Hi Folks!

First I'd just like to say whilst am here and have the chance to...

For the record I am both better and the same as far as all my "digestive issues" ... my "blood tests came back as negative at ( 2 < 20 Iga) :( (And I only withdrew gluten Friday afternoon until Sunday afternoon and then pigged out on wheat ALL day Sunday & Monday morn before they took the blood!) Now I have finally got an appt to see a GI (Celiac familiar too! :D on April 7th, meanwhile I am even "eating foods" (as in plural or variety), have halted "losing" weight but staying at 119, and now have been gluten free about a week I think, (had some errors with my "antacid meds" which led me to this post today actually). My D continues BUT it is no longer so, hmmm how to say it, pressurized I am happy to say, though unfortunately my "malabsorbtion issue" is all to obviously apparent by the fact that, hmmmm again let's see, well ya know how "corn goes in and out pretty much the same" in my case EVERYTHING does just that, even Iceberg Lettuce looks da same in and out <_< Anyhoo... now I'm babbling about me... on to the point of the post!

While I am not at all sure just how many fellow "Canadians" there are as members or even readers of the forums, BUT heck I know I am, so I figured that this particular "gluten-free List" would and could be a benefit to others to have and so I decided to share it in a post here today... For me one of the more difficult aspects of "going gluten-free" has proven to be NOT my "food" so much but more frequently with "OTC & Prescription Medications", which I take many of, for both other ailments and my newer too significant "digestive symptoms". From my Synthroid med to painkiller to "antacid & Immodioum" discovering whether they were safe "Gluten wise" took me journey after journey to the pharmacy counter to ask "please check this for me" and unfortunately, quite a few "trial & errors" too, before one of the Pharmacists so kindly "ripped out the list page from the BIG blue CPS book and gave me a "photocopy" of it... (an earthly angel she is ;) I hope it may save others some of my own errors and make their Celiac journey a tad easier perhaps. The list below is copyright by the publisher and is transcribed verbatim as it appears upon the photocopied page, it is shared here without gain and it should NOT be used in any way to "obtain profit". Please note; I will also be posting another small list table of a very few "Gluten containing" Pharmacuticals within CPS, along with the 'information text" on the particulars of Celiac Disease intended to educate and inform Pharmacists consulting the CPS. And I'll do that for ya, just as soon as I get my next "bathroom break" (away from it that is eh :lol:

CPS GLUTEN-FREE PHARMACEUTICAL MANUFACTURERS

Table 3 lists manufacturers who participate in CPS and do NOT use gluten in the products they have included in CPS. The list is based on information provided by the manufacturers. In some cases, raw materials used in the manufacturing process are obtained from sources other than the pharmaceutical industry and may contain traces of gluten of which the manufacturer is unaware. It should not be assumed that manufacturers not listed do use gluten. This list is not exhaustive and should serve as an initial screening tool.

      Edy's and Dreyer's ice cream

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      There is a 10 year old post in this forum on Edy's and Dreyer's ice cream. The information is somewhat outdated and the thread is closed to further comment, so here is a new one. Edy's And Dreyer's Grand Vanilla Bean Ice Cream - 1.5 Quart is labeled "Gluten Free". This is a different answer than years gone by. I don't know the answer for any other flavor at this moment. On 1 May, 2026, Edy's website says: "As a general rule, the gluten in Edy's and Dreyer's® frozen dessert products is present only in the added bakery products, such as cookies, cake or brownies. We always label the eight major food allergens on our package by their common name. We recommend to always check the label for the most current information before purchasing and/or consuming a product. The exception to this rule is our Slow Churned French Silk frozen dairy dessert, which contains gluten in the natural flavors." https://www.icecream.com/us/en/brands/edys-and-dreyers/faq It seems that Edy's and Dreyer's are more celiac-friendly than they were 10 years ago. Once I found enough information to make today's buying decision, I stopped researching.

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      My dad had an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm.  Fortunately, it was discovered during an exam.  The doctor could feel my dad's heart beating in his stomach/abdomen.  The aneurysm burst when the doctor first touched it in surgery.  Since he was already hooked up to the bypass machine, my dad survived ten more years.  Close call! Triple A's can press on the nerves in the spinal cord causing leg pain.  I'm wondering if bowing the head might have increased the pressure on an aneurysm and then the nerves.   https://gulfcoastsurgeons.com/understanding-abdominal-aortic-aneurysm-symptoms-and-causes/ Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Presenting as a Claudication https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4040638/

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      You have an odd story there. To me, the mechanical trigger suggests a mechanical problem and lower leg pain is a classic sciatica symptom. The fact that the clear mechanical linkage is no longer there does not take away from the fact that it was - maybe something shifted and the simple alignment is no longer there. There's also a good chance I am wrong and it's something else entirely. @Scott Adams's mention of shingles is interesting. It seems possible but unlikely to me, but who knows. However, I am writing here to reinforce the idea of getting the shingles vaccine. Ask anyone who has ever had shingles and they will bend your ear telling you how bad it is. I watched my wife go through it and it scared the bejeebers out of me. Even if you had the chicken pox vaccine, you really want to get the shingles vaccine.

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      By HectorConvector · Posted

      Oddly this effect has gone now, just happened yesterday evening, the nerve pain is now back to its usual "unpredictable" random self again - but that was the only time I ever had some mechanical trigger for it, don't know why! There's no (or wasn't) actual pain in my neck - it was inside the leg, but when I looked down, now though, the leg pain just comes and goes randomly as before again.
