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!

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      @rei.b, I understand how frustrating starting a new way of eating can be. I tried all sorts of gluten-free processed foods and just kept feeling worse. My health didn't improve until I started the low histamine AIP diet. It makes a big difference. Gluten fits into opioid receptors in our bodies. So, removing gluten can cause withdrawal symptoms...

      Finding gluten free ingredients

      Imemsm, Most of us have experienced discontinued, not currently available or products that suddenly become seasonal. My biggest fear about relocating from Maryland to Florida 5 years ago, was being able to find gluten-free foods that fit my restricted diet. I soon found out that the Win Dixie and Publix supper markets actually has 99% of their gluten-free...

      Okay well the info about TTG-A actually makes a lot of sense and I wish the PA had explained that to me. But yes, I would assume I would have intestinal damage from eating a lot of gluten for 32 years while having all these symptoms. As far as avoiding gluten foods - I was definitely not doing that.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      So you're saying that you think you should have severe intestinal damage since you've had the symptoms so long? DGP IgG antibodies are produced in response to a partial gluten molecule. This is different than what tissue transglutaminase antibodies are produced in response to. TTg IgA antibodies are produced in the intestines in response to...

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      I was tested for celiac at the same time, so I wasn't taking naltrexone yet. I say that, because I don't. The endoscopy showed some mild inflammation but was inconclusive as to celiac disease. They took several biopsies and that's all that was shown. I was not given a Marsh score.

      @rei.b,  I understand how frustrating starting a new way of eating can be.  I tried all sorts of gluten-free processed foods and just kept feeling worse.  My health didn't improve until I started the low histamine AIP diet.  It makes a big difference.   Gluten fits into opioid receptors in our bodies.  So, removing gluten can cause withdrawal symptoms and reveals the underlying discomfort.  SIBO can cause digestive symptoms.  SIBO can prevent vitamins from being absorbed by the intestines.  Thiamine insufficiency causes Gastrointestinal Beriberi (bloating, abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea or constipation).  Thiamine is the B vitamin that runs out first because it can only be stored for two weeks.  We need more thiamine when we're sick or under emotional stress.  Gastric Beriberi is under recognised by doctors.  An Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test is more accurate than a blood test for thiamine deficiency, but the best way to see if you're low in thiamine is to take it and look for health improvement.  Don't take Thiamine Mononitrate because the body can't utilize it well.  Try Benfotiamine.  Thiamine is water soluble, nontoxic and safe even at high doses.  I thought it was crazy, too, but simple vitamins and minerals are important.  The eight B vitamins work together, so a B Complex, Benfotiamine,  magnesium and Vitamin D really helped get my body to start healing, along with the AIP diet.  Once you heal, you add foods back in, so the AIP diet is worth doing for a few months. I do hope you'll consider the AIP diet and Benfotiamine.

But yes, I would assume I would have intestinal damage from eating a lot of gluten for 32 years while having all these symptoms. As far as avoiding gluten foods - I was definitely not doing that. Bread, pasta, quesadillas (with flour tortillas) and crackers are my 4 favorite foods and I ate at least one of those things multiple times a day e.g. breakfast with eggs and toast, a cheese quesadilla for lunch, and pasta for dinner, and crackers and cheese as a before bed snack. I'm not even kidding.  I'm not really big on sugar, so I don't really do sweets. I don't have any of those conditions.  I am not sure if I have the genes or not. When the geneticist did my genetic testing for EDS this year, I didn't think to ask for him to request the celiac genes so they didn't test for them, unfortunately.  I guess another expectation I had is  that if gluten was the issue, the gluten-free diet would make me feel better, and I'm 3 months in and that hasn't been the case. I am being very careful and reading every label because I didn't want to screw this up and have to do gluten-free for longer than necessary if I end up not having celiac. I'm literally checking everything, even tea and anything else prepacked like caramel dip. Honestly its making me anxious 😅

      So you're saying that you think you should have severe intestinal damage since you've had the symptoms so long?   DGP IgG antibodies are produced in response to a partial gluten molecule.  This is different than what tissue transglutaminase antibodies are  produced in response to.   TTg IgA antibodies are produced in the intestines in response to gluten.  The tTg IgA antibodies attack our own cells because a structural component in our cell membranes resembles a part of gluten.  There's a correlation between the level of intestinal damage with the level of tTg antibodies produced.  You are not producing a high number of tTg IgA antibodies, so your level of tissue damage in your intestines is not very bad.  Be thankful.   There may be reasons why you are not producing a high quantity of tTg IgA antibodies.  Consuming ten grams or more of gluten a day for two weeks to two months before blood tests are done is required to get sufficient antibody production and damage to the intestines.  Some undiagnosed people tend to subconsciously avoid lots of gluten.  Cookies and cakes do not contain as much gluten as artisan breads and thick chewy pizza crust.  Anemia, diabetes and thiamine deficiency can affect IgA antibody production as well.   Do you carry genes for Celiac?  They frequently go along with EDS.
