Readi-cat

I'm scheduled for a CT scan of abdomen next week and must ingest a solution prior, it is called Readi-CAT. I looked it up online and called the Readi-CAT's toll free number (E-Z-EM, www.ezem.com) to make sure it is gluten free and safe for celiacs.

The answer was AVOID THE VANILLA and stick to the berry flavors -- the vanilla flavor may have some gluten containing ingredients.

Just FYI because radiology didn't say anything about it, nor seem to know for sure if it was OK when I asked if it was gluten free. Glad I called them, because I probably would have chosen the vanilla! Yikes! :(

I feel for you - I had to drink 2 bottles of that stuff a few weeks ago. I drank the orange one, and besides C (which they warned me might happen) and nausea from the taste, I didn't have any other side-effects. A word of advice - make sure it's as cold as possible when you're ready to drink it, it's better when it's really cold.

Good luck on your test!

      Okay.  That doesn't answer the question, but thanks anyway.

      Refractory Coeliac Disease research to reduce anxiety

      By MelissaClinPsyD · Posted

      A confirmed diagnosis of refractory coeliac disease is required to participate in the study unfortunately. Apologies you are feeling miserable even though you have remained gluten-free, I hope you are able to receive further understanding as to why from the relevant medical professional. I am hoping to provide copies of the content used in this study following its completion end of this year so will make a note to post on here when the study is complete, a copy of the resources used from the group.

      Do you think it’s a vitamin issue that could make celiac symptoms worse during recovery ?

      Multivitamin products are seldom potent to offset the vitamin and mineral deficiencies that typically result from long term undiagnosed celiac disease. We commonly recommend sublingual B12, a B-complex 5-10k IU of D3, 400 mg daily of magnesium glycinate, and zinc picolinate. The forms of certain vitamins like magnesium and zinc are important since it has a significant impact on absorbability. If you live near a Costco, the Kirkland Signature series and Nature Made lines are good quality choices and economical. And they will indicate on the packaging if they are gluten free.
