Glutened At The Gi?

Hello everyone. I'm wondering if y'all might know the answer to my question. I had to go in Friday for a urea breath test at the GI doc for H-Pylori. I had to take a little yellow capsule for the test, and (I don't know what came over me--this is HIGHLY uncharacteristic of me) I didn't ask what was in the capsule, and specifically if it contained any gluten. I didn't even THINK about it. Well, within 30 minutes, my stomach was killing me. That subsided after a while, but for the next two days I have felt glutened! I've had the fatigue, headache, rumbly tummy, and this morning a great big ulcer in the back of my throat. Does anyone know if this capsule has gluten? I think I'm gonna call them in the morning but my curiosity is killing me...along with my head. OY!

It sure sounds like you have been glutened. Have you added anything new other than taking the pill? Any new lotions or shampoos or toothpastes? Have you inhaled anything like drywall dust? Anything different other than this pill? Please do let us know what the doctor says but I would also get my hands on the 'sheet' from the company and call them directly. Never trust your doctor to know whether something they give you is gluten-free. Most have no idea and calling the maker and a pharmacist is always a must do unfortunately.

      Less than 10 parts per billion issues

      By trents · Posted

      I have no specific recommendations but I would suggest looking for products that are advertised as produced in a dedicated gluten-free facility. That should eliminate one possible route of cross contamination. It doesn't guarantee that none of the ingredients going into the product are totally gluten free but is should eliminate adding more CC to the mix via processing machinery.  One of the issues you may be experiencing is that testing has shown that a significant percentage of "Certified Gluten Free" products can test far in excess of 10ppm. There was an article appearing in this forum back last summer outlining the results of testing that showed this to be true. So, it may be somewhat of a pig in a poke when you buy this stuff, regardless of how it is billed. It may be safe for you if it actually fits within the stated requirements of it's billing.

      I can still have a reaction from “certified gluten free” products I don’t like having to use the eat and see what my body does approach are there really any purely gluten free products or do I just have to make all of my own food?

      Hi I just wanted to update you all and let you know that I finally have my diagnosis. 2 weeks ago I had my third gastroscopy and the biopsy confirmed the damage. Thank you for giving me the information I needed to advocate for myself when I a was a feeling so lost!
