Got Glutened!

I made a really STUPID mistake. I asked my aunt for a piece of her milky way and ate a couple bites before looking at the ingredients. I was thinking it was gluten free for a second, but then doubted it 2 seconds later. When I read the ingredients, barley malt was listed. I only had two bites, but now I'm so bloated and feel like I'm gonna throw up. Anyway, I was wondering if there is anything that I could take to reduce the bloating. I've had plans to go out with some friends tomorrow night and can't back out. I have to dress up but all I feel like wearing is a very loose bulky sweatshirt. If anyone knows of anything that would help- even a slight possibility, I will try it. Please let me know, Thanks.

Dear Anteau25,

Those symptoms are exactly what I get when I get glutened. It is so miserable! It is amazing how such a small amount of the stuff can make us so sick! :( You certainly have me deepest sympathies! One member talked about food enzymes making their symptoms practically nonexistant when they are glutened! They said Transformation Enzymes, a company in Houston, makes them. For more immediate relief, you could call a local health food store and see if they carry any kind of food enzymes. I hope this helped. I hope you recover soon.

Sincerely,

NoGluGirl

I've never tried it and I don't even know if its gluten-free but what about Gax-X. I feel the same way when I get glutened, its usually the very first symptom and it is just miserable. Oh I hope you feel better for tonight, let us know how it goes.

digestive enzymes are a very good idea...

but when I get "glutened" I rely on Pepto Bismol Chewables...

Thanks for the suggestions. I do have papaya enzymes but don't know it they're gluten free. They are the only thing that stopped me from vomiting all the time before I was diagnosed. I'm gonna go hunt some down and make sure they're gluten free. The bloating has gotten better. Well, I feel like I can breathe now. Thanks again.

Dear Anteau25,

For the gluten, you will need a supplement that has the enzyme cellulase in it. Five really useful enzymes are cellulase, amylase, lipase, protease, and lactase. I take Phenergan if I get glutened. It is the only thing that stops me from getting the dry heaves to the point I would rather let someone kill me. I tried enzymes in the past, but they did nothing for me. I am not sure why. I am glad you are doing a little better.

Sincerely,

I did the same thing recently! We can have Milky Way MIDNIGHT, but not milky way regular.

I had never heard of milky way midnight, so I guess my brain just thought milky way was on the safe list.

I OFTEN go out when I don't feel well, though. I feel distracting myself from my pain is the best way to get through it.

Good luck and have fun!

This happens to me too often and its so aggravating to think of the unnnecessary pain we have to live with because of unclear food labeling. Its really hard because I live in a country that doesn't require proper food labeling and emulsifier and stabilizers are often gluten products but its just a guessing game. This time I got sick but it was my fault for not reading properly... Anyway I drank a liter of water with 2 teaspoons of epsom salts dissolved in it becuase it actually speeds up elimination. One thing I read which is also supposed to help is baking soda. For food intolerances that is, which really isnt the same thing, but I did that too and well I guess I stopped feeling nauseous but still gummed up the works.

My thoughts are just to get it out of there as fast as possible!

Anyone found that after they get glutened they can't eat sugar of really refined foods without feeling terrible. Also its like 5 times more likely that i get sick after eating gluten... :angry::(

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
