i waas prescribed promethazine to treat the nausea i am having from getting glutened (from a non gluten free medication i was prescribed) and due to that mishap I'm scared of having the same thing happen again. Is ZYDUS manufactured promethazine safe?? I called the number but theyre closed and i need it now pleasae help me.

i saw a lot of people on this forum have said they take it but idk which manufacturers are and are not safe because sometimes it makes a difference. :(

The easiest thing for you to do would be to call a 24 hr pharmacy in your area and tell the pharmacist you have coeliac and cannot have medication with gluten and are concerned about [give them name/brand of the medication]. Could they advise you? Then as soon as you are able, inform your regular pharmacist of your condition. They will place it in their database and thereafter, they will inform you (and your doctor) if any medications contain gluten.

I looked it up on the list

Open Original Shared Link and don't see that maufacturer listed. You'll have to call them.

I had to check on a med with Mylan pharmecuticals. Since it was weekend I sent them an amail. I got a call on the following Monday with assurance of what was in the med. The list I linked to doesn't have everything listed, just those that they have checked.

thanks guys. if anyone ever sees this in the future, the zydus mfg promethazine is safe. i called the pharmacist adn they said they thought it was (pharmacists are iffy though bc theyve given me non gluten free ones 3x this year which is ridiculous.) i contacted the guy who runs the glutenfreedrugs website and he said its safe and just to triple check i called zydus and they said it's safe. what a relief!

      High TTG-IgG and Normal TTG-IgA

      Thank you for the clarification and for taking the time to explain the terminology so clearly. I really appreciate your insight, especially the distinction between celiac disease and NCGS and how anemia can point more toward celiac. This was very helpful for me.

      Son's legs shaking

      Hi, My 7 year daughter has complained of this in the past, which I thought were part of her glutening symptom, but more recently I have come to figure out it's part of her histamine overload symptom. This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine...

      Son's legs shaking

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin. He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her...

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified...

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you...

      Hi,  My 7 year daughter has complained of this in the past, which I thought were part of her glutening symptom, but more recently I have come to figure out it's part of her histamine overload symptom. This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine intolerance". I wish I had known of this at the time of her diagnosis, life would have been much easier.  I hope you are able to figure out.

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin.  He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her kitchen but I thought it would be ok.  Next day and for a few after his behavior is awful. Hitting, rude, disrespectful. Mainly he kept saying his legs were shaking. Is this a gluten exposure symptom that anyone else gets? Also the bad behavior?

The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.
