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. ;):P 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.

:P

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. :blink: 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.

      Your high lactulose test, indicating out of control Small Itenstinal Bacterial O,vergrowth is one symptom.  You likely have low vitamin D, another symptom.  Unless you get lots of sun.   Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption, often leading to subclinical vitamin deficiencies.  A lot of people have these symptoms just before an acute phase of Celiac Disease.  Each of the symptoms can have multiple causes that are not celiac disease,  but when you start having multiple symptoms,  and each symptom is treated as a separate disease,  you have to think, maybe these are all one cause. celiac disease. There is a misconception that Celiac Disease is  a gastrointestinal disease and symptoms are only gastro related.  Wrong.  It is an autoimmune disease and has many symptoms that usually are disregarded.  I made that mistake until 63 y.o.  It can cause a dermatitis herpetiformis rash,  white spots on the brain.  It caused my alcoholism, arthritis, congested sineses, protein spots on my contacts lenses, swollen prostate, symptoms that are "part of aging". You may be tolerating gluten, the damage will happen. Of curiosity though, your age, sex, are you outside a lot without sunscreen?

      It would be interesting to see if you were tested again for blood antibodies after abandoning the gluten free diet for several weeks to a few months what the results would be. Don't misunderstand me. I'm not necessarily suggesting you do this but it is an option to think about. I guess I'm saying there is a question in my mind as to whether you actually ever had celiac disease. As I said above, the blood antibody testing can yield false positives. And it is also true that celiac-like symptoms can be produced by other medical conditions.

      Welcome to the forum, @numike! We sometimes get reports like yours from community members who believe their celiac disease has "gone away." We think there can sometimes be cases of remission but not long term healing and that continued consumption of gluten will eventually result in a relapse. This is the state of our knowledge at this point but there is still a lot we don't know and celiac disease continues to surprise us with new findings on a frequent basis. So, we would not advise you to abandon a strict gluten-free diet. Perhaps you can draw consolation from the fact that at the present time you seem to be able to consume gluten without consequences when in situations where you do not have the option to eat gluten-free. But I would advise you to not generalize your recent experience such that you throw caution to the wind. But I want to go back to what you said about being diagnosed by blood test in the early 2000's. Did you not also have that confirmed with an endoscopy and biopsy of the small bowel lining? Normally, a celiac disease diagnosis is not concluded based on a blood test alone because there can be false positives. What kind of doctor did this testing? Was it done in the U.S. or overseas? In the last few years, it has become common in the U.K. to grant a celiac diagnosis from blood testing alone if the antibody test scores are 10x normal or greater. But that practice has not caught on in the U.S. yet and was not in place internationally in the early 2000's. Do you have a record of the tests that were done, the scores and also the reference ranges for negative vs. positive for the tests?
