Anti Nausea Med

The anti nausea medication (compazine) I am taking now contains gluten, I think. So I wanted to see if anyone else knew of anti nausea meds that are gluten and casein free.

This isn't a medication, but it might work for you. They are called sea bands. You can get them on ebay. They are wrist bands with a plastic band that goes on your pressure point to control nausea.

Interesting about gravol... One has gluten, and the other has lactose (the ones I have seen).

Otherwise, I would use it.

I use pepto for nausea.

Where do I find out if my Rx drugs have gluten in them? I am doing all my research before I do a trial.

Thanks in advance

The forms of gravol that I listed don't appear to have gluten or lactose. So I think that they should be safe.

On the website that I provided, you can look at the ingredients for each drug at the bottom of each page in the availability and storage section. Usually they will say if the medication is gluten-free.

I use the phenergan suppositories, personally. They work fabulously.

I cant believe there are suppositories for nausea... I think I would rather stick to a pill form! Butif need be I might try one of the suppositories.

Makes sense to me, I have them because I have glass-digesting pain at times and can't keep anything down long enough for it to absorb!

There's nothing worse than throwing up partially dissolved pills, YUCK! Sticking something up my butt is much better than that :ph34r:

Doctors give them to people with migranes a lot, they work, but knock you on your butt!

sometimes when i feel as though i am nauseated due to my stomach just needs to be 'emptied' i do use a suppository, also. it provides a lot of relief in that case... as though i needed to expell everything in there.

does that make sense? i know it's detailed, but hey, our community of poop is what we are!

Is phenegram a script you must get from your doctor? What do you mean "but knock you off your butt"? Are they really strong anti nausea supps? Can you still function on them? Or are you gone fore the day...a lost cuase?

It's a script. I've never taken it when I would otherwise be functional (I only take it for the glass pain and I'm down for the count when that happens) but it makes me nice and sleepy. I think it affects everyone differently. One time I took them and managed to get to work, but I wasn't too functional, my tummy still hurt :(

If you're on antispasmodics and get the phenergan, make sure you don't have them both in your system at the same time. Holy crap I slept for almost 24 hours! :o

I take the Phenergan (promethazine) 50mg tablets. I actually only take half of a tablet, and they work the best out of any anti-nausea meds i have tried. I took the $20-something a tablet pills, Zofran, and had no luck with them. I've tried almost every other the counter product, even the sea bands. Phenergan is the only one that has brought me relief. It just makes me SOOOO drowsy. I try to stick to taking it before bed or if I'm going to be home all day, but in some emergencies i have taken it while out or at work and ive just fought the drowsiness. But for me so far its the only thing that works. I have never tried the suppositories. I was actually told awhile back that a local pharmacy actually makes a Gel that you rub into your skin rather than a pill or suppository. I may ask about it next time i see my dr.

Thats funny about you sleeping for 24 hours. The meds I take are Wellbutrin 75 mgs twice a day, Asacol 4 tabs a day, Entocort EC 3 tabs a day, calcium supplelemt, Ativan half of a .5 mg twice a day (when I wake up and before I go to bed). And of course I take the compazine right now for occasional nausea. I will definately ask about this next time I see my doctor.

I like your wedding picture? When did you get married? I got married this past January 7th.

Thanks :)

We got married July 15th of last year (hah, took me a minute to remember the date, stupid brain fog!)

Hope you find a good anti-nausea drug!

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

      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—especia...

      nothing has changed

      Seven months can still be early in celiac healing, especially if you were mostly asymptomatic to begin with—symptoms like low iron, vitamin D deficiency, nail changes, and hair issues often take much longer to improve because the gut needs time to recover before absorption normalizes. A tTG-IgA of 69 is not “low” in terms of immune activity, and it can t...

      About Celiac Remission

      This idea comes up often, but it’s important to separate theory from what’s actually supported by evidence. In celiac disease, the immune system does not “forget” gluten in a permanent or reliable way, even after long periods of avoidance, and the celiac genes do not turn off. While antibody levels (like tTG IgA) can normalize on a strict gluten-free diet an...

      need help understanding testing result for Naked Nutrition Creatine please

      Gluten testing is normally reported in ppm (parts per million), which is equivalent to mg/kg, not micrograms by itself. A result of <0.025 mcg only becomes meaningful if you know the sample size tested (for example, mcg per gram or per kg). If that value represents <0.025 mcg per gram, that would equal <25 ppm, which is above the gluten-free threshold...

      Medications

      Medication sensitivity is very real for many people with celiac and other autoimmune conditions, and it’s frustrating when that’s brushed off. Even when a medication is technically gluten-free, fillers, dose changes, or how your nervous system reacts—especially with things like gabapentin—can cause paradoxical effects like feeling wired but exhausted.

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.

      Seven months can still be early in celiac healing, especially if you were mostly asymptomatic to begin with—symptoms like low iron, vitamin D deficiency, nail changes, and hair issues often take much longer to improve because the gut needs time to recover before absorption normalizes. A tTG-IgA of 69 is not “low” in terms of immune activity, and it can take 12–24 months (sometimes longer) for antibodies and the intestinal lining to fully heal, particularly in teens and young adults. Eating gluten again to “test” things isn’t recommended and won’t give you clear answers—it’s far more likely to cause harm than clarity. Weight not changing is also very common in celiac and doesn’t rule anything out. Please know that your frustration and sadness matter; this adjustment is hard, and feeling stuck can really affect mental health. You deserve support, and if you can, reaching out to a GI dietitian or mental health professional familiar with chronic illness could really help you through this phase. This study indicates that a majority of celiacs don't recover until 5 years after diagnosis and starting a gluten-free diet: Mucosal recovery and mortality in adults with celiac disease after treatment with a gluten-free diet However, it's also possible that what the study really shows is the difficulty in maintaining a 100% gluten-free diet. I suspect that if you looked closely at the diets of those who did not recover within 2 years might be that their diets were not 100% gluten-free. Perhaps they ate out more often, or didn't understand all of the hidden ingredients where gluten can hide. Either way, it shows how difficult recovery from celiac disease can be for most people. According to this study: This article explores other causes of flattened villi:

A result of <0.025 mcg only becomes meaningful if you know the sample size tested (for example, mcg per gram or per kg). If that value represents <0.025 mcg per gram, that would equal <25 ppm, which is above the gluten-free threshold; if it’s <0.025 mcg per kilogram, it would be extremely low and well within GF limits. Without the denominator, the result is incomplete. It’s reasonable to follow up with the company and ask them to confirm the result in ppm using a validated method (like ELISA R5)—that’s the standard used to assess gluten safety.

Even when a medication is technically gluten-free, fillers, dose changes, or how your nervous system reacts—especially with things like gabapentin—can cause paradoxical effects like feeling wired but exhausted. The fact that it helped bloating suggests it may be affecting gut–nerve signaling, which makes sense in the context of SIBO, but that doesn’t mean the side effects should be ignored. You’re carrying a heavy load right now with ongoing skin, eye, and neurological uncertainty, and living in that kind of limbo is exhausting on its own. It’s understandable to feel overwhelmed and discouraged when systems and providers don’t meet you where you are—your experience is valid, and continuing to advocate for yourself, even when it’s hard, really does matter. You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      I am not aware of an air detector for gluten, but Nima Partners sells a device that can detect gluten in minutes in a small sample of a meal or food that you eat. They are also a sponsor here for full disclosure: https://nimanow.com
