The best way to check on gluten statis of meds is with your pharmacist. They need to note on your records that you are celiac. Double check when you pick up the script that they checked. Antibiotics can cause D so if you tolerate when you start taking the script if you can eat yogurt eat some daily as it may prevent antibiotic related D.

I generally go straight to the manufacturer.  The major brands, and some of the larger generic companies will answer questions.  If you go to an small pharmacy like I do that is in a buying group, the brand of a Rx generic can change every time you get it filled depending on the best deal the coop can get.  I personally would discourage taking yogurt with antibiotics.  I did that when I had a strep throat, and I kept getting worse and worse.  When I went back to the dr. with it turned into bronchitis, he told me to not eat dairy as it coats the gut and interferes with absorption.  You can take a probiotic capsule between doses to get the good bacteria without risking coating your gut. Also, tetracycline family drugs you need to avoid dairy and calcium supplements because it interferes with absorption.  I am not a dr. but I have long experience with respiratory infections and their antibiotics.  Some pharmacy printout instructions will mention foods to avoid; others do not.

Honestly, I don’t take any chances with medications. I only take meds where the manufacturers can absolutely assure me they are gluten free. Teva makes a gluten free amoxicillin which I have used with no problem.

      Welcome to the forum, @JenFur! You must be relatively new to the celiac journey. I wish it were as simple as just having to cut out gluten and all our gut issues magically disappear. It is very common for those with celiac disease to develop intolerance/sensitivity to other foods. Often it is because the protein structure of some other foods resembles that of gluten. Sometimes it is because damage the damage done to the gut lining by celiac disease wipes out cells that produce enzymes needed to break down those foods. Sometimes it is because the "leaky gut syndrome" associated with celiac disease causes the immune system to incorrectly identify other food proteins as threats or invaders. The two most common non-gluten foods that cause trouble for a lot of celiacs are dairy and oats. But soy, eggs and corn are also on that list. Sometimes these non-gluten food intolerances disappear with time and the healing of the villous lining of the small bowel.

      I love popcorn but it doesn't love me.  Right now my gut hurts and I am bloated and passing gas.  Am I just super sensitive. I thought popcorn was gluten free 🤔

      Welcome to the forum, @marinke! "Type 1a diabetes (DM1) is associated with an increased risk of celiac disease (celiac disease) (1)." from: https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/35/10/2083/38503/IgA-Anti-transglutaminase-Autoantibodies-at-Type-1 "The prevalence of celiac disease (celiac disease) in children with type 1 diabetes (T1D) is 5.1%, and it is often asymptomatic (1)." from: https://diabetesjournals.org/care/article/48/2/e13/157637/Diagnostic-Outcomes-of-Elevated-Transglutaminase So, this is 5x the rate found in the general population.

      Hi James47, You are less than 2 years into your recovery from Celiacs.  Tell us more about the problems you are having. Do you just want to get rid of belly fat or are you still having symptoms like gas and bloating.    For symptoms you may need to change your diet and take various supplements that you cannot adsorb from the foods you eat because of the damage caused by the autoimmune reaction in your small intestine.

      My daughter (4 years old) has type 1 diabetes since she was 1. Therefore, every year a screening is done. We live in the Netherlands. Every year the screening was fine. This year here ttg is positive, 14, >7 is positive. IGA was in range. Could the diabetes cause this positive result? Or the fact that she was sick the weeks before the brood test?
