Sorry I can't answer the question, just wondering if you're okay? I was prescribed phenergan when I was pregnant and throwing up for 9 months, but it's considered category B/C for pregnancy--you'd only want it if you're really having major problems keeping food down.

For me, when I took it at the prescribed strength, it knocked me out for 17 hours, and I was totally unable to function. I ended up taking 1/4 of a dose, and only once a day instead of every 6-8 hours, and that was enough to get me through the day with a minimum of vomiting and a minimum of zombieness.

Yeah, just have a stomach bug. Threw up a couple times this morning, but have felt nauseated all day, so the doc gave me a prescription for it. Never taken it before. I will start out with half a dose, thanks for the warning.

Your doctor should be writing gluten free on your scripts. The pharmacist should be able to look up whether it is safe or not but if they don't have time get the printout from the drug and call the makers number which will be on there somewhere.

I'm not saying that your doctor is definitely wrong for wanting to stop the vomiting cycle, as dehydration might be a concern at this point. However, it is important to realize that vomiting is your body's way of getting rid of something toxic. To stop the cycle means leaving the toxin in your system for a longer period of time until your body can find another way to deal with it.

Sometimes intervention can really help, but sometimes it can make things worse. (And I don't know which it would be in your case--just wanted to put my thoughts out there for you.)

I hope you feel better soon! (I hope you are already feeling better!)

i did a google search on this site for "drug list" and found that one: Open Original Shared Link

anyone know how accurate that is?

yeah, my pharmacy sucks. they always tell me, "of course it's gluten free...blah blah blah" or if I ask them to double check, they look over the ingredients and say, "nope, no gluten on this list"....i really need to change pharmacies, just waiting for my refills to run out.

mostly, i'm taking it for the nausea. i threw up a couple times yesterday morning, but that was all (well, not all - had some explosive BM's too). anyway, i think i got all the yuckies out. i'm just extremely dizzy, and even thinking about food makes me nauseated. been drinking lots though, and taking my fiber and vitamins. hopefully will be back on my feet soon!

thanks for all your help and advice :)

      Diagnosed w Celiacs, but reacting to gluten-free Digiorno Pizza AND Kraft Zesty Italian Dressing

      By Awol cast iron stomach · Posted

      I wanted to say hello, and add that  early in eating gluten free I had  to avoid processed foods due to too many ingredients. I also had additional intolerances that needed time to subside. My team suggested I limit gluten free processed foods, as I was having issues with items with too many ingredients. I see Trents explained some of the culprits when he responded.  I found it helpful to go whole foods  diet. When I need inspiration I found Paleo and AIP (Autoimmune Protocol) recipes helpful to offer variety to my palate.  Often our bodies in the early stages prefer we go whole foods/ minimal processed foods. In turn, I realized I prefer freshly made salad dressing which I still make to this day. My pocketbook also finds making my own has its benefits.    Best wishes.

      A question - eggs & dairy

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      As @trents stated the pancreas does not produce lactase enzyme.  Most humans lose the ability to create enough lactase.  Some say milk is only for babies. But, by eating brined fermented foods like dill pickles and sourkraut, the Lactobacillus from these foods set up colonies in your gut and excrete lactase so we can eat dairy.  Most pickles sold in supermarkets are quick pickled, the vinegar gives them the texture and taste, but not the nutritional benefits.  Vinegar's acidity can inhibit or even kill Lactobacillus strains.  They need to be salt fermented.  And antibiotics kill them along with their prescribed target.  I used to make my own.  It takes about 10 days, depending on the sourness and crunchiness you prefer, then store in the fridge.  Bubbies Kosher Dill pickles and Ba-Tampte are the one's my Publix carries in the refrigerate area.  Never both at the same time though.  And there's Katz's Delicatessen in NY will ship.  I loved everything at Katz's. Naturally Fermented Pickles [The Complete Guide] Regarding the fats in milk.  Commercial dairies use additives to the feed to increase milk volume and milkfat.  Unfortunately the fat added are the C:16 fats but not the C:18 healthy fats, giving commercial dairies milk an omega 6:3 ratio of 5:1, inflammatory.  Organic milk's (30% pasture fed) ratio is 3:1 and Grassfed milk is 1:1.  Grass fed (pasture fed) milk in my opinion tastes much better, and is less inflammation.  It tastes so good, like the milk the milkman delivered to us in the fifties.  Another case of how overprocessed our food is today.  Even the 0%Fat Grassmilk tastes good. Only Ireland and New Zealand produce mostly pasture fed milk commercially.

      Should I be screened for celiac disease?

      By trents · Posted

      TTG would refer to a blood antibody test. Not valid if you are already eating gluten free or mostly so. DQH would refer to a genetic test to see if you possess either or both of the two genes that have been connected most strongly to developing active celiac disease. The genetic test is more of a rule out measure than a diagnostic test as about 40% of the general population have one or both of those genes but only about 1% of the general population develops active celiac disease. If you don't have the genes but gluten causes you issues then the conclusion is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. So, the genetic testing helps with a differential diagnosis. I don't know about the 2P. 2 Pairs of genes?

      gluten-free Canada finds

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Tell him to get me a case...just kidding! I wonder why they are not labelled gluten-free here in the USA? They don't have gluten ingredients.
