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.

      Ore Ida Tater Tots Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While anything is possible, I'd like to still defend Kraft-Heinz and their Ore-Ida Tater Tots with regard to gluten. Kraft-Heinz has, for well over a decade, had an excellent allergen policy where they disclose any possible allergens on their labels. If you are having issues with them, could it be due to another intolerance/sensitivity? Their regular Tater Tots don't have gluten-free on their label, but also do not disclose wheat as an allergen, and here are the ingredients, with "Natural Flavors" being the only one that is suspicious: Regular Tater Tots: Their Crispy Tater Tots do say gluten-free on their label, so perhaps go for the Crispy version? The Crispy version also includes Natural Flavors, so I doubt the Natural Flavors would be a source of gluten: Crispy Tater Tots:

      @tabithaeve22, are you aware that the food labels "Gluten Free" and "Certified Gluten Free" are not equivalent? And are you aware that neither of them actually mean there is no gluten in the product, just that the gluten level is below a certain level? Gluten Free is an FDA designation indicating there should be less than 20 ppm of gluten and Certified Gluten free is a GFCO designation indicating the product should have less that 10 ppm of gluten.

      Could it be? Next steps?

      @CeeBee1807 Forgive the brevity of this post CeeBee as I cannot write a lengthier reply just now, but I have just read your post and wanted to say I think you are onto something.  Do mention to your GP that you already have a relative with coeliac disease. Do also take a look at the Coeliac UK website before you see the doctor, they have a whole section on  how to get diagnosed in the UK.

      Ore Ida Tater Tots Gluten

      @NimaWishing That is interesting that you mentioned the tater tots.  I have a very serious case of celiacs, diagnosed 1 month ago and still feel sick, have abdominal pain etc. even after adhering to eating gluten free and not eating out.   question for you…Is there any chance it could be from something else your daughter ate? Is your house gluten free? Are you cooking the tater tots on a pan or fryer that had been used for gluten items previously? There is no judgement at all, I’m just asking because for me personally( per my dr.) someone could leave a crumb on the counter and it accidentally gets in my food I will be glutened.  My question for all is…. when a product like “Simply Mills” cookies are Certified gluten free, which I do eat.. how can it truly be safe if the box also says (made on a line that also processes tree nuts and wheat)?? On another note, This puts me back in panic mode because it’s impossible to find all your ingredients certified and what if it’s like the cookies and is certified ?? Prayers for your daughter! I’m so sorry she has to go through this. I hope you all have a blessed day and feel good!

      Hi, @Eldene, Make sure you're getting sufficient Omega Three fats which will help with satiety.  Omega Threes vegetarian sources are Chia seeds, flaxseed, and walnuts.   What are the ingredients in your protein smoothie? What do you normally include in your "plant-based healthy meals, with enough protein"?
