Need Blood Thinner Substitute For Aspirin

Hi!

Does anyone have any info on an aspirin that does not have gluten? I have a history in my family of deep vein blodclots (a HUGE history) and I always carry aspirin with me just in case I get the symptoms. (It can be life-threatening.) Well, last night I went out with my best friend and sat at dinner in a very high chair with my legs crossed for about 4 hours. (And I know better than to do that!) (Yikes! Time flies!) When I stood up my lefty leg felt hard as a rock with bad pain in it and I knew it wasn't good. I have never felt that feeling before. This is how my mother felt when she had one that did move to her lungs. They did catch it and she's okay. So, anyway, it wouldn't go away and I was getting progressively nervous but fighting the notion of taking the aspirin to thin my blood but to also get "glutened". I took the aspirin. I'll probably have to speak with my doctor about this but just wondered if anyone knew anything about gluten-free aspirin? Thanks!

Hi Lisa--I use Bufferin. All types of Bufferin are gluten-free *except* for the 325 mg. size.

Patti,

Thank you! Do you know if the active ingredient of Bufferin is the same as aspirin? (I'm pulling a blank as to aspirin's working ingredient.) Thankyou.

Lisa--Yes, it is salicylic acid (aspirin) that is "buffered" to make it easier on the stomach. Here's a link for more info--just click on "more information after the Extra Strength--

You can also supplement with nattokinase, lumbrokinase, bromelain, or Rutozym. Check for gluten as I'm newly dxd and haven't checked mine yet. I think they're OK.

I believe ginkgo is also a blood thinner. My husband takes it because it gives him more vivid dreams at night. There is also another benefit for men taking it, it helps with certain "amorous" activities...

turmeric is a blood thinner as well, and has other great properties. You can get it via pills at the health food store. It takes while to build up, so it is not for acute issues; but it is good for taking for ongoing blood thinning.

Wait a minute - are you saying that asprin contains gluten? I had no idea. Is it just certain brands?

It can contain gluten it is always a good idea to call the manufacturor to check. I use St. Joesph's childrens chewables for my daily low dose asprin. I know that one is gluten-free and it tastes good. The suggestions for an asprin sub sound good, especially the tumeric one. I think I may try that instead but would rather use it in cooking. Wonder if I could get enough benefit that way, hmmm.

It is very beneficial to eat turmeric; however, as to anti-inflammatory and pain-killing and blood thinning qualitiesw, I don't think you could get enough and still have palatable food. The co-ops/health food stores sell supplements of turmernic.

My Ayurvedic doc says most spices thin the blood; but that food thickens the blood - that is how they balance one another out. Anyway, the active ingredient in turmeric (and cumin I think) that thins the blood is curcumidin (sp?).

Good luck.

p.s.. eating turmeric is also good for you, I'm quite sure. If you like Indian food, then you'll be getting a lot of this. Whenever I would cook Indian food, the whole meal would be the same turmeric color no matter how hard I tried otherwise. But yummy.

Tumeric is used in a concentrated pill (sometimes called Curcumin).

Also Fish oils thin the blood too and prevent inflammation. I'm taking Krill Oil, which is slightly different from other types of Fish oil.

There's been some problems found about aspirin and other NSAIDs and heart disease, so I try to keep off the NSAIDs.

This doctor has some interesting articles about non-NSAID supplements: Open Original Shared Link

      I might suggest you consider buckwheat groats. https://www.amazon.com/Anthonys-Organic-Hulled-Buckwheat-Groats/dp/B0D15QDVW7/ref=sr_1_4_pp?crid=GOFG11A8ZUMU&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.bk-hCrXgLpHqKS8QJnfKJLKbKzm2BS9tIFv3P9HjJ5swL1-02C3V819UZ845_kAwnxTUM8Qa69hKl0DfHAucO827k_rh7ZclIOPtAA9KjvEEYtaeUV06FJQyCoi5dwcfXRt8dx3cJ6ctEn2VIPaaFd0nOye2TkASgSRtdtKgvXEEXknFVYURBjXen...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that y...

      The one kind of food I had been buying and eating without any worry for hidden gluten were unprocessed veggies. Well, yesterday I discovered yet another pitfall: cultivated mushrooms. I tried some new ones, Shimeji to be precise (used in many asian soup and rice dishes). Later, at home, I was taking a closer look at the product: the mushrooms were growing from a visible layer of shredded cereals that had not been removed. After a quick web research I learned that these mushrooms are commonly cultivated on a cereal-based medium like wheat bran. I hope that info his helpful to someone.

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.
