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!

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

      I do not know this, but since they are labelled gluten-free, and are not really a product that could easily be contaminated when making them (there would be not flour in the air of such a facility, for example), I don't really see contamination as something to be concerned about for this type of product.

      Thanks @Scott Adams. Do you know if Kirkland Signature supplements share facility and production lines with other products containing gluten?  I'm worried that I'll react to this brand just like I did with other gluten-free labelled supplement brands.

      This is a really common area of confusion. Most natural cheeses (cheddar, Swiss, mozzarella, Parmesan, brie, camembert, and most blue cheeses) are inherently gluten-free, and you’re right that the molds used today are typically grown on gluten-free media. The bigger risks tend to come from processed cheeses: shredded cheese (anti-caking agents), cheese spreads, beer-washed rinds, smoke-flavored cheeses, and anything with added seasonings or “natural flavors,” where cross-contact can happen. As for yeast, you’re also correct — yeast itself is gluten-free. The issue is the source: brewer’s yeast and yeast extracts can be derived from barley unless labeled gluten-free, while baker’s yeast is generally safe. When in doubt, sticking with whole, unprocessed cheeses and products specifically labeled gluten-free is the safest approach, especially if you’re highly sensitive.
