Pepto

I know Pepto bismal is gluten-free, well the liquid stuff but are the chewable tablets gluten-free as well??

I was diagnosed last Sept. and going gluten-free cleared up my D immediately, then in late April I was in Florida and glutened almost every day, it was awful. I've had the runs and a sore belly since then and very little helps. Yes I'm calling my doctor today (which probably means I'm going to go thru weeks of tests, none of which I have time for and can't really take time off of work right now... sigh) but in the mean time Pepto keeps my belly from hurting, but its hard to carry around a big bottle of liquid...

Thanks, Susan

Susan,

When I'm feeling lousy or my belly is hurting Pepto is the only thing that brings me relief. I keep a bottle at work and a bottle at home. I also carry some tablets with me if I go out (Just In Case) and have not had any problem with them.

Best Of Luck!

Yep the tablets are gluten-free.

Remember to take the tablet Pepto WITH water! (Directions say not to chew and swallow without water)

I recently went back to school and decided to be prepared for all problems. So, now I bring a bottle of water along with my pepto in case I need it during class.

      Other symptoms that Celiac Disease can cause but resemble other diseases so the cause may be misdiagnosed. What Are the Symptoms of Celiac Disease?

      Thanks Scott. They are gluten-free but cross contaminated.

      Hernia symptoms after gluten exposure

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi there @MCAyr I have a small umbilical hernia which came about during my second pregnancy.   I can just about see it, and feel it, when I stand or sit, but it is far less noticeable when I lie down.  I always know when I am putting on weight because I can get pain and burning near the site, funnily enough not on the hernia itself but either side!  I would imagine bloating could cause the same effect as weight gain. In my case I don't think it is my bowel protruding but a bit of fat  - sorry,  I realise this isn't painting a very pretty picture.  But in truth it is scarcely noticeable.  It has never really got bigger in size. I was rather hoping that it could be operated on but here in the UK they don't seem to operate on every hernia anymore.  My GP isn't remotely worried about it. In a way, I should be thankful - it is like an early warning system that I need to go on a diet! Cristiana

      The hernia description would likely be unrelated to celiac disease, but you'd need to get it checked out by your doctor to be sure it's a hernia.
