Clindamycin, so frustrated.

I have been recently diagnosed with Celiac. And have been working so very hard and diligently to be as gluten free as possible. I started my gluten free diet Feb. 11th. And have slowly felt somewhat better. It is not the only AI issue I'm facing but the one I'm trying to tackle at the moment.  I am also fighting for the last few months an ongoing inner ear and sinus and tonsillitis infections. My ENT placed me on Clindamycin 300mg 3x day for 5 days as I'm having my tonsils and adnoids out soon to help with this ongoing battle. I made it to day four and looked like I was six months pregnent. My mouth hurt and had sores and I couldn't figure out why I wasn't eating gluten I had checked all my labels again.  Went to my gp she checked my antibiotic and sure enough it had a gluten binder.  I hadn't thought to check it cause it was a gel capped med. My mistake and it won't happed again. I still can nearly eat much and my poor stomach hurts beyond belief. It'll take some time. Got some probiotics and some bone broth going in my system. Its amazing how that sneeky devil is in so many things. Sorry had to vent. Thankyou for listening.

There are clindamycin oral caps without gluten.  G & W Labs makes one (according to the NIH).  Your pharmacist should be able to find and order what you need.

So, was it a generic then?  I just recently found out that most generic medications have a wheat based binder in them.  The article I read specified Generics.

This is not true (according to NIH, Pharmacist's Letter, etc.)  Be careful what you read in just one article.  I don't want people to worry that all their generic meds contain gluten.  Most do not.  It is best to always call the manufacturer first though just to be certain.  Better to trust the manufacturer than "one article".

Thank you to the person who researched and posted that G & W labs is gluten-free. I just started taking it. The starches and fillers should really be a part of the labeling to protect our health.

      Keep in mind that you might also have a dietary sensitivity to something else. Get into the habit of reading ingredients lists.

      Did I outgrow celiac

      By BoiseNic · Posted

      I would avoid gluten at all cost. Sometimes there will be no noticeable damage, but it is still causing an autoimmune response that will manifest in some way or another eventually. Throwing up from a macaroon sounds like something other than celiac disease also.

      Thanks, Scott! I appreciate you looking that up for me. Perhaps that will be good enough for someone but not for me...super sensitive dermatitis herpetiformis here. I don't take any chances that I can avoid. ~Pam

      Did I outgrow celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, Liamclarke! We have reports from time to time of people whose celiac disease seems to go into remission. Often, however, it doesn't last. There is also the question of whether or not symptoms or lack of them tell the whole story. Many of us are "silent" celiacs who have very minor or no symptoms when consuming gluten yet slow, insidious damage is still going on in the gut. The only way to tell for sure in your case would be to be retested after going back on gluten for a period of weeks or months such that sufficient time has elapsed for antibody levels in the blood to build up to detectable levels. And I would certainly advise you to do that and not take anything for granted.
