Nasal Spray

Hi!  My son has celiacs and I am always learning.  This week he got a cold and I grabbed XClear Rescue off the shelves.  I didn’t realize it has “Oat Beta Glucan” in it, which is not gluten free.  He was spraying constantly and got a horrible headache in his sinus cavities as well as constant vomiting.  I just wanted everyone to know in case you went to grab this spray as well!

Are you saying it's not gluten free because of the oats that the beta glucan is made from may be cross-contaminated with wheat, barley or rye? Apart from that, oats themselves do not contain gluten and the term "glucan" should not be confused with gluten.

I have emailed them to figure out why, but it could be either of those things! But I dont think that the oats are certified gluten-free that the glucan is made from

There are a number of odd ingredients in that product that might cause the symptoms you describe in individuals, especially if your son is using it constantly as you say. I wouldn't necessarily jump to the conclusion that is the oat beta glucan that is the culprit.

Oh!  I am really new to this space, so any information would be helpful.  Are you saying that other ones could contain gluten or that other ingredients in there are just generally not good?

trents Grand Master

Yes, the other ingredients could contain gluten because of cross contamination from possibly being processed on the same equipment that is being used for gluten containing grains or being grown, stored or transported in regions where gluten grains are also a part of the economy. But I am also saying that some of those other ingredients found in the product may be causing his headaches and nausea apart from gluten cross contamination issues. It's not that any of them are "not good" but your son's unique body chemistry just doesn't jive well with something in there that may not cause most people any problem. For example, I may be intolerant of egg protein but it's not a problem for most people. And there are things that I can eat in moderation or occasionally but if I eat too much of them or too often they give me an upset tummy or a migraine.

Does arm and hammer simply saline have gluten or lactose?

      You had the wrong link to the menu, so I fixed that for you 😉. Trying to eat gluten-free at Chili's is risky due to cross-contamination, even if you go with items marked gluten-free on their menu. Every person with celiac disease has a different level of sensitivity, and you've not mentioned anything about your situation in that regard. Whenever I eat out I take GliadinX (a sponsor here), but of course, the best option would be to avoid eating out.

      She has had problems with constipation, they actually prescribed miralax for her but I have changed some other things about her diet that seemed to have helped, so I never gave it to her..but she still doesn’t always go daily

      @Nicbent35, are there any other symptoms besides altered mood when your daughter gets "glutened"? Behavior like that in children often belies physical discomfort of some kind. Does she complain of stomach aches? Is she constipated?
    • Nicbent35
      Well I had a moment yesterday morning where I accidentally gave her gluten. She wanted what I was eating and I forgot and let her have a few bites of toast. It was a really bad night last night with her behavior. Will a few bites of bread influence their behavior that much or could it just be a coincidence?

      Hi everyone, I'm exploring gluten-free options at various restaurants and recently came across some chatter about Chili's offering gluten-free dishes. I'm curious if anyone has tried their gluten-free options or has any insights into how safe and tasty they are. Questions to Discuss: Which dishes at Chili's are truly gluten-free? Have you experienced any issues with cross-contamination? Do you have any tips or recommendations when ordering from Chili's menu? How does the taste and portion size compare to other gluten-free restaurants? Looking forward to hearing your experiences and any advice you might have! Thanks,
