I’ve been taking tums the last few days and it’s not helping enough with my heartburn and acidic tongue. 

My doctor ordered Omeprazole but the capsules have gelatin. I can’t have gelatin. 
i bought OTC Prilosec, name brand delayed Omeprazole and now I’m seeing a lot of people saying it’s not gluten free and some saying that it is. Is it gluten free or not? 
 

is there a different option someone knows that is gluten free? Thank you!

@Kurlykaitlyn,

I have found taking a magnesium supplement after meals helps.  The main ingredient in Tums is magnesium citrate.  You can find a gluten free/allergen free magnesium citrate or magnesium glycinate supplement without all the questionable ingredients that Tums has.  

You may want to avoid using a PPI, especially if one is also taking NSaids or an SSRI.  Taking either of these may make gastrointestinal symptoms worse and cause additional damage to the villi in the small intestine.

Acid reflux is actually a symptom of achlorhydria, low stomach acid.  PPI's will lower stomach acid further.  Low stomach acid encourages SIBO as well as vitamin and mineral deficiencies.  An acidic environment is needed for B12, iron, magnesium and calcium absorption, and to keep bacterial growth in check.  Achlorhydria in turn is caused by deficiencies in Niacin and Thiamine.  A B Complex supplement would be beneficial.

      Elimination diet think I may be Gluten tolerant next steps to get tested? Questions

      By trents · Posted

      Celiacs vary enormously in their sensitivity to cross contamination and I assume the same may be true for those with NCGS. I also wonder if other things going on in our body at any given time can influence whether or not we experience symptoms upon exposure to gluten, especially with reference to minor amounts like you get in cross contamination. We are more sensitive to certain things at some times more than others. But what you describe makes me wonder if you suffer from MCAS (Mast Cell Activation Syndrome)/histamine intolerance. Have you looked into that?

      Baking cooking keeping costs down?

      By xxnonamexx · Posted

      I have seen alot of great recipes but when it comes to gluten-free flours its pricy for 3lbs of gluten-free flour. I also noticed increase in sugars in gluten-free products recipes. What have you been using to lower sugar contect and keep costs down in purchasing gluten-free ingredients to bake/cook yourself.

      Salads the safe bet? Chick Fil A grilled chicken

      By xxnonamexx · Posted

      It appears when ging out with friends to a restaurant that doesn't have Gluten free menu salads appear the safest bet worst case scenario. I also read CHick Fil a Grilled chicken is gluten free and you can ask for a gluten-free bun.

      What would a diagnosis tell me?

      By xxnonamexx · Posted

      Thanks so the blood test will tell if I need to take endoscopy to check damage done? The villi grows back over time. I am on elimination diet and don't feel like eating gluten for 6 weeks to take the blood test since I have vacations planned with my family and would love to feel good for the summer then after I will go for it. Eating 10g of gluten for 6 weeks I know I will have the running to bathroom moments again and cant probably deal with it easier during that time frame. I didn't realize cross contamination and have been really watching. Since I wnet for physical my blood was fine as far as vitamins etc. So I think I don't have malabsorption of nutrients vitamins.  I have been taking a protein shake from Revive for years to increase protein, fiber vitamins nutrient intake so I feel that has been helping. Thanks for the insight. Do you feel different when taking gluten-free cross contaminated? I have read about some items claim gluten free but may bother you when out at restaurants especially so I am trying to see if I encounter a cross contamination or a gluten product that said gluten-free. Thanks
