Has anyone else had problems with the Sam's brand of Ibuprofen? I took it everyday for about a week and my symptoms got to the point where I was almost bedridden. Didn't make the connection soon enough I guess. I've tried calling the 800 but gave up both times after being on hold for over 30 minutes. I can't find a way to contac them via email.

Not that brand, but I switched from Advil to a Rite Aid generic brand for a couple days and I was sick. I had no idea what it was. I wasnt eating gluten I was sure of it. So maybe it was that, maybe not. I also called the 800 line with no help. To be safe I went out and bought the Advil brand for next time I need it. Cant say for sure what it was, b/c I do occassionally go throught nausea spells.

It would be best to confirm it's gluten/gluten free status with the company.

I took the Member's Mark Ibuprofen yesterday and about a 1/2 later noticed swelling in my legs and face and bloating in my stomach--I went through everything I ate and there was nothing that contained Gluten. I've been running into all kinds of gluten issues with medicine...no more member's mark ibuprofen or Target brand Vitamins.

I have confirmed that Member's Mark Ibuprofen are gluten free in three ways: the list of ingredients matches the list of gluten-free excepients from the Gluten Intolerance Group's list, I called the customer service number on the bottle (they confirmed it is gluten-free), and I found another website in which a dr claims it is gluten-free.

      Definitely worth speaking to your gastroenterologist about this. My own told me that by using Gaviscon a barrier forms over the contents of the stomach and stops gas and acid irritating the throat.  In fact, he said to me that because I found relief using Gaviscon that was a very clear indicator that reflux was the cause of that particular issue.   A wedge pillow will really help with this - or raising the top bed legs with bricks.

      I did get the pneumonia vaccine about 4 years ago. I had this amazing allergist who did all those vitamin deficiencies test and told to get that vaccine. Unfortunately she retired.  I haven’t been to an allergist in a few years,  I’m not sure what my levels are now. I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young etc. But yes I think I should at the very least get a different opinion. Thank you for your reply

      Yes I do have acid reflux. I’m not on anything for it at the moment. I sometimes wonder if that’s what it could be because I get heart burn every night. I may revisit my gastrointestinal doctor again. Thanks for the reply

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways.  I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux.  Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following a holiday to France in 2019, where I had been exposed to gluten.    The reflux continued into the autumn and winter, my throat itched to begin with, particularly after meals, but it then that feeling of irritation seemed to spread to my lungs.  I even found it difficult to breathe on occasion. What stopped it in its tracks was using a wedge pillow at night, following a reflux diet (you can find them online), not eating 2-4 hours before bed and also having a dose of Gaviscon Advanced at night, which forms a barrier so that acid/food can't go back up your esophagus.  The throat irritation faded, and then I found it easier to breathe again. Just mentioning in case it could be a contributing factor.

      Since initially getting your D checked a few years ago, has it since rebounded to normal levels? Sounds like at some point you got it checked again.
