I am having headaches. I keep double checking to make certain I am not getting gluten. :angry: I need a pregnancy safe gluten free medicin I can take before my head explodes. The headaches are being caused by hormone changes. After the triplets dies my hormones have been takeing a dramatic drop and two months later I am pregnant AGAIN. :lol::lol::lol: My doctors nurse has lectured me on common sense. <_< .Oh well.

Isn't Tylenol gluten-free? Don't take aspirin when you're pregnant.

Congratulations! I don't see any lapse in common sense myself!! Just stay gluten-free and eat healthy. Have they checked your progesterone levels? I had a friend who couldn't carry a baby to term without them supplementing her progesterone for the first few months.

Congradulations!!! Both times I was pregnent I told I could only take the normal does of tylonal. I donno if that brand is gluten free or if any others are. You could see abaout a generic and allot of people make a generic.

You can take Tylenol. Are you sure you are eating enough? It took me a while to realize that eating got rid of my headaches. I thought I was eating enough but I had to eat more and then went away.

Along with not eating enough, dehydration can cause headaches too, so make sure you are getting enough liquids.

Good luck with your pregnancy and take it easy, and don't forget pamper yourself, you deserve it.

Normal tylenol from what I know has gluten but childrens meltaways dont. They are expensive if you have to take them too often.

Regular Tylenol GelCaps and caplets are gluten-free.

Tylenol is gluten-free and safe for pregnancy (at least here in the US it is gluten-free) - it is on all the gluten free lists. You aren't supposed to take Advil/Ibuprophen or Asprin when pregnant. Could also be caused by caffein withdrawal (if you've recently given up caffein while pregnant - I think that's my problem).

      I don't see how cornstarch could alter the test results. Where did you read that?

      For pain relief I take a combination of Thiamine (Benfotiamine), Pyridoxine B 6, and Cobalamine B12.  The combination of these three vitamins has analgesic effects.  I have back pain and this really works.  The B vitamins are water soluble and easily excreted.   Hope this helps!  Keep us posted on your results!

      Welcome to the forum, @Xravith. I experienced similar symptoms before my diagnosis.  Mine were due to the loss of vitamins and minerals, essential nutrients we must get from our food.  With Celiac Disease, the intestinal lining, made up of thousands of villi, gets damaged and cannot absorb essential vitamins and minerals, especially the eight B vitamins.  The loss of Thiamine B 1 can cause muscle loss, inability to gain weight, edema (swelling), fatigue, migraines and palpitations.  Low thiamine can cause Gastrointestinal Beriberi with symptoms of nausea, abdominal pain and bloating.   Thiamine is only stored for a couple of weeks, so if you don't absorb enough from food daily, as the thiamine deficiency worsens physical symptoms gradually worsen.  If you're eating lots of carbs (like gluten containing foods usually do), you need more thiamine to process them (called high calorie malnutrition).  Thiamine works with all the other B vitamins, so if you're low in one, you're probably getting low in the others, too, and minerals like iron, magnesium, zinc, and calcium, as well as Vitamin D..  Talk to your doctor about checking for nutritional deficiencies.  Most doctors rarely recognize vitamin deficiency symptoms, especially in thiamine. Get a DNA test to see if you carry any Celiac genes.  If you do not have genetic markers for Celiac, it's probably IBS.  If you do have genetic markers for Celiac, it's probably Celiac.  I was misdiagnosed with IBS for years before my Celiac diagnosis.   Keep us posted on your progress. P. S. Deficiency in thiamine can cause false negatives on antibody tests, as can diabetes and anemia.

      No she didn't because if I want to ask I have to pay 700$ for 1 hour appointment so I couldn't even ask. I read that fillers like cornstash can alter the result and tylenol contains it so that's why I tried to find someone who can answer.

      Did the GI doc give you any rational for stopping the Tylenol during the gluten challenge? I have never heard of this before and I can't imagine a good reason for it. Ibuprofen, maybe, because it is an anti inflammatory but acetaminophen?  I don't see that it would have any impact on the test results to take Tylenol.
