Sending out a distress signal for anyone around.  I have possibly just been glutened at work of my own stupidty (potluck day).  Any suggestions on how to stop the process if I start showing symptoms? I do not want anyone at work to know to know of my problems.

What are your symptoms? Do you know your reaction time? Unfortunately, I don't think there is a way to immediately stop a gluten reaction. Drink lots of water, rest, and be kind to yourself. Sorry to hear that you got glutened!

I have more of the neurological side effects (brain fog and muscle jerks/twitches).  Reaction time could be within the hour to 24 hours.

I don't think there is anything to stop an autoimmune reaction. However, I would try meditating. The stress of knowing when we are going to get sick does not help us.

Hi cstark,

Eat more food, take Pepto Bismol.  More food can help thin the gluteny stuff out some IMHO.  Milk of Magnesia may help get it all out faster, which is good too.

      Other symptoms that Celiac Disease can cause but resemble other diseases so the cause may be misdiagnosed. What Are the Symptoms of Celiac Disease?

      Thanks Scott. They are gluten-free but cross contaminated.

      Hernia symptoms after gluten exposure

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi there @MCAyr I have a small umbilical hernia which came about during my second pregnancy.   I can just about see it, and feel it, when I stand or sit, but it is far less noticeable when I lie down.  I always know when I am putting on weight because I can get pain and burning near the site, funnily enough not on the hernia itself but either side!  I would imagine bloating could cause the same effect as weight gain. In my case I don't think it is my bowel protruding but a bit of fat  - sorry,  I realise this isn't painting a very pretty picture.  But in truth it is scarcely noticeable.  It has never really got bigger in size. I was rather hoping that it could be operated on but here in the UK they don't seem to operate on every hernia anymore.  My GP isn't remotely worried about it. In a way, I should be thankful - it is like an early warning system that I need to go on a diet! Cristiana

      The hernia description would likely be unrelated to celiac disease, but you'd need to get it checked out by your doctor to be sure it's a hernia.
