What Helps This Symptom?

While healing from this dreadful disease, what if anything helps with the tender and bruised intestinal feeling?  That is my biggest complaint right now...just the general soreness like a horse walked on your lower guts.

When were you diagnosed? I have been gluten free for 16 months and just when I started to feel better I was glutened by something given to me at the hospital. When I need some extra help to settle things down again I take gluten-free/wheat & dairy free slippery elm capsules after each meal. They seem to soothe my stomach.

flowerqueen, thanks.  I will check those slippery elm capsules out!  I was diagnosed in late Jan.

Heating pads.

 

I've used them to help recover from surgery to regular aches and pains. Something about heat (as long as it isn't too hot) helps in healing.

Shadow, thanks!  I know what you mean about heat.  I was standing in front of a fireplace over the weekend and the heat from that felt so good on my guts.  I will be watching Dancing With The Stars in bed with 2 cats and my heating pad tonight.  :)

      No! Do not start the gluten free diet until you know whether or not you will be having an endoscopy/biopsy to verify the blood antibody test results. Starting gluten free eating ahead of either form of diagnostic testing can invalidate the results. You don't want to allow the villous lining of the small bowel to experience healing ahead of testing by removing gluten.

      We offer a ton of recipes here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/gluten-free-recipes/ and have done some articles on fast food places, but keep in mind that eating out is a common source of gluten contamination: https://www.celiac.com/search/?q=fast food&quick=1&type=cms_records2 Many colleges now offer allergen-friendly, and sometimes gluten-free options in their student cafeterias: https://www.celiac.com/search/?&q=colleges&type=cms_records2&quick=1&search_and_or=and&sortby=relevancy PS - Look into GliadinX, which is a sponsor here, but many studies have been done on it which show that it may break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines.

      Thank you! What do you recommend in the next 7 weeks until I see my Doctor?  Just start my Gluten free diet?

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.
