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.

      Fibrin glue

      I doubt very much that it contains any gluten. It works by producing an artificial blood clot, mixing 2 or more proteins found in the natural blood clotting cascade. These are refined from human blood donations. It comes in 2 vials that are mixed immediately before use and clot quickly.

      Food Tasting Salty

      By nanny marley · Posted

      This literally happened to me today I had gluten after not eating it for over 6 months doing the elimination diet has I'm trying to get help with a diagnosis I ate gluten a few days ago and then stopped  because I went for my blood test today unfortunately it's not enough has I've now learned from some helpful people on this forum it has to be a lot longer before a test but my food today was really salty I just thout it was me because I'd deviated off my diet but I definitely tasted my  food  salty so that's a very intriguing investigation for me now thankyou for the post

      Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:
