B-12 injections helped me tremendously when I was first diagnosed. Many people with Celiac are deficient in B-12 and Folic Acid. But, it was about two months before I was able to comfortably leave the house. It takes time.

Everyone's body reacts differently. I had some issues go away immediately and some things that kind of came and went for months.

Most people find that vitamins help them a lot. If you can't, or don't want to, get your levels checked you can add a multivitamin and maybe some B-complex and folic acid. The B vitamins are water soluble and it would be very hard to take too much. I take a B complex once or twice a day.

Eat more protein, fresh fruits and fresh vegetables. Avoid processed foods for awhile. Eventually you will heal and get feeling better, but right now your digestion is broken. Carbs may be hard to tolerate. Stay away from starch too. It takes a perfectly healthy instestine to digest complex carbs right now.

It will get better, but it's a learning process, on what we can and can't eat.

      Pepsid alternative

      The inactive ingredients list you provided includes pregelatinized starch, which can sometimes be derived from wheat, meaning it may contain gluten. It's best to call them to verify this. https://www.pepcid.com/our-products/max-strength-pepcid-ac-cool-mint

      Welcome to the forum, @Gary Libby! This might be helpful: https://www.celiac.com/forums/forum/27-gluten-free-recipes-cooking-tips/ Also, just "google" for the gluten free version of something you like and want to try. For instance, google "gluten free recipe for meatloaf" or "gluten free recipe for tuna casserole".  There are also gluten free cookbooks available. There are a bunch of them offered on Amazon. The most important thing is to get a good handle on what gluten is and where and how it is hidden in food products. Many things you already eat are naturally gluten free but many things you would never expect to find gluten in will have it. For examples of the latter, Campbell's tomato soup and most soy sauces. Many canned soups contain gluten because wheat flour is used as a thickener and a texturing agent. You must get in the habit of reading ingredient labels, especially the allergen section.

      Hi, is Pepsid safe for those with celiac? If not ( and I belive it is not gluten-free) what are other alternatives? I was not able to find anything but gluten-free tums in CVS. But I really need famotidine. Thank you
