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.

      Oh my goodness medication causing pain !!!!

      I think I found a huge culprit for severe reactions to create worsening of my c symptoms. Do people with celiac have sensitivity and /or have opposite reaction to certain medications Where can I find a list ? I'm new here I'm.wondering why I am getting worse when I take certain medicine...the burning feet. Rebound muscle pain so intense ...

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      Yeah, that sounds super familiar. When inflammation levels are high — especially at the start of changing your diet — the body often develops a fructose and lactose intolerance. Unfortunately, the only thing that really helps is cutting out anything that isn’t lactose-free or that contains sugar. So basically, stick to meat, veggies, fish…

      Nausea

      I have trouble with nausea. It often starts when I’m anxious about something (home repairs, sick dog) but continues long after the home is repaired or the dog is healthy again. When it happens I eat less and lose weight. My gastroenterologist suggested ginger or peppermint tea. I don’t know if that will work or not because I haven't had the problem since she...

      Does anyone know if that includes scrambled eggs and healthy smart butter (,gluten free) I add a very tiny amount of margarine less than a teaspoon.  I did no't have any bread    It just seems like no matter what I eat my stomach and nerves over fire and here comes a host of horrible symptoms. My lower abdomen feels horrible, my right leg thigh muscle.. very odd. Jaw pain. Burning feet , joint pain , you name it  The anxiety just creeps up into brain fog. I don't think I could explain this to anyone who is unfamiliar.  Also,  I most likely will not remember posting this until I check it.  This is highly unusual for me because I have an excellent memory.  One weekend before I knew anything about celiac I lost an entire weekend from severe brain fog, confusion, pain, etc.  I honestly thought I was losing my mind. When I think back I recall eating a lot of PBJ sandwiches and turkey sandwiches.  Once again did not know about gluten.  I was just too sick to cook. Do people fast during attacks ?? It seems horrible to keep going through this. I hope I'm not causing my own problems... I wonder if I should fast because I'm not eating gluten .  Chicken ,  scrambled eggs no milk , canned carrots,  gluten free low sugar low fat Greek yogurt which I already posted about 😞 Any suggestions I am open... I am bedridden when this happens to me.  Thank you Celiac community. 🙏🏻❤️

      Hello  I'm not sure what to think . Seems no matter what I do I get sick. I had some yogurt with only 2 grams of sugar and is labeled gluten free ...the strawberry version seemed to really set me off My jaw is burning as well as my stomach and my feet.  Horrible pain..plus acid reflux and nausea... sensitivity to touch pain. ..yikes !! I don't know if it's from the lactose in the yogurt or if I'm getting an ulcer  This condition can make you question yourself quite a bit.  Then if you are not sure the anxiety comes 😞 Does any of these symptoms sound familiar to anyone? The neuropathy is quite intense.  What do you eat or drink after this happens  Open to suggestions  Thank you
