Need A Gluten Free, Lactose Free Reflux Med

My six year old has reflux and it's getting to be a problem. We were at the pediatrician yesterday and she recommended Prilosec OTC. I was frustrated when I got to the pharmacy and started reading the ingredients. It lists "starch" with no specification as to where it comes from, which to me means wheat starch. He's been on Zantac but that doesn't seem to be working very well.

Has anyone else found a gluten free, lactose free reflux med??????

According to this site, run by a pharmacist, Prilosec is gluten free Open Original Shared Link

I can't speak to if its lactose free. Can he take lactaid, though?

My daughter was unable to take any of the reflux medicines because after 10-11 days on each one, she developed hives. After the third one, prevacid, I think, her throat started to close. We have gone to alternate methods to control her reflux, including eliminating acidic foods unless we can get the low acid variety such as orange juice, and investigating other food allergies or intolerances that can contribute to the reflux. the NAET doctor who first tested her confirmed the food allergies we knew and added a ton to her plate. She takes injections for the environmental allergies and eggs and soy, and underwent "clearances" from the NAET doctor for other intolerances to food. She rarely has any reflux now--it's been two years since we started all this. She was retested recently and reacted to only a couple of things instead of the dozens she used to react to. It's worth a try so you don't have to put him on medicine if you don't have to.

I think Tagamet HB is also lactose free.

      Welcome to the forum, @Tyoung! I would assume for the time being that the mild gastritis and the celiac disease are connected and that once you get a good handle on gluten free eating and experience significant healing in the lining of your duodenum, you will also see improvement in the gastritis as well. Gastritis is more often than not an accompanying finding that is commented on in the post scope/biopsy notes when people are positive for celiac disease.

      Hello! I was recently diagnosed with celiacs and mild chronic gastritis was noted on my EGD as well. My GI did not even bring up the gastritis and when I asked she brushed it off. I really want to heal my gut completely not just from celiacs but also the gastritis. Did anyone else have this at diagnosis? Were you able to treat it? Was it associated with celiacs or something entirely different? Thank you!!

      The last time my vitamin D was very low, according to a lab test, was before I was diagnosed with celiac disease. I've been supplementing ever since, and now the numbers on the lab tests are within their normal ranges, oftentimes way above. I've also been supplementing with methylcobalamin (B12) since I was low before diagnosis in 2010, and now I'm fine. I'm surprised I ever requested a folate level, but I did, in 2019. Result 9.4 ng/mL (range >3.0).

      Do you have any links that show studies where NCGS and/or infections have caused high Ttg iga levels.  I've yet to see anything that truly supports this. Everything I've read says the high levels are celiac specific.

      I get coughing and choking from canola oil. I cough up stuff.  Symptom is like bronchitis.  I have gluten intolerance, maybe celiac.  the choking persists for about a week, it simulates a cold.  I got it from the gluten free menu at Outback too, that time I got cramps for 25 hours. the cramps start about 20 minutes after finishing eating.
