Stomach ache is not related to gluten ingestion, because I am always very careful. However, I'm pretty sure the huge Costco sized jar of cashews I have been pigging out is to blame :blink: Bad idea, I know, I won't do it again. In the meantime, I've heard both Tums and Gas-X are off limits, so is there anything I can take to make my gut stop aching??

Lori, who has learned a lesson the hard way....... :o

Pepto-Bismol - all forms are totally gluten free. Sorry about the tummy.

Ginger (with honey is my preference) can help. So can Coke - sometimes you can find Coke syrup on its own for that purpose at a pharmacy.

When I get nausea(which is one of the main symptoms I get when glutened)I use a homeopathic spray called Stomach Distress by Liddell. I also will sometimes use coke syrup.

I've used pepto, Wallyworld gas-x, ginger tea helps, chamomile tea does too. Also just curling up with a heating pad helps the tummy to relax some. Hope you're better soon (My tummy just gave me a sympathy twinge - it feels for you!)

My homeopath (who I stay in contact with via e-mail) told me to go and buy sepia at the health food store (it's a homeopathic remedy). She said that 200 C is best. You take one dose of 3 pellets under your tongue once the first day and then again the next day, and that should do it for the time being. If you can only get the 30 C strength (which I had to get), you take 3 pellets three times a day for a week.

When my stomach was very inflamed before I figured out I have Celiac disease, it helped immensely. I have had a stomach ache again since yesterday (no idea what from), and have been using it, and it really helps. I felt relief immediately after the first dose, and it's getting better all the time.

Thanks for all the tips! I have had a freaking busy day and have barely slept (I worked nights last night). I plan to get some of the stuff you recommended and keep it on hand for the next time! In the meantime, my cashew problem seems to have passed on it's own, and just be grateful you were not downwind! I love cashews, but I will never eat that many at one time again!!!!!

:) For some kinds of stomach aches and for intestinal pain, lying on a heating pad can help more than taking medicine can (just always make sure the pad is not too hot.)

I have pepto at home, at the office, and the savior of my life, Pepto chewable tablets in my purse. Helps with gluten attacks, heartburn - all my tummy troubles. I've been out and about a few times and been saved from having to call it off from being able to pop a couple of those puppies.

When leisurely at home however, I make ginger tea ( also a good immune booster). Take a ginger root, peel it, and slice it up. Put it in a pot of water and simmer/boil it for about 20 minutes. You can drink it hot or cold, it saves well in the fridge, and if you can stand it, munch on the soggy ginger slices ( take them out when its done boiling). Does wonders, and I love the taste now.

Do not use mylanta with honey chamomile as my Nima meter says it has gluten in it.

That is odd because their website says that all Mylanta liquid products are gluten free.

The Nima sensor gives false positives sometimes. See:

      Lymph nodes

      Enlarged lymph nodes in neck and groin with celiac are not uncommon. They can take time to reduce even after going gluten-free. Monitoring is key.

      Trying to read my lab results

      Hi Scott, yes I have had symptoms for years and this is the second GI I have seen and he could not believe I have never been tested. He called later today and I am scheduled for an endoscopy. Is there a way to tell how severe my potential celiac is from the results above? What are the chances I will have the biopsy and come back negative and we have to keep...

      Hi, I attended a neurologist appt last Tuesday, which I nearly cancelled, due to ongoing numbness and tingling in toes to mid foot. One of the first things he asked was ‘are you celiac’. I’m not. He thought all reflexes were ok but at the last minute decided on nerve conduction tests which were low normal. He was a little confused as he felt they should be better and tried a new set of probs, all the time, giving me multiple shocks which were not enjoyable lol. Anyway, he’s now ordered tests for myeloma, and all the vitaminy things that so many of you mention on here, also tests looking for autoimmune responses. I already have Hashimotos. Interestingly, to me, but maybe someone out there can relate or knows more than i do, although I was a nurse, but ED not ‘weird symptoms’  nurse. Anyway back to the interesting thing, I took duramine in 2013 to lose weight which caused a massive panic attack when I stopped taking it and half my hair fell out. I only took it for a week but it was horrible and I regret it. It triggered ongoing panic attacks which are horrendous. So I feel like I’m a bit crazy. Then in 2020 I had this sudden onset of horrible pain when trying to eat a cinnamon roll. It continued and I lost around 20 kgs. I had two gastroscopes and a colonoscopy and they were all normal. I scored a barium swallow and CT angiogram. All normal. The pain subsided a little but I was left with reflux and an awful feeling that I couldn’t get air when I ate some foods. This was not anxiety.  The anxiety was separate and I still maintain this. This was something to do with eating. It was like the air was thick but I wasn’t short of breath. I just had the sensation I was, then it triggered anxiety. Anyway, I had other weird things- couldn’t bend knees to shave legs in shower lol. Knees felt stiff and swollen but they weren’t. Knee WOUld swell up randomly but mri showed minimal issues. A bit of a meniscus degeneration but insignificant. Then the buzzing sensations in my head, the feeling like someone was stabbing me with something sharp. So now, I pre empted his tests, although I don’t think I’m celiac because it should have come up on gastroscopy, I’ve gone off gluten. Since Tuesday last week so 9 days. Since then I don’t appear to be as constipated, I realised I got through today without a nap and I’m not tired, maybe it’s just today and not related but I get very tired normally and sleep straight after work often, I can bend my knees and shave my legs lol, the buzzing vibrating has gone from my head, I had to call and ambulance as my heart decided we were off on a run, but we weren’t running and I’ve been a bit twitchy at bed time when trying to sleep, reflux is improving, I did get the weird suffocating feeling a bit when eating today but not as bad normall. Tingling and numbness still present and I felt like it moved up my legs a bit today but I’m a bit jittery. So I don’t know if it’s celiac disease or a gluten intolerance but I think, and it may be wishful thinking because my symptoms do make life a bit challenging, but maybe I’m feeling better. I don’t feel as cloudy. My thinking feels crisper. Like there’s no buzzing and I’m not fighting to break through the cloudiness now. I hope so much that this may help me feel a bit better moving forward. It would be a miracle as I really have struggled to work and parent and keep the house clean and I’m always anxious and exhausted.  If you get this far, please tell me if you you can relate to any of the above. Oh and tonsils out 5 years ago but before that antibiotics multiple times a year, sometimes intramuscular because they were so bad.  Op was meant to take 30 mins, it took 1.5 hours due to size of them.
