What A Crazy Night!

I had an allergic reaction yesterday and sent my wife to the store for some benedryl liquid to help with my throat swelling..

I have been gluten free for almost 4 days now and have been feeling sooo much better. The pain in my left side, which I have had for almost 2 years has even disappeared.....Well long story short, she came home with Wal-dryl (walgreens brand benedryl) in cherry flavor. I don't know what was in this stuff but I have never had a reaction to benedryl like this before! Benedryl usually makes me very sleepy, groggy and I usually just pass out, but this stuff gave me crazy thoughts all night. I thought I was losing my mind! I was going from depressed to crazy to depressed to crazy all night. Finally made myself go to sleep and had some of the craziest dreams I have ever had. Woke up about 20 times throughout the night sweating, and having little panic attacks. I think I might have been hallucinating a little bit..Really reminded me of the night terrors I used to get as a child.. Never taking that crap again!

Forgot to mention I was having dry-heaves and the pain in my side feels like its coming back <_<

Sounds like a fun night! I've had hallucinations from benedryl (the name stuff) so I tend to avoid it. ;)

Oh boy! sorry--because I know how this feels.I cannot take Benedryl---or anything really---for this very reason. I get HYPER and shaky and am wide awake with weird anxiety. Not fun. I only tried it once. That was enough!

I know the brand name is safe, because a lot of people on here use it,but did this store brand stuff have hidden gluten in it??

I think there is an explanation for why some celiacs have unusual and strong reactions to medications--even the OTC stuff--but I am not sure what it is. I'll let you know if I find it.

DRINK a LOT of WATER and flush it out.

Sorry you had that happen! I have the same thing happen to me when I take Sudafed. I take benedryl and the walmart brand benedryl and I'm just a little sleepy from it.

      Waiting Gastroenterology review

      Thank you that’s really helpful, hopeful won’t have to have a biopsy.

      Waiting Gastroenterology review

      By RMJ · Posted

      That means the normal range (i.e. not celiac disease) would be a result less than 14.99.  Your result is WAY above that. Some gastroenterologists would diagnose that as celiac disease even without a confirming biopsy because it is more than ten times the top of the normal range.

      Diagnosis and further testing Celiac

      By Redanafs · Posted

      Hi everyone. Back in 2022 I had blood work drawn for iga ext gliadin. Since then I’ve developed worse stomach issues and all other health issues. My doctor just said cut out gluten. He did no further testing. Please see my test results attached. I just need some direction cause I feel so ill and the stomach pain is becoming worse. Can this test show indications for other gastrointestinal diseases?

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Clearly from what you've said the info on Dailymed is much more up to date than the other site, which hasn't been updated since 2017. The fact that some companies might be repackaging drugs does not mean the info on the ingredients is not correct.
