<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> I received more responses & wanted to post them, too. ----------------------------------------------------------- I won't give my daughter aspirin as she is 16 and there is always the possibility of Reyes Syndrome. Also many celiacs, and many other people! are dealing with Leaky Gut Syndrome and aspirin is notorious for passing right through the gut wall and causing more damage. Many celiacs can't stomach any of the salacyte (spelling!?) family. -------------------------------------------------------------- Alka Seltzer Gold can be used in a doubled dose to interrupt an allergic reaction to ingested food. I don't know if the same thing happens in the case of celiac but I do know that it does work for food allergies. --------------------------------------------------------------------- I don't know why Alka Seltzer Gold works, but it really helps. I take it when I've accidentally ingested gluten and it just helps lessen all the affects, stomach problems as well as every other reaction. I was told about it by a Dr. about 7 years ago. I didn't see how it would help and I put off getting it for about 2 years. It really helps. You will still have a reaction, it just makes it more bearable. I also give it to family members if they are having a food reaction. My husband is a disbeliever until last week when he ate shrimp that didn't agree with him. The ASG took the sting out of the reaction. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks again!!
