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....

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. 🐱

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Celiac disease is the most likely cause, but here are articles about the other possible causes:

      Increased intraepithelial lymphocytes after 10 yrs gluten-free

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi @Atl222 As @trents points out, there could be many reasons for this biopsy result.  I am interested to know, is your gastroenterologist concerned?  Also, are your blood tests showing steady improvement over the years? I remember when I had my last biopsy, several years after diagnosis, mine came back with with raised lymphocytes but no villous damage, too! In my own case, my consultant wasn't remotely concerned - in fact, he said I might still get this result even if all I ever did was eat nothing but rice and water.   My coeliac blood tests were still steadily improving, albeit slowly, which was reassuring.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @Atl222! Yes, your increased lymphocytes could be in response to oats or it could possibly be cross contamination from gluten that is getting into your diet from some unexpected source but not enough to damage the villi. And I'm certain that increased lymphocytes can be caused by other things besides celiac disease or gluten/oats exposure. See attachment. But you might try eliminating oats to start with and possibly dairy for a few months and then seek another endoscopy/biopsy to see if there was a reduction in lymphocyte counts.

      Brown Rice Vinegar (organic) from Eden Foods is likely gluten free

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a solid, well-reasoned approach. You’re right that “koji” by itself doesn’t indicate gluten status, and the risk really does come down to which grain is used to culture it. The fact that you directly contacted Eden Foods and received a clear statement that their koji is made from rice only, with no wheat or barley, is meaningful due diligence—especially since Eden has a long-standing reputation for transparency. While the lack of gluten labeling can understandably give pause, manufacturer confirmation like this is often what people rely on for traditionally fermented products. As always, trusting your body after trying it is reasonable, but based on the information you gathered, your conclusion makes sense.
