Not Really Sure.....

Well, a few weeks ago, I thought possibly I had a bad tooth. Well after finding a dentist that actually took a patient, not of their own and getting checked out, it is my sinuses. Well, I do have allergies and I called my pcp and got a script for augmentin. Well at first it was fine, about the third day I felt sick, still in pain and figured it was all caused by the sinus inflamation. So I keep taking the medication, pain subsided after about 8 days and the doctor said to finish the meds cause he wrote it for 15 days. I have three days left and not taking it anymore. :angry:

I do have celiac, diagnosed by biopsy and then bloodwork and really never had any symptoms until I eat something now since going gluten free, or possibly in this case took a medication that I shouldn't have. My doctor knows I have celiac as well. I have felt bloated, stomache cramps, missed 2 1/2 days of work, nauseous, d but only slight until today, and also felt like I am there but not really. I know that sounds weird, but has anyone else felt like that and have any suggestions? Also does anyone really know what is in Augmentin? I tried looking it up but then you have to look those words up and then those words and get lost in figuring it all out. :(

If anyone can help, I would appreciate it. I am calling the pharmacy and also calling the doctor to see if there is anything else that can be done. <_<

Hi Lisa,

I can't help you with what's in augmentin but can say I cannot tolerate it either. For me, it was horrible stomach pains, the big D, and swollen fingers with a rash on my face. The doc had to switch me to something else. My pharmacists said that alot of people get D with augmentin but the swollen fingers and rash is not as common. Hope you feel better soon!

Augmentin makes me vomit.

I have heard it is very hard for many to digest.

      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.
