My throat is killing me today and I think I might be getting a cold. Is Tylenol gluten-free? If it isn't, are there any brands that are gluten-free?

Thanks!

Tylenol Extra Strength Gelcaps and Caplets are gluten-free. :)

Most tylenol products are gluten-free.

Here's a really good resource/link for both OTC and prescription meds:

When you go to this page, they have a link to an alphabetically listing about halfway down the page.

I'm newly diagnosed and didn't even realize that some medicines had Gluton. Is there a list somewhere that has medicine I can't use. The list of Gluton Free is very long.

Thanks.

Unfortunately, that list would probably be even longer. Gluten will hide in a number of unsuspecting places, and in products you would never even imagine.

My best advice is suspect everything and read every label. Carry a cell phone to the store to call the manufacturer's while you are looking at the product if you have ANY doubt. I know it seems like a pain, but it beats the alternative. Plus you get to have some really cool conversations with customer service reps B)

John--was just noticing your signature--you seem to be very well versed in this considering you were just diagnosed! You're a very good resource for the rest of us. :)

Also, just curious what your colonoscopy showed. You say it was positive--for what? I have lymphocytic colitis that I believe is the large intestine version of celiac. I know celiac is defined as damage to the small intestine, but I think that gluten can attack either...if the damage is to the small intestine, it's celiac disease, if it's to the large intestine, it's LC. What do you think?

What do you think?

My colonoscopy turned up two polyps that tested to be benign( Thank God), and showed some minor inflamation that the doctor thought might be ulcerative colitis. Just saw my GI yesterday and he's not to concerned about the inflamation, being that the polyps were benign and being gluten free has already helped things out down there. He said things look good and unless I regress, he probably won't look again for another couple years at least.

I'm very inquisitive by nature, so I've spent all my time since being dx'd reading and learning all I can about celiacs and related conditions. Of course, it helps that I have a job that affords me the chance to surf the web all day for info B)

I just try to share what I can when it's relevant. I know how overwhelming this can be, thankfully I'm blessed with an awesome support network in family and friends. I know some people don't have that and feel very alone, and this forum is the only place they feel understood and trust.

As far as small intestine damage=celiacs, large intestine damage= LC, that's pretty much the way I understand it. Although the type and amount of large intestine damage can also be other types of colitis or other inflamation causing afflictions.

Thanks, hope you have a great day, now off to update my sig. ;)

Dear Everyone,

A word of caution on the Tylenol. The plain ones are okay. Watch out for the Rapid Release! They are not gluten free! Many people might assume all are safe. They are not!

Sincerely,

NoGluGirl

P.S. If anyone gets terrible sinus headaches, I have been taking the Member's Mark brand from Sam's Wholesale Club. They encourage you to call each time you get new ones. So far, they have really helped.

I have also learned that Tylenol can reek havoc on your liver if you over use. And not a good choice for those who drink libations.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D.

Incidentally, I don't like quinoa either. Reminds me and smells to me like wet grass seed. When its not washed before cooking it makes me ill because of saponins in the seed coat. Yes, it can be difficult to get much dietary calcium without dairy. But in many cases, it's not the amount of calcium in the diet that is the problem but the poor uptake of it. And too much calcium supplementation can interfere with the absorption of vitamins and minerals in general because it raises gut pH.

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.
