Boost nutritional drink has a fiber orientated supplement. I believe that all boost are gluten-free except chocolate malt.

Perrigo Labs makes a gluten-free "Metamucil" type. It is sold under store brands at Kroger, Sam's, Walmart, and some Targets. The bottle will have a logo near the expiration date that looks like a rectangle with rounded edges and a comma hanging off the right side.

I LOVE Citrucel Clear Mix. It is gluten-free, says so right on the label, mixes with juice, and produces a wonderful effect. Try it!

Were you specifically looking for a chewable tablet?

We are - no chewables appear to be gluten-free. Let me know too if you all know of one....

My husband says that the fiber choice tablets are gluten free, but I have not called the company.

I've tried them all because I have constant D.... they all seem to work fairly well however Citrucil is a sort of fiber that does not ferment in your gut so there is no gas associated with it, there is with Metamucil. Also citrucil has a chocolate flavor that you mix with milk (if you can do lactose) and its really good.

For me it too a good week of monkeying with how much to take but I take 2 doses a day and I'm good.

I really like the effects of psyllium husks.

I make protein pancakes in the morning:

1 scoop protein powder

8 egg whites

1 tbsp ground flax seed

1/2 cup psyllium husks

Mind you, you have to ensure that you are drinking a lot of water! I started eating these every day and now I have 3+ nice bowel movements a day. It feels so good!

Where do you get psyllium husks that are not already flavored?

      Gluten free stuff

      By Tammy Pedler · Posted

      As soon as I see gluten free I read the labels. I always find stuff that I cannot have on the products them selfs. Like spices, when the labels says  everything listed and then after like say garlic salt then the next thing is spices. When it says that that can contain wheat and other things I can’t have..

      Do some people with Celiacs develop hypoglycemia?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While hypoglycemia isn't a direct, classic symptom of celiac disease, it's something that some individuals with well-managed celiac disease report, and there may be a few plausible explanations for why the two could be connected. The most common theory involves continued damage to the gut lining or nutrient deficiencies (like chromium or magnesium) that can impair the body's ability to regulate blood sugar effectively, even after gluten is removed. Another possibility is delayed stomach emptying (gastroparesis) or issues with the hormones that manage blood sugar release, like glucagon. Since your doctors are puzzled, it may be worth discussing these specific mechanisms with a gastroenterologist or endocrinologist. You are certainly not alone in experiencing this puzzling complication, and it highlights how celiac disease can have long-term metabolic effects beyond the digestive tract.

      Ibuprofen

      Paracetamol, aka, acetaminophen (Tylenol) just does not do anything for me as far as pain relief. It does help with fevers, though.

      Ibuprofen

      By cristiana · Posted

      I seem to recall that my digestive issues actually started when I was taking NSAIDs c. February 2013 for some unrelated condition.  My stomach got so sore during that time I went to see my GP and she thought it might be an ulcer or gastritis so prescribed me Omeprazole.  That appeared to trigger diarrhea which, once I came off the Omeprazole, did not stop.  I went back to the doctors after a few weeks, and that finally led to my coeliac diagnosis, after months of unexplained neurological symptoms, low ferritin and anxiety,which did not seem to have a cause but of course we later realised was all down to coeliac disease. I occasionally take a very small aspirin for a sick migraine which sometimes only responds to aspirin, but it usually leaves me with sore stomach a few days later. I've been told co-codamol is another medication I could take with a sensitive stomach. I was once prescribed it, to use for just a few days. It is not an NSAID, but it contains codeine, which I understand can be addictive so should be used with care.  It can also cause constipation.

      I also take Paracetamol. I haven't taken an NSAID in years since being diagnosed with UC. The can cause UC flares.
