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?

      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.

      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.

      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.
