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.

      Welcome to the forum, @SuzanneL! Which tTG was that? tTG-IGA? tTG-IGG? Were there other celiac antibody tests run from that blood draw? Was total IGA measured? By some chance were you already cutting back on gluten by the time the blood draw was taken or just not eating much? For the celiac antibody tests to be accurate a person needs to be eating about 10g of gluten daily which is about 4-6 pieces of bread.

      I've recently received a weak positive tTG, 6. For about six years, I've been sick almost everyday. I was told it was just my IBS. I have constant nausea. Sometimes after I eat, I have sharp, upper pain in my abdomen. I sometimes feel or vomit (bile) after eating. The doctor wanted me to try a stronger anti acid before doing an endoscopy. I'm just curious if these symptoms are pointing towards Celiac Disease?

      I'm sorry to hear about what you're going through. It must be really frustrating and uncomfortable. Have you talked to your healthcare provider about these sudden sweating episodes? It might be helpful to discuss this with them to rule out any other underlying issues or to see if there are specific strategies or treatments that can help manage this symptom. Additionally, staying hydrated and wearing breathable clothing may provide some relief.
