I am new here, just found out about my gluten problem.

I take herbal tinctures with grain alcohol in them. Especially the company called Eclectic Herbs. Does anyone know what grain alcohols are in these products??

Thank you all so much for your help.

Most Grain alcohol herbal tinctures use Barley in them. Some Rye. I make my own using a grape based alcohol and organic herbs. I have learned the hard way that even some of the Corn based alcohols use Barley for distilling and filtering. :(

hope this helps :)

Some of us can tolerate distilled gluten grain alcohols, some of us can't. I am one who can't. I was made really ill by some tinctures I was given early on in my diagnosis. If they are something you can stop taking I would stop for a bit. After you have been gluten free for a bit and healed you could then try them one at a time and see if you tolerate. However after you have been gluten-free for a bit and healed you may not need them anymore anyway.

      Could you wear a mask at work to reduce your inhalation of flour?

      Sounds like for the good of your own mental health its time to find another living space anyway. It may be best for everyone concerned.

      In the U.S. endoscopies are typically done under light sedation. You wouldn't even be aware of what's going on or remember it.

      Thank you both so much,for the helpful advice on this topic & I am happy that it's not in my head,on my body telling me that something is up with my symptoms & needs a doctor's input on. I have a strong feeling in my gut,that my symptoms are either related to a gluten sensitivity,or even Celiac Disease itself. I am keeping a detailed track of my symptoms,& what foods I ate that triggered them to happen, because I know this will help me to better answer my doctor's questions on my symptoms. I am gonna ask for the blood test,& I am a little nervous lol about maybe having to get the Endoscopy but honestly if the blood test & Endoscopy helps diagnose whatever issues going on with my digestive system & the rest of my body,& why I haven't felt good in what feels like forever,then I will gladly get whatever diagnostic procedure needed. I will keep everyone updated on the doctor appointment & if there ends up being a diagnosis😊
