Help with anti-acids

Hi, I just joined the group. I don't have celiacs, but I just got diagnosed with an EXTREME intolerance to gluten and have to eat and do everything like I do have celiacs. My doctor wanted me to start taking anti-acids, but I just don't know which ones I can take that have no traces of gluten. She recommended Zantac or Prilosec OTC, but doesn't know they contain gluten. Anything could help, thank you

HI Tracy,

Welcome!  Here is a list of Open Original Shared Link

Have you had a chance to browse the forums yet? Several people here do not have celiac but have a gluten intolerance, so you will find a lot of support here.

Hi Tracy, I take Zantac with no problems.  Also,  liquid Gaviscon works well for me and is listed on their website as gluten free.

I personally use essential oils and would highly recommend a high quality digestive blend to help.  It would be easy to use and really affordable!  I can give you more info if you'd like it!

I don't know if they have them where you are but Target even has a brand of Ranitidine (generic Zantac) that is labeled as gluten-free. If it is not labeled gluten-free I always call or email the manufacturer. I suffered from heartburn for a long time. I would start with Ranitidine and only move to a PPI (like Prilosec) if that doesn't work. PPI drugs can cause a lot of side effects (they pretty much eliminate your stomach acid completely) and can cause bad rebound acid reflux when you discontinue them. Randitidine is not as strong and works differently so you will not have as big a risk of nutrient deficiencies (but there is still a risk).

      glutenfreedrugs.com

      By JoeBlow · Posted

      For 16 years I have relied on the website glutenfreedrugs.com to determine if a pharmaceutical is gluten-free. The website has been down for at least a week. Does anyone have any information about this outage, the status of the website founder and maintainer pharmacist Steven A. Plogsted or a phone number? I did not get a response for my email to glutenfreedrugs@gmail.com in October of 2022. Steven did respond to my emails in 2012. Thanks.

      Finding out I’m coeliac whilst pregnant

      By Beverage · Posted

      Sounds like you are in the UK. With blood numbers that high, I thought docs in UK would give an official diagnosis without the biopsy. You should ask about that, so you can get support faster.  I'd try to find and print out anything that supports that in your country, get another appointment and take all of it with you. Even in the US now, some docs are doing this, my 19 year old step granddaughter got an official diagnosis here in US with just blood results a few months ago.

      Seeking Gluten-Free Advice for My Trip to South Korea!

      By Beverage · Posted

      Is soy sauce in Korea also made from wheat like it usually is in US? I'd be concerned that even if asking about gluten, they would not be aware of or think of some like that.

      Not Sure What to Think

      By trents · Posted

      That's a good idea. It can at least establish the potential for developing celiac disease and can help people decided between a celiac diagnosis and NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). And it doesn't require a gluten challenge and can be had without a doctor's prescription.

      Anyone had endoscopy with a cold/cough???

      By awright24 · Posted

      I have my endoscopy on Thursday, has anyone had the procedure done with a cough? I don't have a continuous cough, but every now and then throughout the day I have sort of coughing episodes. They are a lot better than they were but I called endoscopy and they said to speak to my gp and my gp got back to me and said I need to ask endoscopy if its ok if I have it done still.  Help!
