Hydrocodone, Oxycodone

If its not one of these 2 medications I dont know what it would be. I was up all last night until about 2 am running to and from the bathroom with D. It was awful. I havent felt like that, or had that in quite a few months. I didnt really eat anything yesteray, and it felt like gluten was the culprit for me. I also found out that one of the medications they want you to stay away from is hydrocodone when you are taking Pamalor. Well guess what I take? yup Pamalor. And no doctor or Pharmacist noticed. I only noticed b/c I got so sick. Any help?

Both of those drugs can cause a sensitive stomach to go into a tailspin. I've only had oxycodone once and it made me feel SSSOOOOOOOOOOOO sick that I'll never take it again. Hydrocodone used to make me a little nauseous (kind of like being glutened), but it doesn't anymore. It may just be a non-gluten reaction.

Are you thinking the tablet contained wheat starch? Or that the D was a side effect? I double check in my PDR and the Hydrocodone causes (or can cause) N&V but it does not say D. But it will increase the effect of the MAO inhibitors and tricyclic antidepressants (like Pamalor). Did you have vomiting? Or just D? It might have been the combo of the two meds. Many people get upset stomachs with narcotics, so that is not uncommon. Perhaps the Pamalor amplified the effect? I hope you are feeling better! And you should call your pharmacist and ask about the reaction if you will be on the meds for a while.

You said you didn't eat much, but these are some pretty strong drugs. maybe it's taking them without food that is bothering you????? Hope you feel better soon.

      Thank you Scott for your helpful response! Based on this, would you say someone who is on a gluten-free diet - but not strict about cross-contamination and occasional cheating - and tests negative for tTg-IgA while having normal total IgA is not likely to have celiac, even if they have been 'gluten-free' for years?

      That’s a really insightful observation about antibody testing and the gluten challenge! You’re absolutely right that antibody levels can remain elevated for months or even years after going gluten-free, especially if there’s ongoing cross-contamination or occasional slip-ups. The immune system doesn’t reset overnight—it can take time for antibodies like tTG-IgA to normalize, which is why many doctors recommend waiting at least 6–12 months of strict gluten-free eating before retesting. For someone who’s been gluten-free for less than two years or hasn’t been meticulous about avoiding cross-contact, there’s absolutely a chance they’d still test positive, since even small amounts of gluten can keep antibodies elevated. This is partly why the gluten challenge (where you eat gluten before testing) exists—it’s designed to provoke a measurable immune response in people who’ve been gluten-free long enough for antibodies to drop. But you raise a great point: the challenge isn’t perfect, and false negatives can happen if the timing or amount of gluten isn’t sufficient to trigger a strong antibody response. This is why diagnosis often combines antibody tests with other tools like genetic testing or endoscopy. Your question highlights just how nuanced celiac testing can be! For people with celiac disease hidden gluten in their diets is the main cause of elevated Tissue Transglutaminase IgA Antibodies (tTG-IgA), but there are other conditions, including cow's milk/casein intolerance, that can also cause this, and here is an article about the other possible causes:

      Thank you for your response! I have considered starting a food diary in the past, I suppose this is as good a time as any to start.

      I don't have health insurance so I have never had any testing done. I always thought if I stay away from gluten Ill be fine but I suppose that isn't enough anymore. I will look into getting an allergy test. Thank you for your input!

      I remember reading an article summarizing testing done by Gluten Free Watchdog on several brands of dried lentils. They were all heavily cross contaminated with wheat and the commentary was to the effect that dried lentils in general were the most heavily cross contaminated product category in their testing data base. So, I would definitely not use any dried lentil product that was not tested to be Gluten Free (<20ppm of gluten) or Certified Gluten Free (<10ppm of gluten).
