I was wondering if celiacc disease somehow makes you more sensitive to antibiotics? Ive only been on them like 3 times in my life, but im on them again cos i have an infection around my wisdom tooth. Everytime ive been on them, they burn my stomach real bad, and i get so tired, but i cant sleep. This happens to me even on a small dose.

It's pretty common for them to cause burning in the stomach. Do you take them with food? And not crackers... like with a meal? My husband is not Celiac and in Jan he was on abx. The first night or so he was in a tremendous amount of pain because he took them right before he went to bed. And by that point he didn't have enough in his stomach to buffer it. The doc told him (don't know why he did tell him when he prescribed them) to take the them with a full meal. After that he had no problems.

Whenever I am on any medication, from Tylenol to antibiotics, I get foggy and very sleepy, almost like I had a glass of wine except really disoriented...I was told it is probably because I have the leaky gut and everything goes right through me instead of being digested the way it is supposed to. I only resort to medications if it is crucial, otherwise I try to do it with home remedies, but recently I had a UTI and had to be on an antibiotic, and everytime I took it I felt sleepy and a little foggy and my stomach hurt. I also get tired but antsy at the same time, I want to do a lot of stuff like cleaning and run my errands but I feel so tired.

I don't know where you are, but my experience is that doctors don't usually tell you those things unless you ask.

HOWEVER, the pharmacy should tell you when you pick up the prescription, it should be on the bottle, and if your pharmacy gives you a big printout about the medication, it should be somewhere in there. That printout is beyond dry tiresome reading and usually qualifies as TMI, but the labels on the bottle are neon colors with huge print - because they don't want you to miss that info. They say things like "take with meals" or "don't take with alcohol" or "may cause drowsiness" and short but essential stuff like that.

In addition to what others have said, I'll just add that antibiotics do tend to kill off helpful intestinal bacteria, allowing candida to proliferate afterwards. This doesn't sound like that is happening in your case, but it's something to keep in mind.

Any person taking antibiotics NEEDS to take probiotics. Read up on probiotics there is too much info to type it out. Yogurt is not enough.

      Son's legs shaking

      Hi, My 7 year daughter has complained of this in the past, which I thought were part of her glutening symptom, but more recently I have come to figure out it's part of her histamine overload symptom. This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine...

      Son's legs shaking

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin. He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her...

      Bob red mill gluten free oats

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified...

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you...

This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine intolerance". I wish I had known of this at the time of her diagnosis, life would have been much easier.  I hope you are able to figure out.

We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin.  He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her kitchen but I thought it would be ok.  Next day and for a few after his behavior is awful. Hitting, rude, disrespectful. Mainly he kept saying his legs were shaking. Is this a gluten exposure symptom that anyone else gets? Also the bad behavior?

But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.
