I already posted on meds here but I am having a hard time getting up to date accurate non-conflicting info. I have used Pepcid complete chewables for about a year and they do an excellant job at reducing the acid in my belly. I read a post here after a search on "pepcid" a letter from the manufacturar was provided with a very vague,clearly uninformed description of their products (how messed up is that? and appartently common I'm finding) so I switched to pepcid ac capsule that seemed safer, though still not certian and this is the ONLY product I am consuming I am uncertian about right now. I hate the caps because the relief takes longer and I'm think they may be less effective overall. So I'm back on the pepcid ac complete chewable caps, they are working great. I am 122 hours gluten-free and feeling about 5000% better but don't want to consuming ANY evil gluten at all. Again I trust you all on this more than the manufacture I think is why I'm repeating myself here.

I take prescription prevacid

If you are using an OTC version, go to your local Kroger and get their generic version manufactured by Perrigo (in a gluten-free facility). The Perrigo logo looks like a rounded edged rectangle with a comma thing hanging off the right side. You may also find this manufacturer's stuff at Wal-mart or Target, but you have to look for the logo since not all their OTC meds are made of Perrigo.

I used to take those sorts of things. McD, if your recovery continues to resemble mine, u won't need any either in a month or 6 wks.

I was mainly using a generic otc acid-reducer.

      I had these for years, covered in scars from them. Not had any since I started taking reishi and cordyceps tincture, they’re immune modulators, I think that’s how they work. Most of my other symptoms have also disappeared, I take a treble dose if I get glutened and it’s almost an instant fix, 3 days of mild symptoms instead of 3 weeks of horrible. Might be worth a try, don’t be put off by the caterpillars, I think they’ve found a different way of growing them now.

      Welcome to the forum, @LookingForAnswers101, I had similar experiences with boil outbreaks in the same areas.  Mine was caused by Candida Albicans and eating a diet too high in sugar and simple carbohydrates.   Candida is a yeast infection, so the antibacterial wash is not going to help.  I had to change my diet to a Paleo diet before it went away.  If I consume high levels of sugar or other simple carbohydrates (rice, corn, dairy, etc.), boils would occur at pressure points like the groin and back of the legs.  Your doctor might be able to prescribe an antifungal medication, but some of those antifungal medications destroy thiamine.  Thiamine is needed to keep fungal and bacterial infections in check.  I took Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine, but TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) will work, too.   Thiamine, and the other B vitamins, especially Niacin and Biotin, along with Vitamin A, Vitamin C, and Vitamin D will help keep skin healthy.  Be sure to address these nutritional deficiencies that occur with Celiac! Ask your doctor to rule out autoimmune hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) and Human Papilloma virus, too.   Hang in there!  You'll get over this rocky patch of the journey!  Best wishes! P. S.  Get checked for Type Two Diabetes as well.  Candida, type two diabetes and a high carbohydrate diet often go together.  A Paleo diet really helps me with my Type Two Diabetes and Candida overgrowth.

      As I mentioned, gluten intolerance encompasses more than just those with celiac disease, and in the past was used more like the term "gluten sensitivity" is used today.

      By the way, have you been diagnosed with celiac disease, and if so, are you on a 100% gluten-free diet?

      I haven’t had any noticeable reactions to salt so I will continue using it. I think I just freaked out when I realized this but it doesn’t cause me any discomfort- so thanks!
