Anyone used this?

 

It says it is gluten free. GI doc suggested it for continued pain on right side. Looks like it is mainly peppermint oil.

Hi Ironictruth,

 I haven't tried it.  I think i prefer peppermint tea myself from the sound of this stuff.  Nothing terrible about it I suppose, but peppermint tea at least tastes good and warms me up in  the winter.

I totally ended up getting Traditional Medicinals peppermint tea instead and am sold.

That's good.  Celestial Seasonings make a good one also.  Tea up! :)

My mother had some and offered so I just took two last night for the first time shortly before bed because of my increasing stomach pains because accidentally getting gluten that dinner and I also took my prescribed Lorazepam as needed because I was getting a panic attack too because of my existing anxiety and bipolar disorder. So combined it seems to calm it down a bit if not some. Will need more opportunities to take again if gluten to reach a better conclusion for myself but of course don't want to ever get gluten again.

Welcome to our forum!

This thread is rather old.  The original posters might not answer.

I'm assuming you've been diagnosed with Celiac Disease.  Please remember that Celiac Disease causes malabsorption because of the damage to the villi in the small intestine.  The damaged villi can't absorb all the vitamins and minerals that you need.  This can affect your brain function as well as your body functions.

Before I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease, I suffered severe vitamin and mineral deficiencies which caused me to have depression, anxiety, OCD, bipolar disorder and Wernicke's Encephalopathy among other things.  Not one of my doctors checked for vitamin and mineral deficiencies.  

I suggest you ask your doctor to check for vitamin and mineral deficiencies.  These deficiencies will affect your brain function.

I recovered by supplementing the vitamins and minerals I was not absorbing.  Here are some articles that explain more....

And...

Hope this helps!  Keep us posted on your progress!

Thank you so much Kitty! Ya I just updated my profile and joined rather late since I was diagnosed in 2017 and fully healed a year later because of following the gluten free diet! I was lacking sleep and didn't take my morning meds because of needing to flip my sleeping schedule (since I work nights) to contact workers compensation since I recently recovered from covid!

@ScrAlex,

We're glad to have you here now!

And very glad you beat Covid!

I find Oolong tea helpful when I get anxious or upset tummy.  I like Twinings brand.  I order it online from that big a store. 🐱

      Gluten migranes at night

      I'll ask the same question that knitty kitty asked? On what basis did your Dr arrive at the conclusion that you have gluten intolerance? But let's be clear about terminology because the terms "gluten intolerance" and "gluten sensitivity" are typically used interchangeably out there in the wild and both are used indiscriminately to speak of two different...

      Gluten migranes at night

      Interesting....my Dr says since migranes are my only symptom she says I have gluten intolerance. I have stopped eating gluten. However, it seems to sneak in from time to time. Example: I ate canned mushrooms! Never thought canned mushrooms could have gluten, but they did. I had a migrane for 3 nights straight. Or I eat out, I think I am getting gluten free...

      Gluten migranes at night

      What medicine did they give you for migraines? Does it help much? I also suffer from migraines and am on one med for prevention and another for relief after onset. Many times, my headaches start during the night when I'm sleeping but not always. Have you cut back on gluten consumption of late? As knitty kitty explained, you must have been eating generous...

      Night time migranes

      Welcome to the forum, @Debado, Migraines at night can be caused by high levels of histamine. Histamine Intolerance can cause physical symptoms like migraines. Foods contain histamine. Our bodies make histamine, an important neurotransmitter. Our bodies naturally produce more histamine at night as part of our circadian rhythm, our sleep-wake cycles...

      Night time migranes

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Debado, Migraines at night can be caused by high levels of histamine.  Histamine Intolerance can cause physical symptoms like migraines. Foods contain histamine.  Our bodies make histamine, an important neurotransmitter.  Our bodies naturally produce more histamine at night as part of our circadian rhythm, our sleep-wake cycles.   Some foods like gluten and nuts contain high histamine themselves or trigger our bodies to produce more histamine.  A low histamine diet is helpful, cutting out high histamine foods and histamine-release triggering foods.   Our bodies can breakdown a certain amount of histamine, but sometimes our bodies cannot keep up with the amount of histamine needing to be broken down, and can be overwhelmed by the amount of histamine resulting in Histamine Intolerance and health problems like migraines.   Vitamins C, B12, Pyridoxine B6 and thiamin B1 help lower histamine levels.  Our bodies use these vitamins to make an enzyme DOA (diamond oxidase) that breaks down histamine.  DAO from beef or pork kidney is an over-the-counter supplement that can be taken.   Riboflavin B2 is very helpful for relieving migraines.   Have you been diagnosed with Celiac Disease or suspect you have it?   Happy Holidays!

      Guidance on next steps after the lab tests

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @ABP2025, Have you thought about having a DNA test to check for known Celiac genes?    I do hope you will make sure that you are getting sufficient gluten to provoke an autoimmune response strong enough that the antibodies can be measured in the blood.  See article below. Celiac disease affects the absorption of nutrients,  including vitamins and minerals.  Your symptoms may be associated with thiamine deficiency.   Migraines and peripheral neuropathy, phimosis (yes, even this), and white spots on the brain are seen in thiamine deficiency.  Celiac disease disrupts the absorption of all the essential nutrients, but thiamine can be quickly depleted, in as little as three days.  Thiamine deficiency can occur even if blood tests show normal levels.  Thiamine deficiency can affect antibody production.

      Night time migranes

      By Debado · Posted

      Anybody ever heard of getting a migrane from gluten and coconut oil ONLY at night?   If I consume gluten or coconut oil, even in the morning,  I will get a migrane. But not until half way thru the night. I don't get this. Why at night? Why not right after I eat?

      Early on,  DQ2 and DQ8 were the primary genes that have been connected to the potential to develop celiac genes but more recent genetic research suggests there may be more.
