Is Famotidine gluten free?
Scott Adams replied to Gloria L's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
A quick search here: https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/ Shows that the Walmart version contains "pregelatinized starch," which could be a concern: https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/drugInfo.cfm?setid=15973213-0e11-4d18-b437-50b0a593cb7b For questions there is a number to call: 1-888-287-1915. Drugs.com says it is "usually... -

Pure coincidence, but we just published a summary of a study on this very topic:

For well over 20 years now prescribing PPI's was the "go to" for many doctors when dealing with almost any digestive issue. I was prescribed them during the worst part of my pre-diagnosis time period. The scary thing was that they did mask some of my symptoms, but I quit them after a short time because they were not the cure to my issues. However, many people...

Hello @Gigi3 and welcome to the forum! It's interesting that you were prescribed Valtrex for DH. I've heard of it prescribed for canker sores and shingles, and it seems to help with itching when I read about it. I wonder why this isn't used more commonly for DH? Dapsone is commonly prescribed, but it has many known bad side effects.

Help with Lab Results
Scott Adams replied to JulieG's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Definitely get your doctor’s opinion on this, but give. everything you’ve shared I thing you’ve got two kids who need to be gluten-free. Be sure to share the study on rates of celiac disease among families with your doctor. They may not have the latest info on this. -
Help with Lab Results
Scott Adams replied to JulieG's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
First, were there any number associated with the top 3 results that say "in range"? Also, it would be very helpful if you can include the scale for each test, so the normal vs. high marks, as different labs use different ranges. I don't know what the normal was for the last test which was high, so please let us know the cut-off for normal vs. high... -

Hi @Tanechka, welcome to the forum! The way you've described things, where you've likely not gone more than a few days without eating significant amounts of gluten, it's unlikely that if you did have celiac disease your blood antibody levels would drop significantly, but they may be lower than they would be if you had been eating it daily for ~12 weeks...

Don’t feel hungry
Scott Adams replied to Amoretti's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I agree, and you should ask your doctor to screen you for it via a blood test: If you don't have insurance, or your doctor won't cooperate, besides getting a new doctor, look into home celiac tests which can be done for around $100. -

Your mother made it to 100...and your 77 amazing! It does sound like she was, at the very least, gluten sensitive. A recent study indicates that first degree relatives of celiacs have a 44% chance of also having it, so the fact that you were diagnosed with it, depending on which side of your family the genetic marker came from, indicates that the odds...

Connection Between Grapes And Gluten?
Scott Adams replied to Flyingmango's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut
Red grapes naturally contain sulphites, which some people are allergic to, and if so they can cause inflammation. Some wineries add more sulphites during processing for various reasons, so this issue can be magnified with red wines. -
Most films I've seen on this topic don't exactly resonate with younger people, and tend to be on the boring side. I think the cinematography, editing, and the style the director used sends a powerful message, and one that will also resonate well with younger people. Great job!

Rosacea and Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO)
Scott Adams commented on Jefferson Adams's article in Skin Problems and Celiac Disease
I recommend you join our forum and post this question there. -
The test is supposedly accurate and can detect gluten you've eaten very recently. I've never tried it or known anyone who tried it.

@DrakeHeyman welcome to the forum! This thread is older, so some of the original posters may not reply, but your symptoms are common among those with untreated celiac disease. Have you been diagnosed with CD, and if so, are you on a gluten-free diet? The good news is that many of the symptoms will disappear in most cases, provided a person with celiac...

School Lunch Programs
Scott Adams replied to tracystone26's topic in Parents, Friends and Loved Ones of Celiacs
I've not heard of the company, but do they offer gluten-free lunches at elementary schools? I've seen colleges make the shift and offer gluten-free options for students, but did not know that other schools might be doing this.
