Hello

i am in maui on the last night of my honeymoon. i have yet to knowlign be glutened as i dont eat at restaurants and our house is gluten-free. tonight we had strawberries covere din chocolate brought ot the room. we called dowon and they said there was no gluten in the chocolat sauce so i ate one strawberry. two minutes later we got a call saying there in fact was wheat listed on teh ingredient list. i have to travel tommorow night for more than 14 hours and i am just terrified now that i will be really sick. i know ppl sometimes get delayed reactiosn and im scared mine will hit on the plane. i already have major problems flying so i dont know what i will do. i havent even eaten otu once on this trip becaue im so anal about being gluten free but i took a chance and now im screwed.......

anyone have any good advice/thoughts....

thanks

Jess

I am sorry you got glutened last night. You never know, it was a tiny amount. It is impossible to say if you had your reaction, or if it will get worse. I wished I'd know. I find those reactions are so totally unpredictable, you never know what will happen from one glutening to another.

I really hope you'll be fine on your flight.

Jess--you poor little thing :(

I'm sorry your post got temporarily lost, and by now you're on your way home. I hope that you didn't get any sicker--I would have done what you did anyway. Take whatever you need to to get home. I would have been popping Immodium!

Let us know how you made out--then all about the wedding :D

thanks guys. havent left just yet. we have 5 hours left in the hotel until we leave. they extended our check out time because of what happened. i feel sort of weird- nauseous and bloated stomach but not super ill as most people describe when they eat gluten. im hoping last nights bad bout of nausea is my reaction and that i wont be majorly sick in the next 24 hours. i dont get back until 5pm thursday night. i'm going to try my best to stay positive, think about seeing my puppy who i miss so much and hopefully get through this easily!! i hate gluten!! who puts wheat in chocolate sauce anyways??!!

thanks carla! im sort of embarrased that i didnt eat out but im just scared to do it. i brought a hot pot, and they gave me a fridge and amicrowave. i brought pasta, bread and snacks adn then went to the local health store and bought cheese, tomatoe sauce, more bread, veggies etc.... we had this room where we could go and get free happy hour and breakfast so i would take fruits and veggies from there as well. i used the hotpot to make pasta, rice quinoa etc... and had sandwiches for lunch. i took a chance by eating the strawberries- something iw ouldnt normally do but they were sent up as a gift with a bottle of champagne.....

i'm not sure if hte symptoms i had are it- im scared ill get a big reaction in the next 24 hours :(

Sometimes I work myself up to a horrible state when I know I've had gluten. Just try and relax, have medicine nearby, and try not to worry. I usually only get the gas and bloat when I get glutened...which I am suffering through right now (see my post)...so I feel your pain :)

Hope the flight goes well!!!

hey jess,

did you take immodiums or anything to stop/prevent D? if so, that might give you C.

I hope you feel better soon.

And yes, your picture is beautiful-I can't wait to see more.

Constipation can be terrible. I've only had it once. On vacation too. I used exlax. It really helped but took 24 hours. The pain was excruciatng. Hang in there, this too shall pass. : ) no pun intended.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Clearly from what you've said the info on Dailymed is much more up to date than the other site, which hasn't been updated since 2017. The fact that some companies might be repackaging drugs does not mean the info on the ingredients is not correct.

      Waiting Gastroenterology review

      To evaluate the TTG antibody result we’d need to know the normal range for that lab.  Labs don’t all use the same units.  However, based on any normal ranges that I’ve seen and the listed result being greater than a number rather than a specific number, I’d say yes, that is high! Higher than the range where the test can give a quantitative result. You got good advice not to change your diet yet.  If you went gluten free your intestines would start to heal, confusing any further testing,

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Bev in Milw · Posted

      Scott is correct….Thank you for catching that!      Direct link for info  of fillers.    http://www.glutenfreedrugs.com/Excipients.htm Link is on 2nd page  of www.glutenfreedrugs.com   Site was started by a pharmacist (or 2) maybe 15-20 yrs ago with LAST updated in  2017.  This makes it’s Drug List so old that it’s no longer relevant. Companies & contacts, along with suppliers &  sources would need to be referenced, same amount effort  as starting with current data on DailyMed      That being said, Excipient List is still be relevant since major changes to product labeling occurred prior ’17.           List is the dictionary that sources the ‘foreign-to-us’ terms used on pharmaceutical labels, terms we need to rule out gluten.    Note on DailyMed INFO— When you look for a specific drug on DailyMed, notice that nearly all of companies (brands/labels) are flagged as a ‘Repackager’… This would seem to suggest the actual ‘pills’ are being mass produced by a limited number of wholesaler suppliers (esp for older meds out of  patent protection.).      If so, multiple repackager-get  bulk shipments  from same supplier will all  be selling identical meds —same formula/fillers. Others repackager-could be switching suppliers  frequently based on cost, or runs both gluten-free & non- items on same lines.  No way to know  without contacting company.     While some I know have  searched pharmacies chasing a specific brand, long-term  solution is to find (or teach) pharmacy staff who’s willing help.    When I got 1st Rx ~8 years ago, I went to Walgreens & said I needed gluten-free.  Walked  out when pharmacist said  ‘How am I supposed  to know…’  (ar least he as honest… ). Walmart pharmacists down the block were ‘No problem!’—Once, they wouldn’t release my Rx, still waiting on gluten-free status from a new supplier. Re: Timeliness of DailyMed info?   A serendipitous conversation with cousin in Mi was unexpectedly reassuring.  She works in office of Perrigo, major products of OTC meds (was 1st to add gluten-free labels).  I TOTALLY lucked out when I asked about her job: “TODAY I trained a new full-time employee to make entries to Daily Med.’  Task had grown to hours a day, time she needed for tasks that couldn’t be delegated….We can only hope majorities of companies are as  conscientious!   For the Newbies…. SOLE  purpose of  fillers (possible gluten) in meds is to  hold the active ingredients together in a doseable form.  Drugs  given by injection or as IV are always gluten-free!  (Sometimes drs can do antibiotics w/ one-time injection rather than 7-10 days of  pills .) Liquid meds (typically for kids)—still read labels, but  could be an a simpler option for some products…

      Food Allergies

      By Ginger38 · Posted

      So I recently had allergy testing for IGE antibodies in response to foods. My test results came back positive to corn, white potatoes, egg whites. Tomatoes, almonds and peanuts to name a few.  I have had obvious reactions to a few of these - particularly tomatoes and corn- both GI issues. I don’t really understand all this allergy versus celiac stuff. If the food allergies are mild do I have to avoid these foods entirely? I don’t know what I will eat if I can’t  have corn based gluten free products

      7yo struggling!

      By JForman · Posted

      We have four children (7-14 yo), and our 7 year old was diagnosed with NCGS (though all Celiac labs were positive, her scope at 4 years old was negative so docs in the US won't call it celiac). We have started her on a Gluten Free diet after 3 years of major digestive issues and ruling out just about everything under the sun. Our home and kitchen and myself are all gluten-free. But I have not asked my husband/her dad or her other siblings to go completely gluten-free with us. They are at home, but not out of the home. This has led to situations when we are eating out where she has to consistently see others eating things she can't have and she has begun to say "Well, I can't have <fill in the blank>...stupid gluten."  How have you supported your gluten-free kiddos in the mental health space of this journey, especially young ones like her. I know it's hard for me as an adult sometimes to miss out, so I can't imagine being 7 and dealing with it! Any tips or ideas to help with this?
