    Thanks for writing so quickly. I had a bad reaction to a medicine last weekend, so I am being very careful. I'll check with Pfizer on Monday. I just looked up Mylanta and may try that. Anyone take it?

    I've been reading all the posts about Rolaids and there seems to be some confusion as to whether they truly are gluten free. Some people have mentioned cross contamination and some of the ingredients are questionable. Has anyone called the company? I'm going to call them on Monday but need an antacid now. I get very severe stomach pain if I get glutened...

    Thanks for writing back, guys. I've had an endoscopy recently and it came back negative. My esophagus is healthy, as is my stomach. I believe what I have is recurrent heartburn. I can't get in to see my GI doctor until November, so we've been playing phone tag and leaving messages for each other. I've tried taking over the counter antacids and prilosec...

    Hello, I've been having heartburn each day and my doctor put me on prilosec. I noticed on the box that it should be taken for 14 days. I am still suffering from heart burn and would like to take something. I tried Protonix but the side effects are making me feel more sick than I was before. Does anyone take Prilosec everday and how long have you used...

    Thanks for your advice everyone. I am currently taking multivitamins and calcium supplements and I do get a lot of rest. Rikki Tikki, it does seem to make sense that our immune systems can't fight off infections as well because we've been sick. I will have to ask my doctor about that.

    Hey everyone, Ever since I've been diagnosed with celiac disease, I have been sick with stomach viruses and the flu more often. I am rarely completely healthy and when I do get sick, I seem to stay ill longer than my family and friends.. I am curious if anyone has found any information on whether having celiac disease decreases immunity and lengthens...

    Hi guys, thanks for writing back. I have been tested for food allergies and the only thing that came up as an intolerance was soy. That's not in the bread. I have a dedicated toaster, so I don't think that's it either. I've been raking my brain and can't seem to discover what it is about the bread. Everything else I've been eating is also gluten free...

    Thanks for writing back so quickly. I'll try what you mentioned.

    I suspect I was glutened from the Whole Foods white sandwich bread I've been eating. I've been keeping a log, and over the past 6 days I've had toast 4 times. Within 2-3 hours I've been horribly sick. On the days when I didn't eat the toast, I was starting to feel better. I know they have a dedicated bakery, but I suspect I've been glutened from this...

    I am in need of some serious comfort foods. I believe I was unintentionally glutened a few hours ago and I'm not sure what to eat. What do you eat when you get glutened? How long does it take for your stomach pain and nausea to subside? Thanks, Jen

    Thanks for your replies. I can't imagine that gluten would be added to wine, but you never know. Have you had any reactions to wine? Thanks, Jen

    Hi, I've been gluten-free for about a year and would like to try drinking some white wine. I'm not sure whether there are some additives I should know about. Is all wine gluten-free? Can you suggest some gluten-free brands? Thank you, Jen

    Hey everyone, I was prescribed Naproxen by Teva and when I tried to call the company there was a message saying that their line has been disconected. I've checked glutenfreedrugs.com and the Wheaton website and the Teva Naproxen is not listed. Has anyone verified whether it is gluten free? Thanks.

    I went to an allergist to be tested for food allergies. The allergist I went to was affiliated with my ENT, for some reason. I was tested for all foods over the period of 3 weeks. I suspected I had a soy intolerance and was always very nauseous. I have an HMO, so I needed to get a referral from my PCP. Perhaps you can ask your PCP more about the testing...

    Lisa, I'm so sorry you're feeling horrible. I almost didn't finish graduate school because I was so sick. I know how hard it is to go to classes and feel awful. when is your doctor appointment? I really hope you can find out the source of your pain soon.
  16. Jen H
    Thanks for sharing your stories everyone. Sometimes I feel like people just don't understand what I am going through, but I know you all do. You live it everyday. I was finally diagnosed with celiac after being sick for a year and a half. I suspect I've had it all my life, but major symptoms only came out more recently. Over the past year, I've also...

    As for gluten free medications, I usually check the website www.glutenfreedrugs.com. I checked for you and Sprintec seems to be gluten free. You may want to call the company just in case. I know it's a pain, but I called the cosmetic companies of all the products I use to verify whether they're gluten-free.

    Hi Pellegr, Thanks for the recipe! I'll give it a shot this weekend. All Cabot cheese is gluten free and lactose free. It's the lactose in dairy that bothers me. I've never used corn starch before. Which brand do you use?
  19. Jen H
    I know that Amoxicilin made by Teva Pharmaceuticals is gluten-free. I called the company.

    Hey Carrie Boo, I had many of the same symptoms you mentioned before I was diagnosed. I was actually in your same shoes. I had to wait to be tested as well and REALLY wanted to start eating gluten free because it was making me feel better. So I did. I had to go back to eating gluten for the test which was hard. I was pretty sick. The good news is...

    Hey everyone, I'd like to make baked macaroni but don't know how much of each ingredient I should use. I'd like to use Tinkydada elbows, Pacific almond milk, and Cabot cheese. I cannot have any gluten, soy, or dairy. Any ideas?

    ARCHIVED Yasmin

    Jen H posted a topic in Related Issues & Disorders

    Hi everyone, I'm still trying to find a good birth control pill and would like to take Yasmin. I can't find much info about it because it's relatively new. It's not on any of the gluten-free drug lists. Has anyone ever contacted the company to verify whether it is gluten-free? I can't get through to them. Thanks for your help. Hi guys, Just got...

    I like Pacific Vanilla Almond milk. I drink it straight up.

    Chantelle, How are you feeling? Did you discover anything at the follow up appointment?
  25. Jen H
    Rice bread is safe. Whole Foods makes some good ones and I hear Kinnickinick does too (haven't tried them yet). I agree with sticking to a very simple diet until you know more-fruits, veggies, plain meats. Let us know if you have more questions.
