Could Generic Zantac Be Making Me Sick?

About a week ago I started using generic zantac 150 mg twice a day. last month I tried the Brand Zantac and had no problem so I assumed Zantac was ok.

the past few days the gut inflamation and bloating has been bad regardless of my diet. I have been watching what I eat.

The pain has been more intense way down low like in the pelvic area.About 2 months ago I had the same pain and went to the gyn thinking it was related to that. The gyn said the pain was coming from my bowel and to address it with my gluten-free diet. I have found that I have other intolerances as well and have been working with a dietician. I was a little better for a while but now feel blosted and sick again. the intestinal inflamation is back the pain is waking me during the night. Mornings are bad too as everything is just throbbing in the lower area. As soon as I move my bowels it feels better for a while.

this morning I tried ot figure out where it was coming from and then it hit me....the generic zantac must have something in it that is inflaming me. Of course I realized this after I took the zantac and a few hours later the bloating and pain started again! Does anyone else get these type of sypmtons....low abdominal throbbing pain? I can't imagine what esle it could be. this is the only thing that makes sense. I am going to attempt getting the ingredients from my pharmacy but that is a job in itself. They are not that efficient there. Time to change pharmacies but until I do I guess the ony way to really know would be to stop them and see what happens.

I am so digusted with all this. Today IS NOT a good day!

      Is it gluten?

      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.

      Trip to Anaheim/Disney

      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.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

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