I already posted on meds here but I am having a hard time getting up to date accurate non-conflicting info. I have used Pepcid complete chewables for about a year and they do an excellant job at reducing the acid in my belly. I read a post here after a search on "pepcid" a letter from the manufacturar was provided with a very vague,clearly uninformed description of their products (how messed up is that? and appartently common I'm finding) so I switched to pepcid ac capsule that seemed safer, though still not certian and this is the ONLY product I am consuming I am uncertian about right now. I hate the caps because the relief takes longer and I'm think they may be less effective overall. So I'm back on the pepcid ac complete chewable caps, they are working great. I am 122 hours gluten-free and feeling about 5000% better but don't want to consuming ANY evil gluten at all. Again I trust you all on this more than the manufacture I think is why I'm repeating myself here.

I take prescription prevacid

If you are using an OTC version, go to your local Kroger and get their generic version manufactured by Perrigo (in a gluten-free facility). The Perrigo logo looks like a rounded edged rectangle with a comma thing hanging off the right side. You may also find this manufacturer's stuff at Wal-mart or Target, but you have to look for the logo since not all their OTC meds are made of Perrigo.

I used to take those sorts of things. McD, if your recovery continues to resemble mine, u won't need any either in a month or 6 wks.

I was mainly using a generic otc acid-reducer.

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
