Any Suggestions For Dealing With Gas Pain From Accidental Glutening?


Dianne W.

Recommended Posts

Dianne W. Rookie

Hi. After getting accidentally glutened, my son has horrible problems passing gas for a week or more. It is especially bad at night. I'm guessing this is because his daytime movements help move the gas through his system, but at night he doesn't have the benefit of all of that walking/crawling.

  • Is there anything we can do to help him (and us!) cope better through the gassy periods?
  • Is there a medicine we can talk to his doctor about prescribing?
  • Are there things we should do during the day to help make the nights less difficult (and endless!)?

I posted this in this section rather than the Babies and Children section since I'm thinking that the gas issue is likely something that affects gluten-intolerant people of all ages.

Thanks for your help,

Dianne Wood

Activated charcoal caps work really well for me. I'm not sure if this little tot can take them. They are a good sized capsule.

a heating pad might help ease the discomfort....or a hot bath.

I would appreciate anyone's help with this. The nights are sooooo long. He wakes every hour or so struggling to pass gas.

I had posted this in the "Coping With" forum and got the two responses above. Then I decided it really did belong in the "Children and Babies" forum and posted a new message last night. But it didn't get pinned apparently. Now this message from the other forum has ended up over here in the Children and Babies forum. No matter where the message is....I'd love some ideas on how to cope better through these nights.

Thanks!

Dianne, I moved it here since you requested it.

I hope someone else chimes in. I would definitely contact your doctor and ask for any advice, since you aren't seeing any improvements.

I've been diagnosed with Celiac Disease but neither of my children have yet. However, my youngest used to get gassy stomach problems and a nurse told me to give her Simethicone. It did seem to help her.

It's contained in an over the counter medication and has instructions for dosages. I don't remember the brand name we used at it was several years ago. I also don't know if it has inactive ingredients that would have gluten in it so check it out really well before you give it to him.

My son who is 3 now has the same issues and is constipated quite frequently...the best remedy when he gets like that and what helps him pass is probiotics. There is a children's formual that I buy at our health food store that needs to be refrigerated. I open the capsule and mix it into any bevereage he is drinking and he doesn't even know he is taking it. It goes best in milk/soymilk if your son drinks that.

my son is older but when he was younger we used simethicone drops (Mylacon is the brand name I believe).....I believe they are gluten free but you will have to verify that with the manufactor.

Otherwise I would probably do some searching for homepathic/natural methods to help.

The Mylacon non-staining formula is gluten free. But it has to be non staining. It helps my 6 month old. You might also check on Mylanta. I don't know if it is gluten free but has same active ingrediant.

      I've been making a lot of black bean brownies lately because it's one of the few gluten free dessert recipes that actually tastes palatable.  I've also seen chocolate cake recipes with black beans.  Someone mentioned a cookie recipe using lentils in place of flour.  Just wondering if anyone's run across any tried and true recipes using beans, lentils or peas for desserts?  I've seen a lot of recipes for garbanzo flour but I'm allergic to garbanzo beans/chickpeas.  Was wondering if adzuki or pinto beans might be useful in replacing some or all of the flour in baking.  Since gluten free flours can be crumbly was hoping the beans might help produce a better, less crumbly consistency.  Any recommendations for recipes?  Thanks.

      I've seen a lot of recipes for chia pudding, so I decided to make some with chia, water, cocoa and honey.  Didn't like the taste, so I added ground sunflower and ground pumpkin seed to it.  It tasted okay, but came out more like frosting that pudding.  I used to make pudding with tapioca starch, milk powder, water and sugar.  It came out very good but I haven't figured out what to use to replace the milk powder to make it dairy free.  Most starches will work in place of tapioca starch but quantity varies depending on the type of starch.  If I didn't add enough starch to get a pudding consistency, I'd add gelatin as well to fix it.  Avocado and cocoa makes a good dessert with a pudding like consistency.  Unfortunately, I have a bad reaction to avocados.

      Seems like when I find a gluten free product I like, the producer stops manufacturing it and then I have trouble finding a new gluten free source for it.  What's worse, I've been contacting companies to ask if their products are gluten free and they don't even bother to respond.  So, it's making it very hard to find safe replacements.  I was buying teff flour at nuts.com and they no longer carry it.  I noticed Naturevibe has teff and soy flour.  However, I can't get a response as to whether their flours are safe for someone with celiac.  Can't get a response from Aldi if their peas are safe for someone with celiac either.  I know Bob's Red Mill has teff flour but was hoping to get a large quantity.  I've been using up the 20 ounce Bob's Red Mill teff flour too quickly.  Does anyone know of a good source for teff or soy flour?  Any recommendations where to get gluten free beans, peas or lentils?  I found some packages of gluten free beans at Sprouts but not much variety.  I've also been looking for lentil elbow macaroni and it seems like no one is making that now that Tolerant was bought out.  Any suggestions for safe sources for these types of ingredients.  Thanks.

      From their website I see "organic barley leaf powder" as an ingredient. Keep in mind that the gluten is in the kernel, and not in the leaves. https://drinkag1.com/about-ag1/ingredients/ctr
