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!

      need help understanding testing result for Naked Nutrition Creatine please

      Hi, I bought Naked Nutrition Creatine. It lists itself as gluten free but is not certified. (It used to be, but they dropped it in the past year or two apparently.) I wrote the company and asked them what testing results they had for creatine and they sent me the attached, which says the test result for gluten is <0.025MCG. I'm used to seeing...

      When I was still recovering my gastroenterologist suggested I bought lactofree product as I was very bloated. So I bought some from the supermarket and from memory, I drank a nice big glass of milk - and it went right through me literally within an hour or so, if my memory serves correctly. I came off dairy completely next and it worked like a charm...

I wrote the company and asked them what testing results they had for creatine and they sent me the attached, which says the test result for gluten is <0.025MCG. I'm used to seeing test results as ppm, so I'm not sure what <0.025MCG means. Can it be converted to ppm easily? I want to confirm that it is safe to use.

      When I was still recovering my gastroenterologist suggested I bought lactofree product as I was very bloated.  So I bought some from the supermarket and from memory, I drank a nice big glass of milk - and it went right through me literally within an hour or so, if my memory serves correctly.  I came off dairy completely next and it worked like a charm, but started to reintroduce quite gradually it as I missed it! To this day, if I overdo dairy products, they work like a mild laxative.  I've never wanted to give up milk completely as I like it so much, and my mum had osteoporosis and it's an easy way of getting calcium.  But it doesn't really 'sit' well with me.   You may need to experiment a bit as when I was healing certain dairy products were worse than others - I could cope with one brand of Greek yoghurt, but I got extremely and painfully bloated with another brand of live British yoghurt.

      i have been strictly gluten free for 7 months. this includes avoiding anything that may contain gluten and making sure surfaces and appliances are clean. i am 18 years old in australia and my tTG-IgA results were 69U/mL, pretty low compared to most people's, for reference. i feel the exact same as before. sure, i was pretty much asymptomatic/silent. the worst i'd get was occasionally bad stools and pitting of the nails/brittle hair since early childhood - and i was diagnosed with low iron and vitamin d which checks out due to easy bruising and such. but those symptoms have remained. maybe i'm jumping the gun, sure. i know it can take years to fully heal. but being over half a year in, i feel that i should be, y'know, healing. i'm nearly at my wits end and wondering if i should have a piece of bread or something to see how i go - to see if i possibly have refractory? my mental health is declining as i feel myself wanting to bang my head against a damn wall out of frustration every day. cravings haven't gotten better. look, i love the stuff i still can have, like salads and such. OH! i haven't lost any weight, which is mind boggling considering i eat very healthily now! i've always been on the chubbier side which is atypical of coeliac. i just don't know what's going on with me. i try to remain hopeful but i'm just so sad all the time. thanks for reading

If you must use a PPI, I certainly would advise taking the lowest dose that is effective for you.
