Alka Seltzer

Been taking papaya enzyme for upset stomach, but wish I could have alka seltzer. I know this has been discussed in posts before, but when I search, the subject about alka seltzer is somewhere in everyone's posts...don't feel like reading through all posts...just want to know.

Also, someone was talking about a book that has a list of all foods gluten (or not gluten?) but can't find it. Will this book answer questions such as this? Simple and to the point?

Sorry if I seem impatient. Just want some answers on things like listerine, alka seltzer, etc. I know that reading posts is educational (and I have been reading most), but i've been totally engrossed in this site since diagnosed about 4 months ago and I need to get some kind of life back. Is there a way to get quick answers??

Thank you to all my "teachers."

I have read alka selzer helps with the cramping if you accidentally ingest gluten also the cola syrup helps. I have read on this site.

I think books like Dangerous Grains or any Celiac-specific books will give you the basics, but when it comes to name brands, you may have to call the manufacturer. Also, be sure to check out the resources on celic.com. Here's a good article to start with:

Product formulas change all the time. A list will be out of date moments after it is made. The production cycle for a book is usually about one year from submission of final manuscript to availability in stores.

If you buy only one book, make it Shelley Case's Gluten-Free Diet A Comprehensive Resource Guide. It will not identify specific products, but will tell you how to read labels. It will also list companies that make gluten-free products. You must always read the product label to know if a given item has gluten in it.

I agree. The best thing you can do is learn about a company's gluten free labeling policies. Kraft and Unilever are good labelers for example. Hormel labels a lot of their gluten-free items and other companys are starting to do this also. I do wish all companies labeled for gluten CC but you will learn which companies are risky as far as that goes. Going with mostly fresh unprocessed food makes it easier. As for mouthwash I just avoid any that have alcohol as I react to distilled gluten grains but not all celiacs do.

I agree with Peter. (It's hard not too ;) ) Shelley Case is an amazing resource--her book, her website, herself--if you ever get a chance to hear her speak, GO!!! I got to hear her at about three months gluten free, and after that, I felt like I could handle things. She also gives a lot of good nutritional information on 'alternative' grains.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Fighting for a name

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.
