her go gluten-free at this point? If her symptoms improve, it would be another indicator that she has celiac disease and/or gluten sensitivity. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
