I am newly diagnosed with Celiac and have back pain as a side effect of the Celiac. I am taking Darvocet for the back pain until they figure out the root cause of the back pain. Can anyone verify for me that Darvocet is gluten free? I have tried to ask the pharmacist but have not been able to get a definitive answer. Thanks!!

As with most generics, it varies by mfr. Last I checked, Malinckrodt's version was gluten-free. I keep it around for those really tough days.

Since Darvocet can be habit forming and makes most people whacky, you may want to consider discussing ultram/ultracet with your doc. I use a generic ultram and take my own generic "tylenol" sice that is all ultracet is and I am not going to pay the brand name price for it. It works well except on those nasty weather days or in the middle of winter. I can also vary my dosage from 1-2 a day up to 10-12 a day as needed without having to worry about becoming addicted or having side effects from adjustin the amounts I take. After being on it for a few weeks and seeing how I handled it, I also found that unless I am taking higher amounts I can still function even to drive using the ultram. If I am having a tough enough day to require significant amounts of it or even a Darvocet, I am not up to getting out anyway.

Thanks for the information. As I mentioned, this is new to me and I'm to learn everything I can.

Thanks!

      Is it common to develop a wheat allergy in addition to Celiac Disease?

      Thanks for the post on Vitamin D.  I have been living in south Florida and have been taking moderately higher doses of vit D. I am considering the Mushroom supplements and exporing Real Mushrooms, the brand. Not sure. If you have any thought, please share. I am curious about all things homeopathic.

      About 9% of celiacs react to the protein in oats (avenin) like they do gluten. The dairy protein casein is also known to damage small bowel villi like gluten does in some celiacs. In addition to that, many manufactured gluten-free food products contain difficult to digest polysaccharides like xanthan gum that are famous for causing digestive distress.

      Your  post is excellent. Thank you!! I have been trying to keep my diet "truly gluten free," but as you know, it's a  sneaky allergy, especially if you have a heightened sensitivity. So ironically, and sadly, no medical person told me to stay away from "gluten free oats.".  To my own fault, my lack of awareness led to years of eating  massive bowls of gluten-free oatmeal, sometimes twice a day. Awful right?  I am sure this added to the recovery time. I think I have been super vigilant for the last 12 months, but I wonder. I  haven't gone to a restaurant in a long time. My wife is frustrated with my social situation but truthfully I need to get this condition over with. Thanks again.

      Thank you so much for the caring reply. It really helps to be getting feed back on this. Thank you Celiac.com!  The skin lesions are in the last stage. Some are larger and take more time but much better. I look at photographs from 2 years ago and I shudder.  The stomach issues prevail,  although incrementally improved, even after a stay at MayoClinic this past year. Thank you again

      @Pablohoyasaxa, if your diet is truly gluten free you should not still be experiencing stomach cramps and diarrhea. So, maybe gluten is still getting in there somehow or you have developed other food intolerances which, by the way, is very common in the celiac population. Are you still consuming dairy and oats (even gluten free oats)?
