I have been looking for gluten-free products to counteract stomach acidity. Tums does not appear on any list I've seen (due to maltodextrin?, starch?). Nor does Prilosec (starch?). I have told by my doctor not to use Pink Bismuth (due to its coating effects on the stomach walls). There must be plenty of others but I could not find them on the Clan-Thompson list - I guess you need to know the names first. Suggestions? Thanks!

Do you have a gluten free medications list? That may help you...the delphi list has an extensive one.

Also here is this sites meds list:

https://www.celiac.com/st_prod.html?p_prodi...-46105145006.85

There is also one on glutenfreedrugs.com

Tums does not use gluten as a filler but they will not guarantee that their suppliers ingredients are gluten free.

Thanks, Kaiti. Actually, I did have that list via the Celiac.com homepage. It is what what enabled me to see that Prilosec was not there. The trouble is, it does not tell which of the products on this list are antacids or have the same efffect. And, as someone who (up to now) ever took any drugs, I am just not up to date aboout what is out there. Experience willl change all that but, for now, I have to shop around to see what works and has no side effects.

But thanks!

The only thing I take is Pepto Bismol and I very rarely take that.

I know there are side effects to about everything you take but given some are worse then others.

I'm sure someone can help you out in this part of things more then I can...this isn't really my area of expertise..

I live in Canada so perhaps you should double check in which ever country you live in but I just confirmed last week from the company that Rolaids Multi-Symptom Antacid & Antigas is indeed gluten free. The product code if you needed to check is: 60245 20044. 1-800-661-4659

Hope this helps......

I decided to check the Delphi list about it since you mentioned it in your post. I found out some good news :D

Prilosec OTC (1-800-759-4841) (vp=01/25/05)

"Prilosec does not contain ingredients from gluten containing grains. It is gluten-free"

Hmmm! I wonder why it made Delphi but not Clan Thompson or the Celiac.com lists.

By the way, the reason I was given for not using Pepto-Bismol was that by coating stomch walls it may interfere with recovering villi.

Some lists are just different then others and cover things that others may not.

Thanks for sharing what your doctor said about Pepto Bismol...it's nice to know that for future references :D

Perrigo Labs makes a store-brand of Zantac 75 that is gluten-free also. I don't have the problem every day but when it do it is nasty. I keep this around to cut it off at the pass.

      Potential celiac need advice

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Thank you so much for sharing your experience and I found myself giggling with happiness as I read how your body reached such spring! And I hope that your current journey is also successful!! Definitely starting the food diary! So many amazing advices. And it’s very scary. It really hits all our soft spots as well as our confidence system. Most doctors I went thought I was underage despite being in my late 20s. Right now I look like am I twelve, but is also this body that’s taking so much, so I might as well love it too! Going to make the necessary changes and stay in this path. Thank you again! 🫶
