I was talking to my doctor because I get migraines from time to time and she told me that children's advil is safe for celiacs. Does anyone else have any other recommendations for over the counter medications that are gluten free ?

I have found gluten free ibuprofen at various places... Walgreens, Target...just look at the boxes. The liquid gels are NOT usually gluten free though. I do not look at children’s  Advil, just regular generic ibuprofen. I have also found gluten free generic Tylenol products. Again, read the boxes. They are there.

      Anyone gone through public school gluten free?

      By SoBannaz · Posted

      No I was 19 when I was diagnosed. And before then I brought my own lunch (usually a sandwich) which I would throw up an hour later. I wish we figured it out sooner. My folks thought I had an eating disorder and was purposely making myself sick.  With the way things are going wouldn’t be surprised if people think a kid with celiac disease is just attention seeking. Had a nurse try to get me to eat sourdough bread one time to cure my celiac disease but I’m going a bit off topic. If I had a child that inherited my celiac disease I would make all their lunches I worked in restaurants and cafeterias before they aren’t safe too much cross contamination

      Just diagnosed with Celiac! Scared and feel alone.

      If your celiac antibody tests are still positive that may explain the ongoing symptoms.  You might examine your diet and try to get those tests in the normal range before doing something like an MRI or CT scan.  It took me almost six years to get all of my antibody tests in the normal range.  At first I thought I was eating gluten free by avoiding wheat, rye and barley in the ingredient list.  Then I made sure foods were labeled gluten free, one antibody was still positive.  Now if I eat processed foods I buy certified gluten free or foods labeled gluten free from companies with good reputations in the celiac community.

      Confused about test results

      By KikiSa · Posted

      Hello, My child received a ‘weak positive result’ on a routine bloodwork for TTG Iga. The result was measured in U/ml. A repeat test a few months later (while waiting for endoscope) now shows high (but the result is in KIU/L). I’m told the lab ‘just changed the way they report’. I’m wondering if this is an error, or if anyone knows how to convert the units.

      Inhaler problem

      By trents · Posted

      @Ann13, thanks for the clarification. I think I understand your point now. Yes, I realize gluten can produce non Gi Reactions. Let us know if you find out that there is gluten in these inhalers. I have my doubts but gluten does show up in strange places. It could also be manufacturer dependent of these inhaler products are generic.

      Not everyone will be allergic to whatever they're using in food. There is another forum re people who are posting they have vocal cord & throat issues after they eat breads & pastas which stopped after they removed those foods from their diets. Same as me...gluten doesn't react as gastrointestinal it reacts orally. Which is why I'm saying ensure all your food isn't what you're having a reaction to.  ...& I used Cornflakes as an example because some gluten free people would assume it's gluten free but if they're allergic to barley they will have a reaction...nothing to do with their inhaler.  You're missing my points a lot & frustrating so I'm done commenting. You really need to ensure your food isn't what's causing the issue. I am checking with symbicort manufacturer to check their ingredients.
