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.

      Is there a digestive enzyme that helps build a healthier gut? I see people taking them but not sure what really works

      So the tTG-IGA at 28 is positive for celiac disease. There are some other medical conditions that can cause elevated tTG-IGA but this is unlikely. There are some people for whom the dairy protein casein can cause this but by far the most likely cause is celiac disease. Especially when your small bowel lining is "scalloped". Your Serum IGA 01 (aka, "total IGA") at 245 mg/dl is within normal range, indicating you are not IGA deficient. But I also think it would be wise to take your doctor's advice about the sucraid diet and avoiding dairy . . . at least until you experience healing and your gut has had a chance to heal, which can take around two years. After that, you can experiment with adding dairy back in and monitor symptoms. By the way, if you want the protein afforded by dairy but need to avoid casein, you can do so with whey protein powder. Whey is the other major protein in dairy.

      hi, i want to say thank you to you and @trents   . after 2 phone calls to my GI, her office called me back to tell me that a blood test was “unnecessary” and that we should “follow the gold standard” and since my biopsy did not indicate celiac, to follow the no dairy and sucraid diet. i luckily have expendable income and made an appt for the labcorp blood test that day. i just got my results back and it indicates celiac disease i think 😭   im honestly happy bc now i KNOW and i can go gluten free. and i am SO MAD at this doctor for dismissing me for a simple blood test that wouldn’t have cost her anything !!!!!!!!!!! im sorry, im so emotional right now, i have been sick my whole life and never knew why, i feel so much better already   my results from labcorp:   Celiac Ab tTG TIgA w/Rflx Test Current Result and Flag Previous Result and Date Units Reference Interval t-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA 01 28 High U/mL 0-3 Negative 0 - 3 Weak Positive 4 - 10 Positive >10 Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) has been identified as the endomysial antigen. Studies have demonstrated that endomysial IgA antibodies have over 99% specificity for gluten sensitive enteropathy. Immunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum 01 245 mg/dL 87-352

      Thank you this really helped.

      Okay that is really good to know. So with that being positive and the other being high it makes sense she diagnosed her even without the endoscopy. So glad we caught it early. She had so many symptoms though that to me it was clear something was wrong.   yeah I think we had better test us and the other kids as well.
