- Scott Adams replied to Grahamsnaturalworld's topic in Related Issues & Disorders2Refractory celiac disease
It’s incredibly frustrating when specialists don’t grasp the urgency of worsening symptoms, especially when neurological involvement is at play. For refractory celiac disease (RCD) diagnosis in Adelaide, your best bet is to seek out a gastroenterologist with specific expertise in complex celiac cases. Consider reaching out to: The Royal Adelaide Hos... -

New to gluten-free
Welcome to the gluten-free lifestyle! It’s great to hear that eliminating gluten has already helped with your fibromyalgia symptoms—that’s a huge win in just three weeks. Mistakes happen (especially when traveling!), so don’t be too hard on yourself. Each slip-up is a learning experience. The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is ... -

gluten-free stool softener needed for after surgery
If you're looking for a gluten-free stool softener for post-surgery use, Docusate Sodium (Colace) is a widely recommended option, and many of its formulations are gluten-free. The Colace Clear Gel Liquid version is often considered safe for celiac patients, but since labeling practices vary, it’s best to verify with the manufacturer (some pharmacies can a... -

Welcome to the gluten-free lifestyle! It’s great to hear that eliminating gluten has already helped with your fibromyalgia symptoms—that’s a huge win in just three weeks. Mistakes happen (especially when traveling!), so don’t be too hard on yourself. Each slip-up is a learning experience. The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat. -

If you're looking for a gluten-free stool softener for post-surgery use, Docusate Sodium (Colace) is a widely recommended option, and many of its formulations are gluten-free. The Colace Clear Gel Liquid version is often considered safe for celiac patients, but since labeling practices vary, it’s best to verify with the manufacturer (some pharmacies can also check ingredient databases). Another reliable choice is Phillips’ Stool Softener (Docusate Calcium), which is typically gluten-free—just double-check the packaging for any allergen warnings. While MiraLAX (PEG 3350) is technically a laxative rather than a softener, it’s gentle, gluten-free, and commonly recommended by surgeons alongside opioids due to its effectiveness. For extra assurance, you could consult your pharmacist or reach out to the product’s customer service to confirm gluten-free status before purchasing. -

Sorry to hear that you got glutened! Thanks for sharing, and I hope the GliadinX saved you more misery with some of your other meals.
