Hi everyone,

I recently discovered some food I ate at my in-law's contained gluten, and I feel absolutely sick to my stomach right now. I don't have celiac disease, but I get headaches and feel nauseated with stomach cramping and other gross symptoms when I've accidentally had gluten. I'm wondering how others deal with the symptoms? It usually takes a day or two before they hit me, and about 3 days before I start feeling better. I'm curious if there are any home remedies to ease the stomach issues/headaches. I was also wondering.... some people have mentioned taking a laxative or natural laxative to "clean out my system", which sounds sketchy and unreliable and not likely to work to me, but I wondered if anyone had any thoughts on that?

Thanks!

If you got larger amount, nothing probably will do much difference, but I use Gluten Defense digestive enzymes for tiny amounts hidden, when I eat out, and it seems to help. And any digestive herbs or enzymes.

I have used many Source Natural products including their enzymes.

And did you like them?

If you are new to the diet and still healing, I could recommend a pro biotic that is dairy free, at this time.

I have Rainbow Light probiotic, but although I liked their digestive enzymes, their probiotic makes me feel worse, not better. Maybe I should look for the other one? Which ones do you use, Lisa?

Thank you,so they are not all gluten free. I was eyeing these Source Naturals Daily Essential Enzymes

Just giving you a big hug and wishing you well.It does take a while to bounce back, especially after such a large amount. Even much smaller amount made me sick for a few days at a time, so what you are experiencing is very reasonable.
