gluten-free, Cf Painkillers...

[Yenni]

I am having surgery next week and I need to come with some suggestions for my doctor on what pain killers I can take.

I do not do well on strong ones...but I need something stronger than Tylenol I am told. I hate medication.

Anyways, does anyone know of any pain killers that are free from Gluten, casein and everything else bad? I am like intolerant to everything starchy..

Oh and I can't take Ibuprofen (shortness of breath).

I know there are lists of gluten free drugs, but haven't been able to find one that also lists milk and such. Does anyone know of one? Then I can take a look for myself.

Nobody.. It was worth a try anyways.

Here is a listing of gluten free drugs, but I can't vouch for any casein free.

When I had my daughter they wanted to give me Percocet, but opiates - synthetic or natural - make me nauseous and do nothing for the pain. So it was Extra-Strength Tylenol for me.

Get this. The nurses had access to the Percocet at the nurse's station. They had to leave the building and go to the hospital pharmacy for the Tylenol. Go figure.

Anyway, if you can't come up with anything else, Tylenol may not kill the pain, but it will hopefully dull it enough.

I plan on bringing Tylenol (the one I usually take for menstrual cramping). I usually do ok on just one of them so I am so, so, so hoping I'll be good on two (1 gram all together) of them instead. I'll bring my heating pad too which usually helps real well with pain.

I have a pre-surgery meeting tomorrow with the doctor.

I get really drugged by pain killers normally.

Once they gave me Benadryl+Droperidol+Ketorolac at the ER and it was the worst experience in my life. I was so drugged I could hardly talk or walk and I got side effects so that I felt I needed to move constantly. It crawled inside of me. 6 hours of that. After that I am VERY paranoid about drugs.

I have that list. Been looking at it. Nothing about Casein there though. It seems hard to find actually.

I have tried the pharmacy here but they are a joke. I don't know how many times they have been completely oblivious and have said they don't even know how to find things. Useless.
