My celiac husband is soooo sensitive to medicine. He was given an antibiotic for an infection in his hand that made him sick so the doctor gave him a shot instead and put him on another antibiotic. This one made him so sick he went to the ER last night. This isn't the first time meds have made him really sick. Is medicine intolerance normal for celiacs and if so how do you get around it? And why does this happen?

Thanks for you help!

How long has he been gluten free? Sounds like his insides aren't fully healed yet which means he's still having trouble absorbing meds and vitamins.

It's just gonna take time. At least for me it did. Maybe someone else on here can give you better advise.

I hope he gets to feeling better.

How did your husband get sick? More diarrhea? Most antibiotics kill both the bad and good gut bacteria. So people who take antiobiotics can get diarrhea easily. Taking probiotics during and after antibiotic treatment can prevent antibiotic induced diarrhea.

Also I check the ingredients of any prescribed medicine before I fill the prescription. Because I have 6 diagnosed food allergies as well as gluten intolerance, I 'google' the inert and active ingredients for any drug my doc prescribes. If I find the drug has my allergens, I ask for a substitute drug or get the drug compounded without the allergen ingredient.

I feel for your hubby because I have a difficult time with medicines, too. Every single one I have tried in the past 3 years (and they tried to give me everything) has made me sick to my stomach, given me heart palps or caused enough vomiting and D to dehydrate me and send me to the ER.

Oddly, before the celiac was triggered, I could TAKE AND EAT ANYTHING!! Bummer .

This is most unfortunate because I have chronic pain it would be nice to use a muscle relaxer or pain med. sigh...

As has been suggested, perhaps when the gut heals, meds will be less troublesome for us!! :) .

I would suggest he take some PROBIOTICS after this dose of antibiotics as well!! That gut flora will be unbalanced for sure.

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      I put on over 12kg by eating protein with every meal, 3 to 5 times a day. Eggs, Chicken, Tuna, Turkey etc. I stay away from too much red meat as it can be inflammatory. Scott is correct. I've come across a bunch of Coeliac PT's on Tiktok and Instagram. They all say the same thing, the key is getting enough protein and consistency.

      Build muscle back feeling weak?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It's great to hear that eliminating gluten has helped alleviate symptoms like eye burning, which is a significant and positive change. The first and most important step is to ensure you're consuming enough protein throughout the day to support muscle repair and growth, which can be challenging with a busy schedule. Since you're already physically active at work, adding focused strength training just 2-3 times per week can make a major difference. Bodyweight exercises like squats, push-ups (modified if needed), and lunges, or using resistance bands at home, are excellent, efficient places to start. Remember, consistency with these short sessions and prioritizing post-workout recovery, including good sleep and hydration, are just as crucial as the workouts themselves. It's a smart, gradual process at any age.

      suggest gluten free food

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Trader Joe's carries a good variety of affordable gluten-free foods like bagels, hamburger buns, pasta, etc. I like Franz Gluten Free bread, which is available at my local Costco. Food For Life and Little Northern Bakehouse (advertisers here) also make excellent gluten-free breads. Costco also sells gluten-free pizzas, crackers, gravy, etc.
