Also, forgot to add, that what osmoprep does is induce diarrhea. . .

Hope you feel better soon.

Has anyone had gluten issues with Osmoprep? I’ve

just spoken with Salix Pharmaceuticals (I spoke with a very helpful

person). They said that they communicate it to be gluten free – by that

they mean that there is no added gluten. However, he said he’d

never been asked whether the plant also processed gluten. (Please, don’t

flame me on this subject, I realize that contaminated plants don’t affect

everyone – however, they make some of us incredibly sick). I had a

colonoscopy on Monday and I’m getting all the gluten signs – shakey

hands, numb lips, light headed, waves of bur

ning pain just below my rib cage,

loose stools. (I’m on touch with my gastro, in case this is a perforation

but it doesn’t appear to be in the correct place).

0A

Would love to hear if anyone else has had problems with this

prep. (I’ve read all the kidney issues associated with phosphates

but I have tolerated Fleet’s phosphate product very well, so I don’t

think that’s it).

Happy to summarize if folk are interested.

Bron

Ps anyone had any gluten issues with the sedatives or stuff

they put on you in a colonoscopy – I have a big red ring from some

monitor they stuck on me. I’ve had three before and usually I feel

better after them. This time I felt fab before it – it was routing –

and I’m in trouble now.

Of course, Osmoprep induces diarrhea – it’s a colon prep.  I hadthe colonoscopy on Monday.  I’m not paying much attention to it.  I’m payingattention to  the burning in my upper gut (not lower gut), handshaking, slurredspeech and other symptoms that are usually very celiac specific for me.  Theosmoprep side effects don’t usually go on for four days after you’ve taken it –unless they are the severe renal effects.

If you really think you are having a severe renal effect you ought to be seen by a physician right away. I was just trying to reassure you that your symptoms weren't caused by gluten in the medicine. Can't speak to other sources of gluten you might have eaten, of course. Slurred speech can also be a sign of stroke or a symptom of many other things...

Thx appreciate it. I am spking to my dr. I still think its likely cross contqamination of osmoprep - am sikply trying to find out if others have had reactioms to osmoprep. My symptoms are directly tied to ingestion of the prep.

And by the way, sorry for short and quick note. Am in a hurry. Your feedback was sweet and kind but I'm all over all of the potential reasons for my symp. Again, just seeking feedback. Talking with Salix Pharma too as they are unsure themslebves.
