HI CAN ANYBODY HELP PLEASE??

I AM LOOKING TO MAKE A SAFE MEDICATIONS LIST FOR MYSELF AND MY DAUGHTERS DOCTOR AND FOR "ICE". .. MANY OF THE PARMACOLOGICAL COMPANIES WILL NOT GIVE ME THE INFORMATION. THEY SAY THE DOCTOR HAS TO CALL TO GET IT.. I THINK THAT IS A LOAD OF BALONEY.. WE NEED THIS INFORMATION.

I AM SORRY, I DON'T KNOW ABOUT ANYBODY ELSE, BUT I CAN NOT AFFORD TO JOIN WHAT IS IT?? THAT SITE THAT CHARGES YOU AND GIVES YOU THE MOST UP TO DATE INFORMATION THAT WE NEED.

I DO NOT THINK THAT THEY SHOULD NOT EVEN CHARGE FOR IT.. BUT ANYWAY..

CAN ANYBODY HELP WITH THIS?? IF SO LET ME KNOW, AND I'LL GIVE THE EMAIL ADDRESS I USE JUST FOR CELIAC STUFF.

THANK YOU EVERYBODY!!!!!!!!!!!!! LYNN

You also have to remember that ingredients always change! That is why I didn't want to spend the money on those lists you pay for(granted they are updated) but I would rather call or email.

Who told you that tylenol product was not gluten-free???? I don't think that one was on the gluten-free list I got a week ago!

Good Luck!

The drugs on the gluten free drug list are name brands, correct? What about generics? My insurance company pays for generics, but I've found it to be a problem when researching generic drugs.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Hi Kathy nice 2 meet you.

It is hard with generic companies-- you do the same call them up. But the problem like with Greenstone is that they told me that some of the stuff comes from the outside, and can't guarantee its gluten-free. Like with Zithromax the brand is gluten-free, but the generic one, they cant guarantee- they say the writing on the pill may contain gluten.. ugh i hate dealing with the pharmacological companies..

vvvvvvvvv glgl if you get anywhere, please let me know also.

I just went on a company calling spree. Here are my results:

Robitussin/Dimetapp: (800)762-4675 Do not track outside ingredients, so they have no idea if any of their products are gluten free.

Triaminic: (800)KIDS-987 All products are gluten free. (When I called them last March they gave me a short list of gluten free products, so I will be calling them back to double check.)

Banadryl: (800)223-0182 All children's products are gluten free. They track ingredients, but I don't think they test products.

Pediacare: (877)895-3665 Do not track outside ingredients.

Tylenol/Motrin: (888)466-8746 Gluten free lists are of RANDOM products that were tested. Not all products are tested, but none of their (children's) products have gluten added. They also track outside ingredients. Just because one flavor of Tylenol cold is on the gluten free list, does not mean the other varieties are not gluten free.

Tis the season...

Dear Jenny

this is very odd because i have called triaminic 2 times now. The Purple bottle- NIGHT TIME COUGH AND COLD- IS NOT GLUTEN FREE.

I WENT WAS TOLD THAT THE TYLENOL GRAPES SUSPENSION - ACTUALLY ALL HAVE BEEN REFORMULTATED- THAT THEY HAVEN'T BEEN TESTED YET.. ON THE GLUTEN FREE.COM SITE- THE DRUG LIST PAGE- IT IS LISTED- AND I SENT A LETTER AND WHAT I WROTE ABOVE IS WHAT THE DR. WAS TOLD..

I SWEAR, IT DEPENDS WITH SOME COMPANIES WHO YOU SPEAK WITH - I WAS TOLD ROBITUSSEN WAS SAFE.. SEE? THIS REALLY STINKS WHEN 2 PPL CAN CALL AND GET 2 DIFFERENT ANSWERS.. GLGL AND HAPPY HALLOWEEN

Yes, it is frustrating! If I'm unsure I call companies multiple times to talk to multiple people. Like I said, I plan on calling Triaminic again--I don't believe them! On the gluten-free list from Tylenol there was a blurb about how some grape and very very berry strawberry flavors have been reformulated and have not yet been tested. Even with these reformulations, they do not expect to find gluten in them. All their ingredients are gluten free. What they're really testing against is any possible cross contamination. Out of all the brands I trust Tylenol the most. I will likely stick to their products. On top of not using gluten ingredients, they test random products for cross contamination.

I think I'll call Walmart and get a list of their medications as well. They sell their brand of Robitussin like products. Tylenol does not have products containing expectorants, and sometimes those medications are very helpful.

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      By catnapt · Posted

      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.

      By trents · Posted

      Under the circumstances, your decision to have the testing done on day 14 sounds very reasonable. But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in hospitals or institutional care and I'm guessing your physician would be willing to grant you a diagnosis of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) even if your celiac testing comes up negative. Also, you need to be aware that oats (even gluten free oats) is a common cross reactor in the celiac community. Oat protein (avenin) is similar to gluten. You might want to look at some other gluten free hot  breakfast cereal alternatives.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By SilkieFairy · Posted

      After the birth of my daughter nearly 6 years ago, my stools changed. They became thin if they happened to be solid (which was rare) but most of the time it was Bristol #6 (very loose and 6-8x a day). I was on various medications and put it down to that. A few years later I went on this strict "fruit and meat" diet where I just ate meat, fruit, and squash vegetables. I noticed my stools were suddenly formed, if a bit narrow. I knew then that the diarrhea was probably food related not medication related. I tried following the fodmap diet but honestly it was just too complicated, I just lived with pooping 8x a day and wondering how I'd ever get and keep a job once my children were in school.  This past December I got my yearly bloodwork and my triglycerides were high. I looked into Dr. William Davis (wheat belly author) and he recommended going off wheat and other grains. This is the first time in my life I was reading labels to make sure there was no wheat. Within 2 weeks, not only were my stools formed and firm but I was only pooping twice a day, beautiful formed Bristol #4.  Dr. Davis allows some legumes, so I went ahead and added red lentils and beans. Nervous that the diarrhea would come back if I had IBS-D. Not only did it not come back, it just made my stools even bigger and beautiful. Still formed just with a lot more width and bulk. I've also been eating a lot of plant food like tofu, mushrooms, bell peppers, hummus etc which I thought was the cause of my diarrhea before and still, my stools are formed. In January I ran a genetics test because I knew you had to have the genes for celiac. The report came back with  DQ 2.2 plus other markers that I guess are necessary in order for it to be possible to have celiac. Apparently DQ 2.2 is the "rarer" kind but based on my report it's genetically possible for me to have celiac.  I know the next step is to bring gluten back so I can get testing but I am just not wanting to do that. After suffering with diarrhea for years I can't bring myself to do it right now. So that is where I am!
