I wish dh was a person so I could take it's nuts & wrap them with fishing line & tie it to the trailer hitch of a car & then drive slowly down an asphalt road dragging dh. Then I would stop & get out & take a 38 cal. pistol & shoot dh in one knee & then the other & then I would shoot dh in one elbow & then in the other. And then I would just stand there & watch dh while dh begged me to put it out of it's misery. And I would laugh.

I agree! Especially since last night I was up at 3AM with ice packs and my hairdryer on cool. Ice..hair dryer..repeat....I writhed in pain for 2 days with period cramps broke down and took Aleve and the armpits are worse than ever. Period cramps..gone...dh severe. I guess we have to pick our battles.

Can you find a gluten-free/cf version of Tylenol? It isn't in the same class and supposedly does not provoke DH. I used it an was fine.

Sorry you had a rough night. I think I'd slam down a few shots of something next time and hope for sleep.

Oh dear, I'm feeling for you, I really am. I'm so sorry you're having to go through this. And period cramps on top of the rest. It seems bound & determined to get you one way or another doesn't it?

I think I'd do like Prickly & do a couple 3 shots of something.

Thank you. It's better this morning. There is no corn free Tylenol. Motrin and Advil give me severe intestinal issues. Aleve is pretty much corn free but not sals free at all. I only take it when I am having severe period pain. Like I said, I have to pick my battles. :unsure:

I agree 2 or 8 shots of something and hoping for sleep! Next time. :D

Can you get a gluten-free/cf version from a compounding pharmacy? Many of them have online shops and ship.

I found a compounding pharmacy not too far from my house. They said that I need a RX for corn free Tylenol. My doctors office said corn is gluten free . It is but I can't handle corn. I get intestinal reactions from it almost as bad as gluten. How do we get an RX for this?

Dr office told me to take Tylenol..duh..it has corn though. They said that I am still healing and that it's not the corn in the Tylenol. That is a complete line of BS since I can't have any corn at all and a lot of us celiacs react to corn.

Yep, my compounding pharmacy says even though it's OTC medication the law requires a script for compounding ANYTHING. I just wanted sal free, iodine free, gluten-free Aleve.

Guess I get to go to a doctor & pay to get a script. sad.gif

Gluten-Free ---- that sucks! Are they stoopid?

Call your doctor and ask to speak to the person who ISN'T an idiot? Geez. It's irrelevant why you react - the fact is that you do. Therefore, you need a script for some dang Tylenol without corn.

Good lord.

Thanks everyone!!! Prickly, Vanicream really helped. Great stuff! Why would my corn allergy give me DH is what I am wondering. I get it from gluten and now corn..unless I was glutened and blamed it on the corn I drank in the soda. Who knows..Sometimes celiac is a complete mystery as to what made us sick. :huh:

I think I get reactions from corn also! So awful :(

My rash itches like crazy when I eat it. If u eat corn tortilla chips do u break out??

Can't decide if it's the corn or cause they're so salty?

I don't know if I can live without my chips and salsa too! :o

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Theresa2407 · Posted

      Maybe you have a low  intolerance to Wheat.   Rye, Barley and Malt are the gluten in Celiac disease.  It has always been stated Wheat and Gluten, not just a Wheat intolerance.  Barley will keep me in bed for (2) weeks.  Gut, Migrains, Brain fog, Diahrea.  It is miserable.  And when I was a toddler the doctor would give me a malt medicine because I always had Anemia and did not grow.  Boy was he off.  But at that time the US didn't know anyone about Celiac.  This was the 1940s and 50s.  I had my first episode at 9 months and did not get a diagnosis until I was 50.  My immune system was so shot before being diagnoised, so now I live with the consequences of it. I was so upset when Manufacturers didn't want to label their products so they added barley to the product.  It was mostly the cereal industry.  3 of my favorite cereals were excluded because of this. Malt gives me a bad Gut reaction.

      Thanks much Scott.  Well said, and heeded.   I don't have Celiac, which is fortunate.

      Possible celiac - need advice

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Do you have the results of your endoscopy? Did you do a celiac disease blood panel before that?  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Celiac or not??

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It is odd that your Tissue Transglutaminase (TTG) IgA level has bounced from the "inconclusive" range (7.9, 9.8) down to a negative level (5.3), only to climb back up near the positive threshold. This inconsistency, coupled with your ongoing symptoms of malabsorption and specific nutrient deficiencies, is a strong clinical indicator that warrants a more thorough investigation than a simple "satisfactory" sign-off. A negative blood test does not definitively rule out celiac disease, especially with such variable numbers and a classic symptomatic picture. You are absolutely right to seek a second opinion and push for a referral to a gastroenterologist. A biopsy remains the gold standard for a reason, and advocating for one is the most direct path to getting the answers you need to finally address the root cause of your suffering.

      There is a distinction between gluten itself and the other chemicals and processing methods involved in modern food production. Your experience in Italy and Greece, contrasted with your reactions in the U.S., provides powerful anecdotal evidence that the problem, for some people, may not be the wheat, but the additives like potassium bromate and the industrial processing it undergoes here. The point about bromines displacing iodine and disrupting thyroid function is a significant one, explaining a potential biological mechanism for why such additives could cause systemic health issues that mimic gluten sensitivity. It's both alarming and insightful to consider that the very "watchdog" agencies meant to protect us are allowing practices banned in many other developed countries. Seeking out European flour and your caution about the high-carb, potentially diabeticgenic nature of many gluten-free products are excellent practical takeaways from your research, but I just want to mention--if you have celiac disease you need to avoid all wheat, including all wheat and gluten in Europe.
