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::(

      In the study linked above, the little girl switched to a gluten free diet and gained enough weight that that fat pad was replenished and surgery was not needed.   Here's the full article link...

      Hello, @Jordan Carlson, So glad you're feeling better.   Tecta is a proton pump inhibitor.  PPI's also interfere with the production of the intrinsic factor needed to absorb Vitamin B12.  Increasing the amount of B12 you supplement has helped overcome the lack of intrinsic factor needed to absorb B12. Proton pump inhibitors also reduce the production of digestive juices (stomach acids).  This results in foods not being digested thoroughly.  If foods are not digested sufficiently, the vitamins and other nutrients aren't released from the food, and the body cannot absorb them.  This sets up a vicious cycle. Acid reflux and Gerd are actually symptoms of producing too little stomach acid.  Insufficient stomach acid production is seen with Thiamine and Niacin deficiencies.  PPI's like Tecta also block the transporters that pull Thiamine into cells, preventing absorption of thiamine.  Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are difficulty swallowing, gagging, problems with food texture, dysphagia. Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are symptoms of ADHD and anxiety.  Vyvanse also blocks thiamine transporters contributing further to Thiamine deficiency.  Pristiq has been shown to work better if thiamine is supplemented at the same time because thiamine is needed to make serotonin.  Doctors don't recognize anxiety and depression and adult onset ADHD as early symptoms of Thiamine deficiency. Stomach acid is needed to digest Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in fruits and vegetables.  Ascorbic acid left undigested can cause intestinal upsets, anxiety, and heart palpitations.   Yes, a child can be born with nutritional deficiencies if the parents were deficient.  Parents who are thiamine deficient have offspring with fewer thiamine transporters on cell surfaces, making thiamine deficiency easier to develop in the children.  A person can struggle along for years with subclinical vitamin deficiencies.  Been here, done this.  Please consider supplementing with Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) which helps immensely with dysphagia and neurological symptoms like anxiety, depression, and ADHD symptoms.  Benfotiamine helps with improving intestinal health.  A B Complex and NeuroMag (a magnesium supplement), and Vitamin D are needed also.

      @pothosqueen, Welcome to the tribe! You'll want to get checked for nutritional deficiencies and start on supplementation of B vitamins, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1.   There's some scientific evidence that the fat pad that buffers the aorta which disappears in SMA is caused by deficiency in Thiamine.   In Thiamine deficiency, the body burns its stored fat as a source of fuel.  That fat pad between the aorta and digestive system gets used as fuel, too. Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test to look for thiamine deficiency.  Correction of thiamine deficiency can help restore that fat pad.   Best wishes for your recovery!   Interesting Reading: Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome in a 6-Year-Old Girl with Final Diagnosis of Celiac Disease https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31089433/#:~:text=Affiliations,tissue and results in SMAS.

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.
