What Do You Do After Glutening?

I was glutened a week ago today. I feel so much better now, but it has been a difficult week with pain, D, C, D again, muscle weakness and pain, headache (haven't had one since gluten-free). What is your secret to healing as quickly as possible? Probiotics? Other supplements? Foods?

I started taking VitaCost 20Bil probiotics and I noticed some faster healing, but that could be coincidental with the timing of natural healing...just not sure at this point. I take double the dose right now and will cut to normal dose on Tuesday. That'll be one week of double dosing to help heal the damage this past week caused. SHould I be taking other steps?

Looking for your best secrets to managing times when getting glutened to make future events hopefully less painful. Thanks everyone!

I've heard L-glutamine can help with the healing. Luckily I haven't been glutened recently so I haven't personally tried it out.

I'm glad you are feeling better. :)

I havent tried any supplements to help healing but my go-to has been some rice to bind things up in there (I tend to get D when I get glutened), home made chicken broth (which I keep frozen until I need it), and a good old heating pad that seems to relieve some of the cramping and abdominal pain during the initial stages. Don't know if this will be a help to you, but I figured I'd share!!

Homeopathic medicine. Maybe it's just the placebo effect, though at least it tames my symptoms (they are not baaad, per se, just bloating and uncomfortableness, though for someone who spent nine years with constant stomach cramps and vomiting, anything can be pretty unsettling).

Also, I tend to juice fast for eight hours or so and it usually works well.

Cry?? :P

No, really... I guzzle every anti-inflammatory thing I can possibly think of. Aloe juice, chamomile tea, ginger tea, nettle infusion, etc. This supplement was always helpful too:

Usually, I just go to bed. Whether it's a nap, or down for the night. I usually at least feel functional after wards. I am only a month of being gluten free. Before, when I was trying to be gluten-free but would slip, I would feel sick but nothing major. Now that I am a month free, it hits me a little harder than I expect it to. I ate 2 bites of my daughters donut 2 weeks ago and I was so sick, sicker than I had ever been and it took me a few days to really come out of it. Then, yesterday, I accidentally licked my fingers after cutting the kids a slice of cake. I didnt even think about it, it just happened and after ward I though, oh no! But then I thought, ehhh a lick isn't going to hurt me. But within an hour, I was very sick, headache, nauseous, foggy head, etc.

I am sure pretty soon just sleeping it off won't help. I am learning as I go. But that is what I do for now. Tylonal and sleep.

Wow KMMO320, that's some rough punishment you've endured lately. I will give the some ibuprofen or something a shot, but my pain lasted 3-4 days so I kinda fear doing it to myself. That cake incident had to be pretty scary when you caught yourself.

My daughter discovered charcoal tabs (gluten-free) helped her greatly after she discovered a wait staff had brought a dish with gluten by mistake. She said she will keep them on hand forever now.

Pepto Bismol and lots of water, plus aspirin. Avoid sugary things as they can make the bloating worse.

      My only proof

      By Mari · Posted

      I think, after reading this, that you areso traumatized by not being able yo understand what your medical advisors have been  what medical conditions are that you would like to find a group of people who also feel traumatized who would agree with you and also support you. You are on a crusade much as the way the US Cabinet  official, the Health Director of our nation is in trying to change what he considers outdated and incorrect health advisories. He does not have the education, background or experience to be in the position he occupies and is not making beneficial decisions. That man suffered a terrible trauma early in his life when his father was assonated. We see now how he developed and worked himself into a powerful position.  Unless you are willing to take some advice or  are willing to use a few of the known methods of starting on a path to better health then not many of us on this Celiac Forum will be able to join you in a continuing series of complaints about medical advisors.    I am almost 90 years old. I am strictly gluten free. I use 2 herbs to help me stay as clear minded as possible. You are not wrong in complaining about medical practitioners. You might be more effective with a clearer mind, less anger and a more comfortable life if you would just try some of the suggestions offered by our fellow celiac volunteers.

      Thus has got to STOP , medical bit believing us! I literally went through 31 years thinking it was just a food allergy as its downplayed by medical if THEY weren't the ones who diagnosed us! Im positive for HLA-DQ2 which is first celiac patient per Iran and Turkey. Here in the States especially in Cali its why do you feel that way? Why do you think your celiac? Your not eating gluten so its something else.Medical caused me depression. I thought I was safe with my former pcp for 25 years considering i thought everything I went through and going through will be available when I get fired again for health. Health not write-ups my health always come back when you're better.Im not and being tossed away at no fault to my own other than shitty genes.I was denied disability because person said he didn't know how to classify me! I said Im celiac, i have ibs, hernia, sciatica, high blood pressure, in constant pain have skin and eye issues and menopause intensified everything. With that my celiac nightmare began to reprove my disregarded disease to a bunch of clowns who think they are my careteam when they said I didn't have...I feel Im still breathing so I can fight this so no body else has to deal with this nightmare. Starting over with " new care team" and waisting more time on why I think I am when diagnosed in 1994 before food eliminated from my diet. P.s everything i went through I did write to medical board, so pretty sure I will continue to have a hard time.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      By RUKen · Posted

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.
