Do you think it’s harmful to take renetidene when l get an attack of Gastritus

? Hello. So l realised that gluten was making me throw up and that l was constantly losing my stomach lining .... 3 to 4 days at a a time.
For 18years l have taken meds, first Gaviscon (1998) then later (2011) l was put on Omeprezol that stopped working so then l went on Lansaprasol that also stopped working.

I was told l had H-pylori. This was treated and it worked as my acid reflux stopped. (Had it bad for 13 years)

The Gastritus remained and was getting worse sometimes 3 out of 7 days a week l had it. The last straw was a bowl of cous cous. It wiped me out for 1.5 weeks. I decided to completely stop eating gluten. Then l just got better and better. 6 weeks after stopping gluten my doctor tested me for Celiacs and it was negative. This was last July 2019. I asked for an appointment with a specialist. It’s coming up at the end of April. 
Anyway l seem to be even more intolerant than before.
ie: 1 single crisp that l forgot to check gave me 4 days of Gastritus.

It’s so painful ? l can’t work or concentrate. I have to eat as l am a Insulin dependant diabetic. 
 

My issue is l am in the habit of taking 300mg of renetidine when l first feel the pain. It seems to just halt all my symptoms. Then l just look after my stomach really well to get it back to normal. If it twinges or is bad l may have 300 for two days in a row. 
 

Does anyone else do this?

Do you think it’s ok to do?

l feel like l don’t have a choice it’s all that works. If l don’t take it, my Gastritus goes crazy. I can’t work or sleep... 

Also: Has anyone heard about Renetidine being recalled.

Thanks in Advance ??Nat

I'm not sure if they are now making ranitidine that's safe or not. 

However, I think PPIs or Prilosec is the most popular method treat reflux in celiac disease.

I no longer have reflux. I just loose my stomach lining a couple of hours after even injecting the smallest amount of Gluten. Also PPIs stopped working on me years ago!

Well, there you go.  Avoid consuming gluten at all costs.  Taking medications that do not get to the root cause of your problem, might not be a good idea.  

I have autoimmune gastritis.  It flares up when exposed to gluten.  But sometimes it flares for no apparent reason,  I took ranitidine when I was dealing with autoimmune hives (stated first in my gut before affecting my skin) two years ago.  So, I understand your concern.  From my FDA emails, the recall was very broad.  Most generics are manufactured in China.  I think now Metformin (helps with Type 2 diabetes) is under scrutiny for the same reason.  

Consider not consuming gluten (avoid eating out for a while), try fasting (no foods after dinner), keep a food journal to track other possible intolerances, and sleep on a wedge pillow if the reflux comes back.  

I hope you feel better soon.

I agree that it sounds like you definately have an issue with gluten. If I read correctly you were already gluten free when you were tested so that could be a reason for a negative.  Have you tried taking liquid Pepto Bismal? I get horrible stomach pain from soy and just one dose stops it quickly. Ask your doctor if it is okay to try as they should know if there are any contraindications for you to use it.

      For people with celiac disease and corn intolerance from it: Is salt still okay for most people?

      By Beverage · Posted

      Also, Vera Salt and Ava Jane's taste SO MUCH BETTER. Not sharp, and i need to use a lot less.

      I've recently researched a lot about salt lately. Celtics sea salts have minerals, which have been tested to include aluminum, cadmium, iron, lead, and microplastics. I used to use Redmond salt, but it tests as having aluminum, iron, and lead. I finally settled on 2 clean salts: Vera Salt, which you can only order from their web site. Also Ava Jane's which I got from Amazon. These are now the only 2 I use.

      Has anyone struggled with high blood pressure?

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had horrible reaction to lisinopril, a severe cough that kept me up all night. The cough is apparently common. I did better with irbesartan, no cough, and it controlled my BP better too.

      Do I have celiac/Gluten sensitivity?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @JohannesW85! Your physician gave you bad advice in telling you to avoid gluten until the hospital calls you. Reducing gluten intake will invalidate celiac disease blood antibody testing but it will also invalidate the gastroscopy/biopsy if there is significant time involved between removing gluten and when the procedure is scheduled. The endoscopy/biopsy serves the purpose of checking for the damage caused to the lining of the small bowel caused by the inflammation inherent in celiac disease to that section of the intestines. If you remove gluten ahead of the procedure for a period of weeks or months, there may be enough healing of the intestinal lining to prevent detection of damage. Gluten is hidden in many manufactured food products that you would never expect to find it in. It can also be found in medications, health supplements and oral hygiene products. It is easy to eat a lower gluten diet by cutting out major sources such as bread and pasta but much more difficult to achieve a truly gluten free state. There is significant learning curve involved. Current recommendations for the "gluten challenge" in preparing for celiac disease testing are the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a period of at least 2 weeks. But I would certainly extend that time period to make sure the testing is valid. You might also be dealing with NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) rather than Celiac disease. NCGS shares many of the same symptoms of celiac disease but does not damage the lining of the small bowel as does celiac disease. There is no test for it. A diagnosis for NCGS depends on first ruling out celiac disease. It is 10x more common than celiac disease. Some experts feel it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Eliminating gluten from your life is the antidote for both.

      Do I have celiac/Gluten sensitivity?

      By JohannesW85 · Posted

      Hello everybody!  I am a Swedish guy 39 years old with typ 1 diabetes. I signed up on this forum because I need som help with my problems with my stomach that have been going for 2 years mabey a little more.  My problems is following: I have egg burps, its taste like rotten eggs also called sulphur burps, and it’s so horrible. After the burps mabey, a 4-5 hours, I must have a toilet nearby because then I have diarrhea. And that can last for a day mabey, sometimes a couple of hours. When I have going to the bathroom and the diarrhea is over no more burping. After wards I am so tired and get sometime headaches. When I got these episodes I must call in sick to my work because I can’t work I am so exhausted.    I have been to my house doctor and have taken tests. I took blood samples gluten and lactose. I have also this week taken feces samples, that I am gooing to leave to the doctor at the end of this week so they can take it into the lab.    When i first visit my doctor is was not my regularly house doctor, and he sad mabey it’s gluten so stay gluten free and see if helps. Well, I did it and like for 10 days everything was so good, I hade some constipation but no burps or loose stools. But then after those 10 days my doctor called me and asked me If  I had taken a test for gluten, which I had but she said ok but it’s negative have you been eaten gluten when you did take the test and I said no, so the test was negative of course.  She also had looking over my blood samples and I have  ”Postive for HLA-DQ2, subtype DQ2.5 ”  And because I have diabetes typ 1 the doctor wanted me too to go the hospital to get a gastroscopy. I am wating for my time in the line for do that. I have also for a month now getting some kind of rash, it looks like blisters don’t know if I can upload a picture to show it?  I try my best to be gluten free, but this weekend I was out with some friends but I drank gluten free beer but also redbull with vodka and I got really drunk and mabey I got my friends glass and I had been drinking regular beer no gluten free.  My doctor said stay gluten free until the hospital calls you. So I am, but still it can take 4-5 days I got egg burps and then diarrhea, and I can’t for my life figure out how i got gluten in me. The only thing that 3 weekends in a row now, I have been drinking beer gluten free and booze.  The booze have also been gluten free. Still when the weekend have passed by it got new episodes of burps and diarrhea. I have also have this kind of episodes when I’m not drinking any alkohol. We have also clean out everything that is gluten in our home.  I feel so confused about this, I mean is it so easy to get gluten in your body?    Sorry for long wall of text I hope you had the time to read everything.
