Macrogol

Hello,

Yesterday i started with Slow FE iron and today i had several diarrhea attacks. I had this in the past with some pain killers and other medicines. I also had this with other brands of iron. I cannot tolerate them.

What i found in the ingredients is that they all have this macrogol (Polyethylene glycol) / Microcrystalline cellulose.

Can this be an allergic reaction to one of the ingredients or does this contains gluten ?

I have alot of problems with taking vitamins also. If they are not liquid then i have alot of stomach upset and diarrhea.

I'm now on my second week gluten free diet but the diarrhea attacks are making me a bit anxious.

It's like colic pain in the left side when i take a pain killer or other supplement that contains macrogol / cellulose or other things like sorbitol.

Maybe some people have this problem also here ?

Kind Regards,

Kris

I don't know about allergies and I don't think that ingredient has gluten, but I know that in general I am very picky with my supplements because of the cellulose in them. My body just doesn't do well with certain types of cellulose. You may be similar. Some give me wicked gas, others give me DH, and it just sort of sucks because these things are never cheap, yet you have to experiment to see which ones you can tolerate. Ultimately, for the big picture of this battle we are fighting, I have realized that some foods I just can't tolerate - it's not because they have gluten or anything. My body just can't process it. Still working on accepting that part. Hope this helps some!!

Thanks for your response. Yes i think i can tolerate some supplements with cellulose and some not. I'm making a list what supplements / medicines gives me this severe pain.

I'm happy i finally found the causes of my problems.

Because getting the label IBS is easy for docs but there are causes for all the problems. And many docs still don't know an answer. They think to much it's all in the head.

Oh my god...that's why iron does that to me too!

That is ridiculous.

Why do they put that in iron. Probably cause most people get Constipated from iron?

What kind of iron next?

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      My dad had an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm. Fortunately, it was discovered during an exam. The doctor could feel my dad's heart beating in his stomach. The aneurysm burst when the doctor first touched it in surgery. Since he was already hooked up to the bypass machine, my dad survived ten more years. Close call!

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      You have an odd story there. To me, the mechanical trigger suggests a mechanical problem and lower leg pain is a classic sciatica symptom. The fact that the clear mechanical linkage is no longer there does not take away from the fact that it was - maybe something shifted and the simple alignment is no longer there. There's also a good chance I am wrong and...

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      Oddly this effect has gone now, just happened yesterday evening, the nerve pain is now back to its usual "unpredictable" random self again - but that was the only time I ever had some mechanical trigger for it, don't know why! There's no (or wasn't) actual pain in my neck - it was inside the leg, but when I looked down, now though, the leg pain just comes...

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      I had MRI scan a few years ago showing everything normal, and now it's no longer triggering the nerve pain when I bow my head today - it only seemed to happen yesterday, and that was the only time it happened! Just seemed weird as no movement has caused my usual nerve pain before. It's normally just random.

      COVID-19 a Possible Trigger for Celiac Disease in Those with Genetic Risk

      This hypothesis certainly lines up with my experience. Avoided getting Covid until August 2022. Celiac diagnosis three months later, and they think they caught it early (not a ton of damage in my EGD). I'd suspected the connection before, so it's nice to see researchers are interested in this question.

      My dad had an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm.  Fortunately, it was discovered during an exam.  The doctor could feel my dad's heart beating in his stomach.  The aneurysm burst when the doctor first touched it in surgery.  Since he was already hooked up to the bypass machine, my dad survived ten more years.  Close call! Triple A's can press on the nerves in the spinal cord causing leg pain.  I'm wondering if bowing the head might have increased the pressure on an aneurysm and then the nerves.   https://gulfcoastsurgeons.com/understanding-abdominal-aortic-aneurysm-symptoms-and-causes/ Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Presenting as a Claudication https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4040638/

The fact that the clear mechanical linkage is no longer there does not take away from the fact that it was - maybe something shifted and the simple alignment is no longer there. There's also a good chance I am wrong and it's something else entirely. @Scott Adams's mention of shingles is interesting. It seems possible but unlikely to me, but who knows. However, I am writing here to reinforce the idea of getting the shingles vaccine. Ask anyone who has ever had shingles and they will bend your ear telling you how bad it is. I watched my wife go through it and it scared the bejeebers out of me. Even if you had the chicken pox vaccine, you really want to get the shingles vaccine.

      Very good pizzeria with small dining room in back of the restaurant. The owner's daughter has celiac & they have gluten free pizza & a gluten free menu. Some items from the regular menu can be made gluten free also. They have a lunch menu which we ordered from & my chicken with spinach & mozzarella over gluten-free penne was delicious. They also have Tuesday night pasta specials & Thursday night chicken pasta specials. We plan on going back for dinner soon.
