This drug has a number of side effects. The most common being

" The most commonly reported side-effects of Open Original Shared Link are diarrhea, abdominal pain, numbness or tingling in the skin, gas, feeling sick, and vomiting. "

Here is a link to the much longer list of possible side effects, some of which are serious.

Open Original Shared Link

May I ask why your doctor feels you need to take this drug daily for so long? People can become dependant on laxitives.  If constipation is one of your celiac symptoms have you tried increasing your fiber intake and perhaps some probiotics either from tablets or from probiotic foods like yogurt or saurkraut? Do talk to your doctor about the side effects and see if this med should be discontinued.

Celiac constipation is a major side effect of Magnesium Deficiency, try a natural method of fixing it and drop the laxatives which are only going to compound you issues. GO with Natural Vitality Calm, it is a magnesium citrate, Start with 1/4 tsp a day slowly up the dose over a week to 2 tsp, you might need more like me or less. You dose til you get loose stools then dose back down a bit (dosing to tolerance).

What is your diet, adding in more fiber helps, I found nuts and seeds to be my savior for this and cocoa nibs. WHOLE pumpkin seeds can have tons of fiber and if you can not chew them, you can food process/blend them into a paste for use in baked goods or eggs over 10g of fiber a oz this way.


Psyllium husk can be used a few weeks at a time but make sure you get off it for a few weeks. The stuff is like a loofah for your intestines. I use it in baked goods for a binder agent.

PS I am against the whole fruit/fruit juice thing due to personally it causes intestinal inflamation for me. Different AI disease I have reacts to sugars.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system

      Scott Adams. I was dealing with a DR that didn't care about me being celiac. I repeatedly told him that I was celiac and is everything gluten-free. He put an acrylic lens from j&j. I called the company to ask about gluten and was told yes that the acrylic they use has gluten....then they back tracked immediately and stopped talking to me. The Dr didn't care that I was having issues. It took me 6 months and a lot of sickness to get it removed.... which can only happen within 6 months. The Dr that took it out said that it was fused and that's why I lost vision. If they would have removed it right away everything would be fine. He put in a silicone one that was gluten-free and I've had no issues at all in the other eye. Do not do acrylic!

      Welcome @Martha Mitchell, I too would like to know more about your prior lenses, and especially about the potential of gluten in lenses. In theory this should not harm most celiacs, as the autoimmune reaction normally begins in the gut, however, in those who are super sensitive or have dermatitis herpetiformis it may be a potential issue.
