Hi I was just wondering if anyone knew if the Exact anti - nauseant tablets are gluten-free. I feel super sick ,I was like this since last night and this is all I could find in the house. The thing is I cant find a website for it to find out if its gluten-free . I felt sick ever since I ate the peanut butter cookies I made and I used was skippy pb. Does anyone use this brand? thanks

I have not heard of this brand, but I use Requa charcoal tabs whenever I make a goof. They work awesome! I know there are some other makers of these too...check with your pharmacist.

Some things to help nausea are peppermints.. like hard strong peppermint candy. Also my grandma always gave us a bi carb.. baking soda in water.. tastes bad but works well and I think baking soda is gluten free. Just hold your nose and drink it fast.

Another thing is ginger tea. When I was pregnant with my second child, OOFFDA... I did not want to hurt her so I took no meds.. Go to a good store with a large produce section and either buy ginger in the root form or diced and in a jar already, its near the garlic cloves (both kinds) in my store.. Dont get the powdered spice, whole other beast that is.

Put 8 oz of water in a saucepan and either a small whole peice of ginger (dont have to peel or chop) about 1/2 tsp worth.. or the cut up stuff, half a tsp. Gently simmer for at least 2 mins, the longer you simmer, the stronger it gets. Remove the hunk or strain out the diced peices, add sugar or honey or milk, however you like tea and drink. You can also buy peppermint tea and add your own ginger, very effective at reducing nausea. They may have ginger tea already in a bag too, to tell you the truth, I dont like tea much so...

Some people swear by plain ol hot water.. drinking a cup of it...

Of course the very best effective anti nausea drug is injectable Vit B but since no one wants to inject themselves and the only type available is for live stock, thats not an option. You could try oral, vit b complex....

I use Skippy pb with no problem. I have called the manufacturer and it is gluten-free. Must have been something else!

If you're not a tea drinker like myself, you can always chew or suck on crystalized ginger. Works wonders for me!

:) My doctor prescribed Tigan for me when I get nauseated. That really works great for me. I do also suck on Peppermint candies, take Peppermint capsules and drink the Peppermint tea. I know it sounds like overkill, but I can't stand to feel this way.

Good Luck!!

I drink gluten-free peppermint tea or Pepto Bismol.

Also I have an Rx for NuLev if the pain/spasms get bad.

      Ibuprofen

      Hi Colleen Are you supplementing B12/having injections? I have learned recently that sometimes when you start addressing a B12 deficiency, it can temporarily make your symptoms worse.  But it is important not to stop the treatment.  Regarding your problems with anxiety, again that is another symptom of a B12 deficiency.   I didn't know what anxiety was until it hit me like a train several months before gastrointestinal issues began, so I can certainly relate.   Two books which helped me hugely were At Last A Life by Paul David (there is a website you can look up) and The Depression Cure: The Six-Step Programme to Beat Depression Without Drugs by Dr Steve Llardi.  Although his book is aimed at people who have depression, following the principals he sets out was so helpful in lessening my anxiety.  Llardi suggests we need to focus on getting enough: - physical exercise - omega-3 fatty acids - natural sunlight exposure - restorative sleep - social connectedness - meaningful, engaging activity   ... and we should feel a lot better. That is not to stay you must stop taking medication for depression or anxiety if you have been prescribed it, but adopting the changes Dr Llardi sets out in the book should really help. Can I just ask two more questions:  1) you say that you are B12 deficient, did they test your iron levels too?  If not, you really ought to be checked for deficiency and, 2) did they check your thyroid function, as an overactive thyroid can be cause rapid heartbeat and a lot of coeliacs have thyroid issues?

      My only proof

      Hello still dancing around my celiac disease and not getting medically backed up considering Ive been glutenfree since 1994.All my ailments are the core issue of my ghost disease aka celiac disease. Im angery because the "celiac specialist " basically lightly dismissed me.Im extremely angery and fighting for a new primary care physician which is hard to do in Northern Cali.So currently without and looking.Im angery that its lightly taken when its extremely serious to the one who has it.My only evidence is a brochure back in the days when I got news letters when I lived at my parents.It was published in 1998.I was diagnosed before any foods eliminated from my diet. Angery doctors don't take seriously when Im clearly speaking.I did write to the medicine of congress and have case number.

      still struggling with cravings

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I totally get this. It's absolutely a grieving process, and it's okay to feel gutted about the loss of those simple joys, especially at 18. Your feelings are completely valid—it's not about being ungrateful for your amazing boyfriend, it's about mourning the life you thought you'd have. That "tortured by the smell" feeling is so real. It does get easier, I promise, but it's okay to sit in the sadness and just vent about how much it stings right now. Thanks for sharing that. Celiac.com has published a book on our site by Jean Duane PhD called Gluten-Centric Culture, which covers many of the social aspects of having celiac disease: This chapter in particular covers issues around eating with family and others - Gluten-Centric Culture: Chapter 5 - Grabbing A Bite Together:

      Oh my goodness medication causing pain !!!!

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Many of us with celiac find that the fillers in medications can cause a reaction, and sometimes our bodies just process things weirdly. That "rebound muscle pain" and "burning feet" you described sounds awful and is a huge red flag. It's frustrating enough managing the diet without medication causing setbacks. So sorry you're dealing with this, but you're definitely on the right track by connecting the dots. You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's so tough when you're doing everything right and still get hit with it. I'm glad you're figuring out a system that works for you—the peppermint tea and rehydration powders are smart moves. It sounds like you've really learned to listen to your body, and that's half the battle. Sticking to simple, safe food at home is the best way to build yourself back up. It's great you can take the time to rest properly. Thanks for sharing what works; it's a big help to others figuring this out too. This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:
