What To Take For Gas And Other Things

I have the wal-mart brand of gas aid tablets. I don't have the box and was wondering if anybody knew right off hand if these are gluten-free? What does everybody take for diaheara(?). I can't use imodium(I end up in the ER when I take this) and pepto makes me sick. Any suggestions for this? Is Rolaids the only thing to take for tummy hurts? I think I read somewhere that tums are not gluten-free. Is this true? Still trying to get the hang of this med stuff. Thanks for any info. My Wal-Mart has the most informed pharmacy I have ever seen. I have asked about some other meds I take and they just blew me off! So my pharmacy really doesn't know anything.

Zantac 150's work for me when the gas it bad. It is over the counter. Hope that will help and it is gluten free.

Most products make me so constipated that I'd rather suffer with the gas. I usually curl up in bed or on the sofa with a heating pad. Lieing on your right side helps your system dispel the gas. (learned that from a nurse after major surgery)

If I understand correctly tums are not gluten-free..I use Rolaids multi symptom..for acid and gas

zantac is for acid/ulcer

The Tums website states that while they don't add any gluten to the product, they can not guarantee their suppliers. I, and some others here can't tolerate them.

For gas, I use Phazyme Softgels (the quick acting ones are NOT gluten-free). My GI told me to use them--they do work , I only use if it's particularly bad.

ebrbetty,

when you say the gas x gel caps are gluten-free. Is that the wal-mart brand or the other brand? Will have to get some phazyme gels just to have around for when gas gets bad. Haven't had too much gas since starting on the gluten-free diet. Thanks for all the info.

      Testing for celiac

      By Bebee · Posted

      I am new here, I have been diagnosed with Microscopic Colitis (Lymphatic) years ago and have been gluten-free, DF since, but I still can have occasional bouts of diarrhea (still trying to figure that out).  I also have MS, Hypothyroid, Arthritis, Reynaud's and my rosacea has been acting up lately.  What treatment is suggested to help with rosacea?  I would like to know too if there is a test for celiac if you have been gluten-free?   Thank you, Barb

      Newly gluten free… withdrawal?

      By K6315 · Posted

      Well, that's interesting. I am lactose intolerant and have been managing that for years. I'd be interested in seeing if that changes once I feel better from not eating gluten (one thing at a time for now, though). Helpful to hear about the avenin. I will do some digging and pose that to the dietitian. Grateful for your feedback.

      Nandos improper preparion celiac childrens food

      By kate g · Posted

      Recently my daughter ate in nandos harlow I rang in advance to speak about the celiac protocals and learned that childs portion chicken nandinos is cooked on the same grill as garlic bread even if they are celiac! Even if you clean it this is not good practise and will be making many children ill. I learnt adults butterfly chicken cooked on a grill purely for chicken.  This is fine and what we ordered however nandos need to take note of your practises for the safety of celiac children. my daughter has been ill from their nandinos chicken before and i emailed head office and they wouldnt accept responsibility

      High blood test numbers - with scales. Any advice?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @RMJ, you have multiple positive tests so celiac disease is likely.  This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease.
