I was just released from the hospital Friday with a followup
prescription (from my gastroenterologist) for Prilosec. I had been
admitted because of vomiting up blood, and was scoped, where they found
a tear between esophagus and stomach. It is clotted now, and this drug
is supposed to be helpful in healing. By the time my husband got it
home and I started researching it, Merck was closed. Stokes Drug
Directory says..."May have gluten". I paged the doctor, who of course,
was not on duty, but his associate said he would be surprised to hear
gluten was in it because it is synthetic. However, I am not taking it
until I can talk to Merck on Monday, or enough of you dear listmates can
assure me it is safe. All I need is another upheaval to get it all
ripped up again!
I am recovering from hand surgery also, so am having to type in a
strange manner, so have abbreviated this tale as much as possible. If
any of you "certified" celiacs have used Prilosec with no problems,
please tell me.
Thanks,
Anne in Texas
