Lactose-Free Domperidone?

Yes, I know that lactose is not gluten, but is anyone familiar with the ingredients of generic versions of domperidone? I was wondering if anyone found a lactose-free version of domperidone in perhaps a quest to find out whether there was gluten. I know that Motilium has lactose.

Thanks!

some compounding pharmacies can get you domperidone, and they can formulate it without lactose. you may have to call around and have it shipped, however.

I was just looking into this today for myself! Open Original Shared Link is gluten- and lactose-free. Not sure if it's available to you or not - I'm in Canada.

Just curious if this med is available in the US? I could be wrong on this but I believe I was just reading that it can be used in the treatment of gastroparesis which I have. But that the FDA is looking into it and at present it is not available here. Or maybe I am confusing it with another med?

Hello Juliebove. I'm newly diagnosed with celiac disease, but have been taking domperidone since I was diagnosed with gastroparesis last November. It is not approved in the US so I have to order from Canada, but get a prescription from my GI doctor. I like domperidone because it has less serious side effects than the other gastroparesis meds currently on the market in the US. You should look into this as an option for your gastroparesis.

Good luck!

      Virus, celiac disease or both?

      By trents · Posted

      Early guidelines from years ago concerning D3 supplementation was unduly conservative. There was fear of toxicity in over-supplementing because D3 is a fat soluble vitamin and not a water soluble vitamin. More recent studies have shown we can supplement safely at considerably higher levels for extended periods. But yes, 50,000 IU would not be safe over an extended period of time. That much is a kick start dose.

      @knitty kitty I had an injury from assuming I could do work outs at the gym like I did in my 20s 😏. it didn’t work in my favor. My orthopedic doctor told me to go on 50,000IU /per week for 4-6 weeks for a boost and then do a maintenance. I took 2 and got nervous to take any more, it seemed so high to me. About 7  months later I had a blood test revealing that my Vit D levels are lower than normal. I started taking vit D supplements-4000IU./a day now. (the natural garden of life ones) I had a friend whose levels were low and she was having a mental breakdown.  My B12 levels were right in the middle of the range.

      Confused About Results

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Ginger38, Have you been checked for nutritional deficiencies, besides iron?   Celiac disease causes inflammation which results in nutritional deficiencies.   Iron needs Thiamine and the other B vitamins to make new red blood cells.   Iodine and thiamine deficiencies affect the thyroid.  The thyroid is one organ that uses lots of thiamine.   Vitamin D deficiency leads to hormonal problems, including menstrual problems.  Vitamin D needs Thiamine to activate it.   Heart palpitations and chest pain after gluten exposure can be evidence of poor digestion and a drop in available thiamine.  Consumption of any  foods high in carbohydrates can cause a drop in thiamine.  This is called high...

      Confused About Results

      By Ginger38 · Posted

      Okay, Thank you!! I already have thyroid problems and my total iron binding capacity is high which usually means low iron but everything else was normal, lower end but “normal” my hair falls out and my nails won’t grow without breaking but nothing is being treated iron wise.  I have started having palpitations and chest pain,  both of which seem to be attributed to exposure to gluten. I’ve also been having a lot of nightmares, anxiety, numbness and tingling, brain fog, spotting between cycles and acne. Idk if all those are relatable to gluten / celiac but I’m concerned  I’ve finally tipped my body/ immune system into a bad place. Is there anyway to detox and heal faster or treat...

      Waiting on biopsy after positive bloodwork, but also not really believing this is real

      @Alibu, Start with this study... High-dose thiamine supplementation improves glucose tolerance in hyperglycemic individuals: a randomized, double-blind cross-over trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23715873/ "Conclusion/interpretation: Supplementation with high-dose thiamine may prevent deterioration in fasting glucose and insulin, and improve glucose tolerance in patients with hyperglycemia. High-dose thiamine supplementation may prevent or slow the progression of hyperglycemia toward diabetes mellitus in individuals with impaired glucose regulation." They used 100 mg of thiamine three times a day.  They don't say which kind of thiamine was used. ...
