Excedrin Sinus Headache

Help!

Does anyone have info on Excedrin Sinus Headache? I have been experiencing wicked sinus headaches, so I tried Excedrin Sinus Headache, which is good at relieving symptoms. Unfortunately, I had what I have identified as my gluten symptoms:

Trouble sleeping; gurgling stomach; bowel discomfort; fatty tools; urgency.

I am only 5 weeks into being diagnosed with celiac, and am getting sooooo frustrated. Just when I think I'm fine, somehow it sneaks in again.

Thanks, NewGuy

I looked online to see if I could find any info and couldn't. I'm pretty sure it is but you should call the company to be sure.

If it is gluten-free, since you are only 5 weeks into the diet so it could be a few things. You haven't healed yet and may still experience some symptoms. Also, check your bath and body products. many of us have been glutened by shampoo, conditioner, etc.

There's also the possibility of cross-contamination if you are not using dedicated pots, pans, toaster, cutting board etc.

What are some safe shampoos, then? I didn't know shampoo had gluten in there.

Not ALL shampoos and conditioners have gluten in them. You have to read the labels. I use a few different ones- Neutrogena shampoo and conditioner, L'Oreal Vive Gloss shampoo and conditioner, Bed Head Moisture Maniac shampoo, Pantene, Dove and Garnier will clearly list gluten. Also Giovanni 50:50 and may of their other products are gluten-free.

As with anything, read the labels EVERY time because companies DO change their ingredients.

Also, look at things like body washes, moisturizers, lip balms, and cosmetics. I just noticed your user name so you probably don't BUT if your girlfriend/wife uses lipstick or makeup with gluten in it and you kiss her, that can be a source too. Basically anything that goes on your head or hands can get in your mouth.

I know this is probably a LOT of overwhelming information when first going gluten-free. I hope you find out what is making you sick soon!

It could have gluten in it. But I would also look at why you're needing to take it in the first place. Perhaps you've gotten into something else. I get migraines if I get a hold of something with soy.

Well, I have had sinus issues for about 2 weeks after receiving the H1N1 vaccine, and it is going away, but I can tell you all this much: I reacted to the excedrin sinus pretty badly. I haven't found a definitive answer, but as you will agree I am going to trust my body on this one. My poor, invidiously glutened body...

Could it have been the vaccine?

Do you know the ingredients of that?

I use Vicks Dayquil......or equivelant.

      if you have already learned that Gluten is the cause of your symptoms, of course there is no need to add it back into your diet— your decision could save you a lot of needless suffering. One thing to consider is that if you do have celiac disease, your first- degree relatives may also need to get screened for it, because, like diabetes the disease is genetic, although many of its triggers seem to be environmental factors. You may want to consider getting a genetic test for celiac disease, so you can at least warn your relatives if it turns out that you do carry a celiac gene.

      TTG IgA 0.30 U/ml: further tests?

      By lookingforanswersone · Posted

      Thanks everyone. I've decided to do a gluten challenge (4 slices of bread a day for 3 months) and then do a full gluten panel of all the tests that can be done, just to rule it in or out for sure. I think otherwise psychologically it will keep bothering me

      Thanks Scott. Those articles are really interesting. I’m cutting out gluten for 6 weeks but honestly I’m not sure I even want to reintroduce it! I ate at a restaurant for the first time on Wednesday and then Thursday was really uncomfortable and had a few trips to the loo.. wonder if there was some cross contamination 🤷‍♀️ if that’s how my body reacts after not eating it for 3 weeks I’m not sure it’s worth reintroducing it and re testing for celiac! It might have been a coincidence I realise that I’m not going to feel better all of a sudden and my gut is probably still trying to heal. Thanks for your supportive message!

      Reference range 0.00 to 10.00 means that within that range is normal, so not celiac. There are other antibodies that can be present in celiac disease and they don’t all have to be positive to have celiac.  I’m sure someone else will post a link to an article describing them! Plus, if you are IgA deficient the celiac IgA tests won’t be accurate.

      Great to have another UK person on the forum!   Re: blood tests, it sounds as if you are being well monitored but if you have any further concerns about blood tests or anything else, do not hesitate to start a new thread. Cristiana
