does anyone know if the CVS-brand acetaminophen is gluten-free? I took some today and got intestinal distress shortly thereafter. I have emailed the company, but may not hear back from them for a few days...

In the meantime, I will go buy some real tylenol !

thanks,

kathleen

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to let you know that I spoke with customer service at CVS a couple days ago about their brand of acetaminophen. The representative told me that they use 2 different suppliers for their products, so some batches of the product are gluten-free and others aren't. She could not tell me, however, if my bottle contained gluten, since I didn't have the original box (who keeps those!?) with the UPC code. My reaction was very strong, though, and I am positive that it was from this.

The rep. told me that if you have any CVS brand OTC medicines, you can call them with the UPC code and they will tell you if it's gluten-free. Since it changes from batch to batch, however, you would need to call every time you purchase the same product again ! This is too much trouble for me. I will be using only Tylenol from now on !

Kathleen

      Conflicting results

      By Jy11 · Posted

      My 7yo has been complaining of tummy aches for some months. Bloods show very low iron and vitamin D. We have had multiple bloods as follows… 1. TTg 0.3 (normal) IgA deficient  2. TTg 6.6 (cut off is 7) IgA 0.54 (cut off is 0.5 so only just over not being deficient) 3. TTg 3 (cut off 7) EMA Positive We are awaiting biopsy but why are the blood results so conflicting? Is it likely he is coeliac? We have strong family history with dad having coeliac plus other relative. Can positive EMA be caused by anything other that coeliac disease? It has been bought up the EMA could be from other inflammation but I can’t find any studies that say this?    thank you.

      Chronic mildly elevated liver enzymes was what eventually led to my celiac diagnosis but it took thirteen years to ferret that out and by that time I had developed osteopenia.  Yes, you've got a lot going on there in the way of autoimmune disorders and all of them we now know have a connection with celiac disease. It is true that autoimmune disorders tend to cluster. But it sounds like you are getting medical attention and keeping an eye on things.

      Thank you! Yes, I have celiac disease, lupus and Sjögrens. My ALT and AST have been chronically slightly elevated for a couple years and recently had an acute kidney injury (thinking it was from an antibiotic) with increased Lipase. So my primary doctor referred me to a kidney specialist. Other kidney labs are normal.

      Waiting on Blood test results…

      By ChrisSeth · Posted

      My test results for TissueTransglutaminase IgA Antibody test came back normal. Like spot on normal. I do not have celiac! My problems are stemming from this H Pylori infection. I think I’ve had it for years. We’ll see if the doctor wants to do an endoscopy to see how extensive the damage is. Otherwise just a regimen of antibiotics will do the trick. The thanks for your guys’s help!
