Anti-Inflammatory And Pain Killers

Hi,

I was diagnosed with celiac in December. I recently injured my foot. The doctor said I needed to take anti-inflammatory pills (NSAID). Though I've heard they aren't good for celiac, I said I'd try some OTC Motrin. I was too nervous about a prescription. He wanted me to take 600 mg doses. I tried it but am nervous about continuing since I don't want to aggravate the celiac. But my foot is in agonizing pain. Im on the verge of begging for the prescription. Does anyone know of any safe anti-inflammatory pills or pain killers ?

Thanks,

Emily

NSAIDs are fine for those with celiac disease. Everything in moderation. It should be okay while your foot is healing. Check the label for any gluten fillers as always. I can not take them because I am allergic to them -- not because I have celiac disease. You may have read about others having issues on this forum, but I think that is due to long term use/abuse. Again, everything in moderation!

Hope you are using some ice treatments too for the inflammation! Take care!

I have arthritis all over so I take them occasionally. When I have injured my foot in the past, I was told to actually take 800! because that is what the prescription dose of ibuprofen is. I always make sure to eat a full meal when I take anything like that, and drink a full glass of water, otherwise you can have stomach problems. Unrelated to celiac, like ulcers.

I had knee surgery last year and took ibuprophen without problems. Hope you are feeling better soon!!!

Thanks for the replies.

I have read conflicting things about NSAIDS. They are not good for your gut if it is damaged.

 

I have been taking LOTs of them for years and can't help but wonder if they are inhibiting the healing process.

 

On the other hand actual pain killers have helped me get through the day. Probably not the best idea.

As User001 said, make sure you have eaten, drink a full glass of water with them, and also, wait at least 20 minutes after taking them before you lie down.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      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.
