I've been using rolaids because I was told they were gluten-free, then picked up a book with some info on celiac disease which said they are not gluten-free, so I emailed them, they wrote back saying they cannot guarantee there is no gluten in them EEERRRR

what do you guys use? tums are a no no too, right?

thanks

I use the regular Rolaids and am fine. I also use Pepcid AC. (Which will also say "we don't put gluten in it, but can't guarantee the suppliers...."), It's just a CYA thing. But do NOT get "fast melts or chews", those DO have gluten.

My doctor advises the use of Gaviscon instead of Rolaids, as part of the Rolaids working process can cause the runs. Gaviscon is gluten free.

I have been using Zantac 75 and it works great. It doesn't help with gas, though. You can take the Gas-X gel caps, but not the chewables.

Good luck!

Woah... I thought regular TUMS were safe? Anyone know for sure?

TUms and rolaids make my heartburn worse. I don't know why, but they don't help at all! I have been taking Prilosec again.

I read somewhere that Orange peel extract can cure heartburn. Bought some today and I am taking it, but it was $30.00 for a box of 10 and they recommend 1000mg a day for 20 days. It has a patent on it.

I am not very hopeful though, because nothing works it seems. I will let you know if it is my miracle cure.

All the Rx meds make it worse for me, baking soda helps and I started on DGL again

Tums are NOT guarenteed to be gluten-free. I would stop taking them.

      2 months in... struggling with symptoms

      By aperlo34 · Posted

      @cristiana Yes - just to add to this: my ferritin went down after my first 2 infusions (which were 8 months ago), so I got more infusions a couple of weeks ago. From those alone, I'm feeling better. It's a work in progress! Be patient! I was also taking iron supplements the entire time.

      2 months in... struggling with symptoms

      By cristiana · Posted

      @OlafAndvarafors  I just wanted to reassure you that I had these same issues for a while before and after diagnosis but they did settle.  I think the deficiencies and anxiety that are very common in undiagnosed/newly diagnosed coeliacs are a perfect mix for twitching!  I cannot say exactly how long you will experience this but my feeling that once you are properly diagnosed and it is found to be that gluten is an issue, get your vitamin/mineral levels assessed and if they are low/low normal, don't hesitate to supplement until the levels normalise.   I was Iron anaemic, and low normal with B12.   Once my levels of iron were normal, and B12 nearer 500, my symptoms reduced greatly, and I found magnesium helped A LOT with twitching face muscles in particular.  However - word of caution with iron: if you do need to supplement, have regular blood tests to check levels as too much iron can be dangerous.

      a deficiency in thiamine (vitamin B1) can contribute to muscle twitching, especially in more severe cases of thiamine deficiency. Thiamine is crucial for nerve function and energy production, and its deficiency can disrupt muscle contraction and nerve signals.  Lots of Thiamine a day, several hundred mg, to reverse thiamine deficiency.  The usual dose for adults is between 25mg and 100mg, taken once a day. Severe thiamine deficiency The usual dose for adults is 100mg, taken 2 or 3 times a day.

      Progesterone pills - are they gluten free??

      By Ccoast Celiac · Posted

      Hi @Mettedkny I’ve had the same problem with Xiromed Progesterone 100 Caps. I’m very careful about gluten and only have had gluten “gut issues” since starting these. I previously had another brand, and no problems. So, even if Xiromed says “gluten free” perhaps in the manufacturing process there is gluten cross-contamination. I’m already requesting a different manufacturer to see if there is improvement.

      To kiss or not to kiss: Can gluten pass through a smooch?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I thought I'd share this article about recent findings that not enough gluten is transmitted during kissing to be concerned about: https://www.eurekalert.org/news-releases/1082120  What do you think?
