Can anyone give me some ideas about dealing with inflammation and relapses. I have been on the diet for about a year and am typically pretty good, but I have had a few relapses mostly because of being unaware of ingredients in food at parties or restaurants. I have read a few things about taking charcoal if you accidentally ingest some gluten but have no idea where to get this and what to ask for. I am also trying aloe juice. I as glad to find this board and hope to contribute back at some point. Any guidance from you long timers would be appreciated....

Hi Anthony, and welcome!

When I get a reaction, I stick to bland foods like bananas, mashed and baked potatoes, tea, and lots of water. If I need to be somewhere, I will use Immodium. I find something in my stomach helps with the nausea.

Everyone has favorite "remedies" that seem to help. I've heard ginger ale, peppermint tea and candied ginger are also helpful.

I've also heard of taking the charcoal, although I've not tried it myself. I have seen it at CVS drug store near the other stomach meds.

Anthony, aloe vera juice, slippery elm mixed in a little water and occational peppermint tea does it for me. Slippery elm seems to work the best. Besides that just stick to eating as little as possible and things that doesn't anger the stomach while you ride it out.

Hi,

Even though this doesn't refer specifically to inflammation of the tummy stuff, I still think it will help a little with discomfort. Have you ever tried an epsom salt bath? I don't think it'll solve all the world's problems, but it may make you feel better when you're dealing with being glutened. It's cheap, it's easy, and it feels good. I

Just for general anti-inflammatory stuff: Fish oil and turmeric are good regular supplements to add (fish oil for the high EPA/DHA omega-3's). Also, Acupuncture is great for dealing with inflammatory reactions -- it helps your body's normal healing processes rebalance, so you may not see immediate results, but it will get significantly better over the long term.

Probiotics have helped me so much I can't even tell you.

Perhaps it is just me, but every time I take turmeric supplements I get a stomach ache, sometimes diarrhea. I seem to be ok with it added to food though.

That happens to a lot of people - it did to me as well! For about the first week or so you may feel weird, then it should disapate.

I didn't tolerate probiotics real well either, plus I hate pills. You may want to try adding some live yogurt to your diet, that seemed to help balance flora and fauna in the gut without any ill effects for me.

With regards to the inflammation, i suggest you soak in the tub with Open Original Shared Link. Id prefer for you to have those that have Epsom salts in them since they have superb anti-inflammatory properties. You can do this to soothe the affected area and reduce the inflammation.

For general bodily inflammation--I get horribly achy when I accidentally eat gluten, I second the epsom salt baths and also suggest green tea--either the tea it self or extract supplements.

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.
