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!

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?

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.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.
