Intense digestive issues

[studybooks101]

Hi y'all,

I was just diagnosed with Celiac about a month ago. Since then, I've been pretty good about avoiding bad foods but I'm still learning. I slipped up on Saturday night and ate a Rice Krispy Treat while really drunk-- needless to say I realized what I had done the next morning. Sunday I was extremely uncomfortable, stomach felt raw, and had little appetite. I probably pooped 10+ times. I was awake all night with INTENSE stomach pains and was back in the bathroom every 5-10 minutes. It was awful. Monday wasn't any better. Every time I eat I have to use the bathroom almost 5 minutes later and it's awful. It's whole food in there, it smells bad, and it floats up to the surface (sometimes green, sometimes orange, sometimes brown). Now it's Tuesday and I keep trying to eat but it's just making me poop and causing me pain. 

 

Is there anything I can do to help myself? How long is this going to continue for?

My strategy is to just tough it out (I am severely allergic to many medications).  I eat mushy eat-to-digest foods for a while because everything hurts to digest.  I try to rest and keep hydrated.  

Remember, celiac disease is  autoimmune and not an allergy.  Gluten triggers an autoimmune response which can go on for days, weeks or months!  It is like rheumatoid arthritis or lupus except the trigger for those are unknown.  

I hope you recover fast!
