Anyone used this?

 

It says it is gluten free. GI doc suggested it for continued pain on right side. Looks like it is mainly peppermint oil.

Hi Ironictruth,

 I haven't tried it.  I think i prefer peppermint tea myself from the sound of this stuff.  Nothing terrible about it I suppose, but peppermint tea at least tastes good and warms me up in  the winter.

I totally ended up getting Traditional Medicinals peppermint tea instead and am sold.

That's good.  Celestial Seasonings make a good one also.  Tea up! :)

My mother had some and offered so I just took two last night for the first time shortly before bed because of my increasing stomach pains because accidentally getting gluten that dinner and I also took my prescribed Lorazepam as needed because I was getting a panic attack too because of my existing anxiety and bipolar disorder. So combined it seems to calm it down a bit if not some. Will need more opportunities to take again if gluten to reach a better conclusion for myself but of course don't want to ever get gluten again.

Welcome to our forum!

This thread is rather old.  The original posters might not answer.

I'm assuming you've been diagnosed with Celiac Disease.  Please remember that Celiac Disease causes malabsorption because of the damage to the villi in the small intestine.  The damaged villi can't absorb all the vitamins and minerals that you need.  This can affect your brain function as well as your body functions.

Before I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease, I suffered severe vitamin and mineral deficiencies which caused me to have depression, anxiety, OCD, bipolar disorder and Wernicke's Encephalopathy among other things.  Not one of my doctors checked for vitamin and mineral deficiencies.  

I suggest you ask your doctor to check for vitamin and mineral deficiencies.  These deficiencies will affect your brain function.

I recovered by supplementing the vitamins and minerals I was not absorbing.  Here are some articles that explain more....

And...

Hope this helps!  Keep us posted on your progress!

Thank you so much Kitty! Ya I just updated my profile and joined rather late since I was diagnosed in 2017 and fully healed a year later because of following the gluten free diet! I was lacking sleep and didn't take my morning meds because of needing to flip my sleeping schedule (since I work nights) to contact workers compensation since I recently recovered from covid!

@ScrAlex,

We're glad to have you here now!

And very glad you beat Covid!

I find Oolong tea helpful when I get anxious or upset tummy.  I like Twinings brand.  I order it online from that big a store. 🐱

      Celiac symptoms but negative endoscopy and antibody test + family history of gastro problems

      By NoriTori · Posted

      @Scott Adams  Sure, Any and all information is welcome. Also the only was to convince my family to get tested is to get tested myself and conclusive answers. Very stubborn lot.

      Blood results

      Understood. It's very anxiety-provoking when you don't know what you are dealing with and don't know if you are attacking it correctly.

      Blood results

      By Heatherisle · Posted

      I have heard of NCGS, but everything is just so confusing!!! Just unsure of things as her EMA test was negative but TTG was positive @19u/ml(lab range 0.0-7.0).Apparently she also has occasional bubble like blisters in between her fingers, don’t know if that’s significant. She is triallling gluten free as suggested by the gastroenterologist after her endoscopy. Keep getting different answers when typing in her symptoms etc. Some sites say it can be possible to have coeliac, even with a negative EMA . It’s so frustrating and her anxiety levels are through the roof. I know she’s hoping it’s coeliac which is weird I know!!! But if it’s not it just means more tests. Sorry to ramble on!!!

      Rice Flakes

      By sillyac58 · Posted

      I ame looking for rice flakes that aren't cross contaminated to use in making oat free granola. Does anyone know of a brand? Also I see that some people just used puffed rice cereal, but it seems like that wouldn't be sturdy enough to withstand the mixing without crumbling. Any ideas out there? Thanks!

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      There isn't because there is currently no gluten-free labeling requirement for prescription medications. You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
