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!

      Is there a digestive enzyme that helps build a healthier gut? I see people taking them but not sure what really works

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      By trents · Posted

      So the tTG-IGA at 28 is positive for celiac disease. There are some other medical conditions that can cause elevated tTG-IGA but this is unlikely. There are some people for whom the dairy protein casein can cause this but by far the most likely cause is celiac disease. Especially when your small bowel lining is "scalloped". Your Serum IGA 01 (aka, "total IGA") at 245 mg/dl is within normal range, indicating you are not IGA deficient. But I also think it would be wise to take your doctor's advice about the sucraid diet and avoiding dairy . . . at least until you experience healing and your gut has had a chance to heal, which can take around two years. After that, you can experiment with adding dairy back in and monitor symptoms. By the way, if you want the protein afforded by dairy but need to avoid casein, you can do so with whey protein powder. Whey is the other major protein in dairy.

      hi, i want to say thank you to you and @trents   . after 2 phone calls to my GI, her office called me back to tell me that a blood test was “unnecessary” and that we should “follow the gold standard” and since my biopsy did not indicate celiac, to follow the no dairy and sucraid diet. i luckily have expendable income and made an appt for the labcorp blood test that day. i just got my results back and it indicates celiac disease i think 😭   im honestly happy bc now i KNOW and i can go gluten free. and i am SO MAD at this doctor for dismissing me for a simple blood test that wouldn’t have cost her anything !!!!!!!!!!! im sorry, im so emotional right now, i have been sick my whole life and never knew why, i feel so much better already   my results from labcorp:   Celiac Ab tTG TIgA w/Rflx Test Current Result and Flag Previous Result and Date Units Reference Interval t-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA 01 28 High U/mL 0-3 Negative 0 - 3 Weak Positive 4 - 10 Positive >10 Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) has been identified as the endomysial antigen. Studies have demonstrated that endomysial IgA antibodies have over 99% specificity for gluten sensitive enteropathy. Immunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum 01 245 mg/dL 87-352

      Thoughts? Non-endoscopic Celiac diagnosis in two year old

      By Samanthaeileen1 · Posted

      Okay that is really good to know. So with that being positive and the other being high it makes sense she diagnosed her even without the endoscopy. So glad we caught it early. She had so many symptoms though that to me it was clear something was wrong.   yeah I think we had better test us and the other kids as well.
