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. 🐱

      Fresh Additions Fully Cooked Chicken Breast Bites

      By Nikki2777 · Posted

      Hi  - Anyone have any experience with these? I bought them at Costco thinking they must be gluten-free, but now I see Natural Flavors and Spice in the ingredients. There's no Gluten Free labeling. However the Costco site and two other sites say it's gluten free. Anyone know?

      Restaurants that offer gluten free no cross contamination

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Yes, I doubt you can find a perfectly safe restaurant--perhaps a dedicated gluten-free restaurant, but in general, very few of them exist, and they tend to be in larger cities. Super sensitive celiacs should probably just avoid eating out.

      Newly diagnosed and maybe some type of protein intolerance.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.

      Restaurants that offer gluten free no cross contamination

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Kenz! Eating out is the number one threat to anyone with celiac disease. The best advice I can give is "don't"! Especially if you are supersensitive. The biggest problem isn't avoiding gluten in what you order but in how it is prepared and handled back in the kitchen where cross contamination can and does happen at multiple stages before it gets to you. You would need to have conversations with the cooks and receive assurance that your food is cooked on clean surfaces and in clean pans and handled with clean utensils, separate from anything that contains gluten.

      Restaurants that offer gluten free no cross contamination

      By Kenz · Posted

      I am new to this and have severely struggled to find places I can eat where I will not get sick. I am super sensitive to any cross contamination and gluten. I throw up, use the bathroom, get disoriented, can’t walk, can’t even lift my arms, legs, or head. It’s honestly so scary when I come in contact with gluten. I do live in a town where there aren’t many options. I live in Gadsden al. So if anyone has any recommendations of places to eat that would be so helpful .
