Clindamycin, so frustrated.

I have been recently diagnosed with Celiac. And have been working so very hard and diligently to be as gluten free as possible. I started my gluten free diet Feb. 11th. And have slowly felt somewhat better. It is not the only AI issue I'm facing but the one I'm trying to tackle at the moment.  I am also fighting for the last few months an ongoing inner ear and sinus and tonsillitis infections. My ENT placed me on Clindamycin 300mg 3x day for 5 days as I'm having my tonsils and adnoids out soon to help with this ongoing battle. I made it to day four and looked like I was six months pregnent. My mouth hurt and had sores and I couldn't figure out why I wasn't eating gluten I had checked all my labels again.  Went to my gp she checked my antibiotic and sure enough it had a gluten binder.  I hadn't thought to check it cause it was a gel capped med. My mistake and it won't happed again. I still can nearly eat much and my poor stomach hurts beyond belief. It'll take some time. Got some probiotics and some bone broth going in my system. Its amazing how that sneeky devil is in so many things. Sorry had to vent. Thankyou for listening.

There are clindamycin oral caps without gluten.  G & W Labs makes one (according to the NIH).  Your pharmacist should be able to find and order what you need.

So, was it a generic then?  I just recently found out that most generic medications have a wheat based binder in them.  The article I read specified Generics.

This is not true (according to NIH, Pharmacist's Letter, etc.)  Be careful what you read in just one article.  I don't want people to worry that all their generic meds contain gluten.  Most do not.  It is best to always call the manufacturer first though just to be certain.  Better to trust the manufacturer than "one article".

Thank you to the person who researched and posted that G & W labs is gluten-free. I just started taking it. The starches and fillers should really be a part of the labeling to protect our health.

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!
