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:

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!

      Thankyou so much for your words.Its a hard battle when a supposed well known hospital whose celiac " specialist " has down played me because my colon looks fine and put it in my medical and so pcp doesn't take seriously. In their eyes we all carry that gene.Im having alot of bad days trying to be positive because of it.

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.
