We are going to Disney for a family trip and I want to make sure I have all my bases covered. Am I right that Immodum caplets, Gas-X and advil are gluten-free. I am a little nervous about the plane ride due to off and on weird stomach issues, sometimes you just can't conrol when you have to go!

Thanks for the help!

I do believe that those are gluten free. Others will update you if they truly are. That is just not my area of knowledge.

We just got back from Disney. Let me tell you. They are the most accomodating place on earth I think for celiacs. At every place in every park, you are basically able to get gluten free food. Either pizzas or hamburgers and hot dogs, they have rolls that are gluten free too. If you run into any problems at any place, just ask for the manager. They seem to be always knowledgable about celiacs. They have to be on all their food for all kinds of allergies! The one place that the cashier was rather rude to me about it, I went to guest relations about it, my son ate for free, they offered to feed me and my entire family for free.

It was great. You can order a cake from the Grand Floridian, the Polyenisan or any resort that has their own bakery on site and they will deliver it to where you designate.

We didnt stay on site as we bought a vacation home down there and that didnt seem to matter , they will still make the cake!

Have a great trip. You will be in celiac heaven!! :)

According to this site:

Open Original Shared Link

Immodium and Advil is on the list. So is Pepto Bismol. I'm having trouble locating Maalox, Gas-X and Mylicon, though I'm sure I've seen Mylicon on another list. It better be there, it's my only source for gas relief. :(

Okay, a follow up on Mylicon - one of the inactive ingredients is maltitol, which appears to be made from barley malt. Fortunately, the generic form (Target Infant Gas Relief Simethicone Drops) does not.

I know for sure that Immodium Caplets are gluten-free--I use them often! For gas, I use Phazyme Soft Gels. The soft gels are safe--the other form (soft chews?) is not. I can't take Advil, so I'm no help there :)

Maalox is NOT gluten-free. I don't know what the gluten-containing ingredient is, but I've got a giant YES/NO list of brands I read about on this message board, and it's in the NO column.

ONLY gas-x soft gels are gluten free. Their others are not.

I had a truly awful experience once with Gas-X Chewables. Not good. Not good at all.

I learned the hard way also - Gas-X Chewables are NOT gluten free - only the softgels......

Have fun!

      Thank you for the kind words!

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      The rate of damage to the villous lining of the SB and the corresponding loss of nutrient absorbing efficiency varies tremendously from celiac to celiac. Yes, probably is dose dependent if, by dose dependent you mean the amount of exposure to gluten. But damage rates and level of sensitivity also seem to depend on the genetic profile. Those with both genes...

      Have Tru Joy Sweets Choco Chews been discontinued??

      Help! My 5 year old daughter just stopped eating dairy and gluten due to her EoE and Celiac. Her favorite candy in the world is tootsie rolls. I did some research, and it sounds like these are the only options for finding something similar, but I can't find them anywhere to actually purchase. Have they been discontinued?? Does anyone have another recommendation...

      Thank you for the kind words! I keep thinking that things in the medical community are improving, but a shocking number of people still post here who have already discovered gluten is their issue, and their doctors ordered a blood test and/or endoscopy for celiac disease, yet never mentioned that the protocol for such screening requires them to be eating gluten daily for weeks beforehand. Many have already gone gluten-free during their pre-screening period, thus their test results end up false negative, leaving them confused and sometimes untreated. It is sad that so few doctors attended your workshops, but it doesn't surprise me. It seems like the protocols for any type of screening should just pop up on their computer screens whenever any type of medical test is ordered, not just for celiac disease--such basic technological solutions could actually educate those in the medical community over time.

      The rate of damage to the villous lining of the SB and the corresponding loss of nutrient absorbing efficiency varies tremendously from celiac to celiac. Yes, probably is dose dependent if, by dose dependent you mean the amount of exposure to gluten. But damage rates and level of sensitivity also seem to depend on the genetic profile. Those with both genes HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8 seem to be more sensitive to minor amounts of gluten exposure than those with just one of those genes and those with only DQ2 seem to be more sensitive than those with only DQ8. But there are probably many factors that influence the damage rate to the villi as well as intensity of reaction to exposure. There is still a lot we don't know. One of the gray areas is in regard to those who are "silent" celiacs, i.e. those who seem to be asymptomatic or whose symptoms are so minor that they don't garner attention. When they get a small exposure (such as happens in cross contamination) and have no symptoms does that equate to no inflammation? We don't necessarily know. The "sensitive" celiac knows without a doubt, however, when they get exposure from cross contamination and the helps them know better what food products to avoid.
