I keep a lot of Immodium, Rolaids and peppermint tea on hand. Not sure how much these things help, but my symptoms seem to go away in about 2 days.

I generally don't use anything--except if I have to go somewhere, I'll use Imodium. I just drink a lot of water and eat according to how I feel.

All Rolaids except the softchews (darn) are ok.

I'm not sure about that-- i called them a few months ago about the soft chews and the other new kind (i cant remember the name right now but they are chewable and the person i spoke to said that neither one was gluten-free-- im not sure the person i spoke to was brilliant, but ive been avoiding that kind too just in case.

my advice? dont take anything at all, let it go through your system, but drink a LOT of water and eat something if your hungry. Thats what i do, but then again, i am also scared of antacids after years of being glutened by tums and rolaids!

I drink Pepto Bismol, use one of those little pillows you heat up in the microwave and if I have it handy drink some peppermint tea. I actually find walking around helps to, but it's usually the last thing I want to do.

I'm a "Pepto Person," too. I only take it when I'm having a really bad day and then I just want to sleep.

Hope this helps......Best of Luck!

Hey Moongirl,

I noticed you are from Boston. I live on Cape Cod. Have you checked into the Healthy Villi support group?

I try to lay low and eat comfort foods when I get glutened. I drink flat ginger ale and water and I eat things in the BRAT diet (bananas, rice, applesauce, tea/toast).

Hi Moongirl,

I'm also a Pepto person. Immodium does squat for me due to the collagenous colitis. For me, since I NEVER get rid of the diarrhea even when totally gluten-free, my concern is more for pain management.

I have my heating pad on low, sit on my bed crosslegged, and rock forward and backward. I close my eyes, breath in through the nose and out of the mouth, and try to get myself into kind of a trance. It really does help! And I'm not some kind of Hari Krishna wacko, honest!!! ;)

Also, I stick to the only food that does not hurt when I am glutened. Potatoes. Cooked any way, doesn't matter - as long as it is potatoes, it won't hurt me.....

Hi Moongirl,

I haven't been to a Healthy Villi meeting yet, but I may go to the one on January 29th @ Mass Bay College. There is a support group on the Cape, but the Healthy Villi seems more organized and geared toward "newbies" like myself.

      @trents thank you for that information. My parents feel that cooking flour in toaster isn't a thing as its already cooked product before made? but Airbourne particles is my fear. Like I have had symptoms from 6 meters away had to leave massive migraine.

      Should not be a problem except for the most sensitive celiacs. The amount of gluten that would get in the air from cooking alone has got to be miniscule.

      Yes, except for the most sensitive, cross contamination from airborne gluten should be minimal. Highly sensitive people may have nutritional deficiencies.  Many times their bodies are in a highly inflamed state from Celiac, with high levels of histamine and homocysteine.  Vitamins are needed to break down histamine released from immune cells like mast cells that get over stimulated and produce histamine at the least provocation as part of the immune response to gluten. This can last even after gluten exposure is ended.  Thiamine supplementation helps calm the mast cells.  Vitamin D helps calm the immune system.  Other B vitamins and minerals are needed to correct the nutritional deficiencies that developed while the villi were damaged and not able to absorb nutrients.  The villi need vitamins and minerals to repair themselves and grow new villi. Focus on eating a nutritional dense, low inflammation diet, like the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, and supplementing to correct dietary deficiencies.  Once your body has the vitamins and minerals needed, the body can begin healing itself.  You can have nutritional deficiencies even if blood tests say you have "normal" blood levels of vitamins.  Blood is a transport system carrying vitamins from the digestive system to organs and tissues.  Vitamins are used inside cells where they cannot be measured.   Please discuss with your doctor and dietician supplementing vitamins and minerals while trying to heal.
