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.

      Awaiting Biopsy results

      I have had my endoscopy this morning with biopsies. My consultant said that it looked like I did have coeliac disease from what he could see. I now have to wait 3 weeks for the biopsy results. Do I continue eating gluten till my follow appointment in three weeks.

      Stomach hurts with movement

      Hi @emzie and welcome to the forum. Perhaps could be residual inflammation and bloating that is causing sensitivity in that area. I was diagnosed with coeliac disease in 2013 and I remember some years ago my sister telling me around that time that she had a lady in her church, also a coeliac, who had real pain when she turned her torso in a certain...

      Hi! One of the usual symptoms I have with a gluten flare up has deviated a bit and I thought I'd search for advice/opinions here. Also to see if anyone goes through similar stuff. Monday all of a sudden I got really bad pain in my stomach (centre, right under the chest, where the duodenum would be located). I ended up having to throw up for 2 hours, my body...

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      Hi. So sorry to hear about your shingles. There is a lidocaine cream that you can get at Walmart that will help numb the pain. That's what I used for mine. It can't be put near your eyes or in your ears. I hope your doctor gave you valacyclovir which is an antiviral. It does lessen the symptoms. If it is in your eyes, see an ophthalmologist. They have...

      Hi @emzie and welcome to the forum. Perhaps could be residual inflammation and bloating that is causing sensitivity in that area.  I was diagnosed with coeliac disease in 2013 and I remember some years ago my sister telling me around that time that she had a lady in her church, also a coeliac, who  had real pain when she turned her torso in a certain direction whilst doing exercises, but otherwise was responding well to the gluten-free diet. As far as I know is still the picture of health. I often end up with pain in various parts of my gut if I eat too much rich food or certain types of fibre (for some reasons walnuts make my gut hurt, and rice cakes!) and and as a rule, the pain usually hangs around for a number of days, maybe up to a week.   When I bend over or turn, I can feel it.  I think this is actually due to my other diagnosis of IBS, for years I thought I had a rumbling appendix but I think it must have just been IBS.  Reading the experiences of other sufferers, it seems quite typical.  Sensitized gut, build up of gas - it stands to reason that the extra pressure of turning can increase the pain. When I am glutened I get a burning, gnawing pain in my stomach on and off for some days - it isn't constant, but it can take up a few hours of the day.  I believe this to be gastritis, but it seems to hurt irrespective of movement.   Anyway, you are doing the right thing to seek a professional opinion, though, so do let us know how you get on.   Meanwhile, might I suggest you drink peppermint tea, or try slices of fresh ginger in hot water? A lot of IBS sufferers say the former is very helpful in relieving cramps, etc, and the latter is very soothing on the stomach. Cristiana

      Hi! One of the usual symptoms I have with a gluten flare up has deviated a bit and I thought I'd search for advice/opinions here. Also to see if anyone goes through similar stuff. Monday all of a sudden I got really bad pain in my stomach (centre, right under the chest, where the duodenum would be located). I ended up having to throw up for 2 hours, my body was trying to get rid of something from all sides and it was just horrible. Since then I havent been nauseous anymore at all, but the pain has stayed and it always worsens the moment i start moving. The more I move the more it hurts, and when i rest longer it seems to dissapear (no movement). I've had this before, but years ago I think around when I first got diagnosed with coeliac, where each time I moved, my stomach would hurt, to the point where I went to the ER because doctors got freaked out. That only lasted 1 night though, and Now it's already wednesday, so 3 days since then, but the pain persists and remains leveled. it doesn't get crazy intense, but it's still uncomfortable to the point I cant really go out because Im afraid itll turn into a giant flare up again. I couldn't think of where I could possibly have been glutened at this bad of a level and why it hasn't passed yet. I went to the GP, and as long as I have no fever and the pain isnt insane then its fine which I havent had yet. Tomorrow im also seeing a gastroenterologist specialized in IBS and coeliac for the first time finally in years, but I thought I'd ask on here anyway because it still hasnt dissapeared. It also hurts when someone presses on it. Maybe it's just really inflamed/irritated. I'm just frustrated because I'm missing out on my uni lectures and I do a sports bachelor, so I can't get behind on stuff & next to that i'm also going to go to the beach with my boyfriend's family this weekend: (

It can't be put near your eyes or in your ears. I hope your doctor gave you valacyclovir which is an antiviral.  It does lessen the symptoms. If it is in your eyes,  see an ophthalmologist.  They have an antiviral eye drop that can be prescribed.  Shingles in the eye could cause blindness.  I was unsure whether you have celiac or not.  If you do,  follow the diet.  I believe that extra stress on your body does affect everything. Shingles can recur. If you start getting the warning signs of nerves tingling,  see the dr and start taking the valacyclovir to prevent a breakout. If I sound technical,  I am a retired pharmacist.

      celiac disease and braces

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      You are right to be proactive, as research does indicate that individuals with celiac disease can have a higher predisposition to enamel defects, cavities, and periodontal issues, even with excellent oral hygiene. While many people with celiac successfully undergo orthodontic treatment without complication, your caution is valid. It may be beneficial to seek a consultation with an orthodontist who is familiar with managing patients with autoimmune conditions or who is willing to collaborate with your daughter's gastroenterologist or a periodontist. They can perform a thorough assessment of her current oral health, discuss your specific concerns about recession and decay, and create a tailored hygiene plan. This second opinion could provide a clearer risk-benefit analysis, helping you decide if addressing the cosmetic concern of the lower teeth is worth the potential risks for your daughter, especially if they are not currently affecting function or her confidence.
