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 :)

I have it for nausea and yes, it is gluten-free.

      Antibodies my number is in 500's. COVID hit and I was  layed off from my job so no insurance (was in Arizona) so couldn't complete all the other testing they wanted to do. Back home and contacted Minnesota Mayo and they take my new insurance so considering going back in spring.

      pdm1981 asks what I was also thinking. That is, refractory celiac disease.
    • pdm1981
      I've been to the Mayo Clinic. Outstanding place. Did they test to see if you might have refractory celiac disease? This may explain why the symptoms persist but what numbers are off the charts? Are they antibodies, liver enzymes?

      Hi Dawn,   Back in the Fall of 2019 with Covid looming I considered getting a pneumonia vaccine.  I went as far as getting in line and reading the pamphlet and saw the warning about not getting it if you ever had a reaction to diphtheria.  I instantly recalled a tetanus booster shot in 1971 that caused a severe reaction.  Tetanus booster shots include diphtheria.  I haven't had a tetanus shot since, but recent lab results show that I have many timed the immunity required.  Good Luck.

      Since we don't know what you reacting to when you get vaccinated, we can't say whether or not the pneumonia vaccine will cause a reaction. Is there some common ingredient in these vaccines that is causing a reaction. I mean, with many vaccines the antigen is delivered via a solution containing albumin (chicken egg protein). Some people are allergic to chicken egg protein so they can't take those vaccines. That kind of thing. When you say your "numbers are off the chart", what numbers do you refer to? Are you referring to celiac disease antibodies?
