Is a daily aspirin safe to take?

Hi,  I have celiac disease. My cardiologist wants me to start taking a daily aspirin. She wrote a prescription for the aspirin 81 mg and I picked it up from the pharmacy.

Are you concerned that it might not be gluten-free? I also take a low dose aspirin for similar reasons and get the Bayer brand via Costco. This article may be helpful:

I was just wondering if an aspirin is ok to take with celiac disease. I will ask the pharmacist if what I was given is gluten free.  Thank you for your response! I appreciate it.

I guess my real concern is that Aspirin is an NSAID and I didn't think celiacs can take NSAIDS

I suppose if your celiac disease were recently diagnosed, and you might already have issues with intestinal bleeding due to it, your doctor might want you to hold off until that was under full control. I'm not aware of any incompatibility with taking aspirin or other NSAID and celiac disease, especially if it's been recommended by your cardiologist, but it would not hurt for you to run this by them just to be certain.

Some of us can be sensitive to NSAIDs. That can be entirely based on personal experience. My stomach isn’t strong enough to handle them, but I’m able to take them for single use needs. Most often they are gluten free, just ensure which ones you take are. Take them with food, even something as small as a banana will help your stomach. If after a few days or week you notice your digestion or stomach hurting or developing any uncomfortable symptoms, let your doctor know and maybe consider Tylenol. 
tylenol doesn’t work as good depending on your need for them, but it won’t hurt your intestinal lining. 
hope they work out for you!

Thank you for the input. A daily aspirin was prescribed for heart related issues and family history. I spoke with my cardiologist that prescribed it and she told me not to take it and continue to take fish oil.

BTW, I recommend that you always take the aspirin after you eat, and would do it after dinner. My reasoning for taking it after dinner is due to statistics which show that heart attacks most often occur in the morning. Blood tends to be stickier in the morning, which may increase the likelihood of clot formation in the arteries, a common cause of heart attacks. When people wake up in the morning, they may experience a surge in stress hormones (such as cortisol and adrenaline) as part of the body's natural awakening process. This can also contribute to the risk of heart attacks in susceptible individuals.

Hi and thank you for all of your recommendations. I really appreciate it.

Hi B.J. Trents is correct as I as well use aspirin in the 81mg a day dose for my heart condition CAD aka Coronary Artery Disease as well as 3 other meds prescribed by my Cardiologist as well for the CAD! I am a Celiac of 20+yrs and I am Strictly gluten-free, so like Trents said make sure to read the ingredient label as some manufactures change ingredients often! I have found no issues with Bayer’s 81mg aspirin taken daily! Stay Celiac Strong💪and Heart❤️Strong💪

I was prescribed a low dose aspirin, but after supplementing with Thiamine and the other B vitamins, my health improved.

Whether one is newly diagnosed or living with CeD for years, correcting nutritional deficiencies is terribly important.  Malabsorption of nutrients goes hand in hand with CeD.  Subclinical deficiencies can affect ones health.  

Subclinical Thiamine deficiency can manifest as heart problems, depression and anxiety, thyroid problems, digestive system symptoms, and diabetes, among others.

This article finds a link between Thiamine and cardiovascular diseases.  

Association of vitamin B1 with cardiovascular diseases, all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in US adults

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10502219/

 

Talk to your doctors and nutritionist before beginning supplementing.  Thiamine in high doses is safe and nontoxic.  Thiamine and the seven other B vitamins should be supplemented together because they depend on each other to function properly.  Minerals like magnesium and zinc are needed for Thiamine and the B vitamins to work, too.  

Hope this helps!

      Bitters for digestion?

      This sounds to me like histamine intolerance. Some foods have more or less histamine. processed or aged meats, fermented food like yoghurt or kimchi and bread (yeast), spinach, eggplant and mushroom are high in histamine. Other foods like tomatoes are histamine liberators, they encourage your mast cells to release histamine, which can also trigger the reactions...

      Why Bananas No Longer Cure Celiac Disease

      I missed this article when it was first put up. It is interesting to read, as my old neighbour who sadly passed away a few years ago was a trainee midwife during WWII. Bananas disappeared from the shops in Britain during the war, but she told me that those that did get to the UK were kept back for infants with coeliac disease. I didn't realise that...

      @GeoPeanut, milk is one of the better sources of iodine. Iodine is known to exacerbate dermatitis herpetiformis. Many people find that a low iodine diet helps them avoid dermatitis herpetiformis outbreaks. So, maybe the fact that you have limited your dairy intake of late is helping with that.

      Celiac or Addison's complications? Can someone share their experience?

Some foods have more or less histamine. processed or aged meats, fermented food like yoghurt or kimchi and bread (yeast), spinach, eggplant and mushroom are high in histamine. Other foods like tomatoes are histamine liberators, they encourage your mast cells to release histamine, which can also trigger the reactions you describe, flu like symptoms, joint pain, urinary tract irritation, rash, stomach upset, nausea, diarrhoea & fatigue. I had liver pain like you describe, as part of the intolerance is usually a sluggish liver that makes processing all the histamine difficult. There are multiple possible root causes of histamine intolerance, usually it’s a symptom of something else. In my case, leaky gut (damaged gut wall)caused by undiagnosed celiac, but for others it’s leaky gut caused by other things like dysbiosis. Some people also experience histamine intolerance due to mould exposure or low levels of DAO (the enzyme that breaks down histamine in the gut). I’d try a low histamine diet & if that doesn’t improve symptoms fully, try low oxalate too. As others have suggested, supplements like vitamin d, b, l-glutamine to support a healthy gut & a good liver support supplement too. If you’re in a histamine flare take vitamin c to bowel tolerance & your symptoms will calm down (avoid if you find you have oxalate intolerance though). Best of luck

      Welcome to the forum, @KRipple! Sorry to hear of all your husband's health problems. I can only imagine how anxious this makes you as when our spouse suffers we hurt right along with them. Can you post the results from the Celiac blood testing for us to look at? We would need the names of the tests run, the numeric results and (this is important) the reference ranges for each test used to establish high/low/negative/positive. Different labs use different rating scales so this is why I ask for this. There aren't industry standards. Has your husband seen any improvement from eliminating gluten from his diet? If your husband had any positive results from his celiac blood antibody testing, this is likely what triggered the consult with a  GI doc for an endoscopy. During the endoscopy, the GI doc will likely biopsy the lining of the small bowel lining to check for the damage caused by celiac disease. This would be for confirmation of the results of the blood tests and is considered the gold standard of celiac disease diagnosis. But here is some difficult information I have for you. If your husband has been gluten free already for months leading up to the endoscopy/biopsy, it will likely invalidate the biopsy and result in a false negative. Starting the gluten free diet now will allow the lining of the small bowel to begin healing and if enough healing takes place before the biopsy happens, there will be no damage to see. How far out is the endoscopy scheduled for? There still may be time for your husband to go back on gluten, what we call a "gluten challenge" to ensure valid test results.

      Are they close to a drug that will help celiacs with cross contamination

      By kate g · Posted

      Ive read articles that there is stage 2 research being conducted for drugs that will limit damage to celiacs through cross contamination- how close are they to this will there be enough funding to create a mainstream drug?
