That's about all you can do - my daughter gets the sickest if she get gluten (evena smidge). Advil for the migaine, yogurt and banana, chicken and rice soup of she feels up to it, basically small meals (snacks really) when she feels hungry and rest (she usually gets tired too)

I'm still figuring this one out, but I have been assembling a kit to help me deal with glutenings. There are a bunch of other postings on this -- and at least one current one on what to eat.

I find that Immodium helps me quite a bit as does eating comfort food and drinking lots of water. If I'm feeling remotely able to do so, it also helps me to take a walk -- I have to be careful about not continuing my normal workout schedule (I'm training for a solo hike and get really frustrated when I can't keep up with my plans) because it's too strenuous, but I do find that some kind of exercise does seem to help clear things out of my system faster.

I've recently added activated charcoal and an emergency bottle of Ativan to my kit -- haven't tried them yet. The charcoal is supposed to absorb toxins, so it's something good for dealing with glutening immediately -- it also absorbs just about everything else, including nutrients that your body really needs (especially when sick), so I'm expecting that the timing of the charcoal will have to be kind of careful. The Ativan is for the insomnia and anxiety -- I don't know whether it'll do what I need it to yet or not. I also take a daily sublingual B complex which I amp up when I've been glutened -- it helps with the overall stressiness.

i take prescription fennergen (SP?) and it helps so much, i have built up an intolerance to it over the years ( i take it like 4-7 times a year) and it doesn't make me tired now.
