Gas-X...

A member on here told me that Gas-x gel caps are gluten-free and since I'm still have issues with bloating and gas, I decided to buy a pack. They're ultra strength, and I've even tried taking 2, and find pretty much no difference. Has this happened for anyone else? I'm just remembering now I read somewhere that benadryl can help? Would that be more effective??

Seriously in major discomfort, here!!! Can't wait for my insides to settle down.

I take Mylanta original liquid for gas. It sounds like you have been glutened! Peppermint tea also helps with gas. You can also try benadryl or Pepto. Don't take the gasx, mylanta and pepto together though.

Check your Gas X box carefully. I thought I didn't buy a package because it contained wheat.

GasX doesn't have gluten

For another fix for the problem....take a warm to hot bath. Soak in warm water as this equalizes the pressure and the pain will be relieved. After a little bit, things will start to pass! Really..it works!

Just had some peppermint tea, which was nice to sip, we'll see if it helps. Unfortunately, I only have a shower :( I miss bathtubs VERY much, especially when dealing with all these symptoms! And the heat bags that I had were stuffed with wheat LOL But I think I have a regular old hot water bottle somewhere.

it was my understanding that some types of gasX (like tums) had gluten while others did not... but i could be wrong.

cant remember which type of gas x i bought that was safe.. but anyways- gas X kind of helps me- but sometimes i gotta take 3- and sometimes it takes a little while to work... but if im having severe gas pain- its not gonna do much

you might have some additional intolerances that u need to avoid to minimize the gas.. maybe legumes, or fructose/fructans or dairy ?? im starting to realize that i have to lay off some of these gluten-free starchy substitutes- actually having pain right now <_<

      The biopsy looks for damage to the mucosal lining of the small bowel from the inflammation caused by celiac disease when gluten is ingested. Once you remove gluten from the diet, inflammation subsides and the mucosal lining begins to heal.

      Our support groups in Iowa have tried for years to educate doctors and resource sites like this one.  We have held yearly conferences with continued education classes.   We have brought in Dr. Murray, Dr. Fasano, Dr. Green and Dr. elliott.  In those many years we may have had 2 doctors attend.  We sent them information, with no response.  I talked to my personal doctor and she said their training for Celiac was to show them a skinny man in boxer shorts and a huge stomach.  Saying if you see this, it is Celiac.  If it isn't in their playbook then they don't care.  Most call it an allergy with no mention of our immune system.  There is so much false information on the internet.  Then people don't understand why they can't get well and are acquiring more immune diseases. I mention this site to everyone.  Scott has working hard for the Celiac community.

      If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:

      You might also consider a low iodine diet as iodine is know to exacerbate dermatitis herpetiformis. But be careful with that as well as there are health problems that can accrue from iodine deficiency.
