If have celiac there is not much we can do, we can take gliden X right after ingestion to break down some of the gluten and lessen symptoms. If you can peptobismal, some swear by peppermint tea, and use Imodium for D. I just double up on slippery elm, marshmallow root to coat my intestines and go to a simple mush diet for a few weeks with now spices til my gut gets over it. I often find I have to double down on my B-vitamins and consume foods to give some form of bulk to my stool and up my potassium.

Worst is over in a day or two, you might end up with increased vitamin deficiencies for a week or so, and might have lingering effects for 6 weeks or more til your antibodies go down and you heal.

Do note if your just starting the diet it can take up to 24 months to completely heal your intestines.

I suggest reading up the newbie 101 sections about CC etc. if your new to this. And try sticking to a whole foods only diet.
BTW for now stick to soups, and WELL cooked easy to digest stews, and egg dishes if you can, easier to digest the better, think of your intestines as carpet burned and avoid spices, alcohol, or anything that might irritate them.

Sorry you are feeling so awful. Time to heal from a glutening can vary person to person.  Some are over the worst in a few days for others some issues can linger. When I get glutened I use Immodium only if I have to leave the house. I eat lightly for a couple days and I find Cream of Buckwheat to be soothing. If you are not yet avoiding dairy you should for a bit. Do follow Ennis advice about reading the Newbie 101 thread and try to avoid eating out or taking any risks for a bit. Your glutening flared your antibodies and you want those antibodies to go down as quickly as possible. I hope you are over this and feeling better soon.

      I was tested back in 2017 and my TTG-IGA was mildly elevated (an 11 with reference range <4) but my EMA was negative and biopsy was negative. Fast forward to 2 weeks ago where I was like y'know what, I still have so many symptoms and I'm always so sick, I should repeat this, thinking it was not going to be positive.  I also found out through 23 and me that I do have the HLA-DQ2.5 gene so I thought it would be good to repeat given my ongoing symptoms. Well my blood work came back with a ttg-iga level of 152.6 with a reference range of <15 and my EMA was positive and EMA titer was 1:10 with reference range of <1:5. I guess I'm nervous that I'm going to do the biopsy and it's going to be negative again, especially since I also had an endoscopy in 2020, not to look for celiac but just as a regular 5 year thing I do because of all my GI issues, and they didn't see anything then either. I have no idea how long the EMA has been positive but I'm wondering if it's very recent, if the biopsy will show damage and if so, if they'll say well the biopsy is the gold standard so it's not celiac? I of course am doing all the things to convince myself that it isn't real. Do a lot of people go through this? I think because back in 2017 my ttg-iga was elevated but not a huge amount and my EMA was negative and my biopsy was negative, I keep thinking this time it's going to be different. But this time my ttg-iga is 152.6 with reference range <15, and my EMA was positive. BUT, my titer is only 1:10 and I keep reading how most people here had a ttg-iga in the hundreds or thousands, and the EMA titer was much higher. So now I am convinced that it was a false positive and when they do the biopsy it'll be negative.

      Welcome to the forum, @linnylou73! Are you claiming this based on a reaction or based upon actual testing?

      Sams club membermark columbian coffee is either cross contaminated or the pods contain gluten

      This varies a lot from person to person. I include foods that are not certified gluten-free but are labelled "gluten-free", while super sensitive people only use certified gluten-free. Both types of products have been found to contain gluten, so there are no guarantees either way: It you are in the super sensitive group, eating a whole foods based diet where you prepare everything is the safest bet, but it's also difficult. Eating out is the the most risky, even if a restaurant has a gluten-free menu. I also include items that are naturally gluten-free, for example refried beans, tuna, pasta sauces, salsas, etc., which have a low overall risk of contamination.
