I don't think I would take it, but that would be great for people like my dad who refuse to acknowledge they have it, because they wouldn't be able to eat there favorite crap or drink their beer.

This Zonullin sounds good for celiacs to take as a precaution ..for those who eat out or at relatives houses....eat gluten-free, but in case they ingest gluten unknowingly...like at a wedding or event....not for purposefuly eating of gluten. It would appear to be a good back up plan and my husband is looking forward to this being available. It would provide peace of mind when you're found in a bad gluten circumstance.

This is my thought too. It be nice to let my son eat a supposedly gluten-free meal at a restaurant with out worries.

I agree with Deb and Vincent--it would be great to eat out again once in a while.

I hope it's something we can just take occasionally if we choose to, not something we have to take every day to build it up in our bodies. I don't know if I'd do that. At least not until a few years have passed and the FDA doesn't pull it off the shelves because of side effects like they have with so many medications in recent years.

And eating out... Could you imagine just being able to take the croutons off the salad?

Nancy:

The drug is meant to be taken before a gluten meal (kind of like a lactaid). I don't believe it "builds up" long term in our bodies. So yes, I believe you could just take it when you wanted to.

It stops gluten from crossing a barrier that it shouldn't (by closing the barrier), thus, preventing the autoimmune response from occurring.

      Rosacea

      You may want to go to a dermatologist to see if it might instead be dermatitis herpetiformis, which is the skin version of celiac disease. Here are some articles on Rosacea and CD:

      Iron supplements - Bowel upsets

      By trents · Posted

      Concerning dosage, I found this: https://patient-info.co.uk/sodium-feredetate-190-mg-5ml-oral-solution-88092/summary-of-medicine-characteristics Age 6 – 24 months: 12.5 mg Age 2 – 5 years: 20–30 mg Age 6 – 11 years: 30 – 60 mg   But these dosages are in mg, not ml.

      Iron supplements - Bowel upsets

      By sh00148 · Posted

      Thank you. I’ve also just looked on the NICE website and it recommends a much lower dose for her age. She’s currently take 7.5 ml in total a day and the recommendation is 4ml and if not tolerated she should try alternate days. It may explain why she’s has such a loose bowel. I’m not concerned about the black poo, but more the frequency and consistency. It’s not fair on her. She has been saying she feels a little sick today so that may be a side effect… I never know with her as she had such bad tummy pains and issues before she was diagnosed. Her levels were at the highest possible and she was vomiting regularly so she often talks about sick.

      Iron supplements - Bowel upsets

      By trents · Posted

      It is "chelated" to improve absorption but not buffered from what I can tell. What she is taking is an appropriate pediatric iron supplement product. By the way, it is normal for iron supplementation to turn poo black. That is not a worry per se. But iron supplementation can cause an upset tummy. Iron can irritate the mucosal lining of the tummy and the gut. Is she complaining of pain or discomfort? The irritation is probably causing her to frequent toileting. Check with your physician about a buffered iron product for children. "Slow iron" products (you can get them over the counter) are buffered and help reduce irritation. Not sure if they are appropriate in dosage, however, for children and if you cut them you destroy the buffered coating. But I certainly would get her B12 levels checked if you haven't.
