Natural Glutening Remedy

I have had occasional accidental glutenings over the past 6 months (haven't we all?).

The best remedy I've found is tea. I have had success with Lemon Balm tea. Lemon Balm is a medieval herb used for stomach problems and as a sleep aide. We have some growing in our yard. You can also buy seeds and I have bought tea bags.

Peppermint tea is also an old-fashioned stomach remedy.

Both should be harmless in normal quantities and I think are much better than using Immodium. I keep a bag or two in my wallet. They decrease the nausea and the stomach cramps, help me sleep and get me feeling better, faster.

I buy the Organic Mint Medley tea at Trader Joe's...it has peppermint, spearmint and lemon grass. Very tasty.

Thanks for the post - I'm always looking for natural remedies to my stomach issues! I don't have a Trader Joe's (in Colorado...yet) Do you know of any other brands that are gluten-free? I wonder if Celestial Seasonings has one, they always label it if it's gluten-free....

Thanks! :D

Cesestial Seasonings has lemon balm combined with cammomile (sp?) but I'm allergic to that; it's one of their blends. They have a few mint flavors too. You could try Whole Foods or Wild Oats too.

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rogol72 · Posted

      A friend of mine is in the bar trade most of his life and has never heard of lines being mixed for different type of beers and ciders. Better to stick with cans.

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Thanks very much for confirming my suspicion @Scott Adams! That helps a lot because I'm really trying to track down and get rid of these sources of cross-contact and so I'm going to just rule out the draft ciders and hope that helps. Also @Rogol72 its nice to hear you haven't had a problem on that side of the pond - draft cider lines being used for cider only certainly sounds like the right way to do it, but I think that must not always be practiced over here!

      Gluten challenge and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis

      By Zuma888 · Posted

      I didn't ask a doctor about this actually. I did ask several doctors a long time ago and they told me gluten has nothing to do with hashimoto's. One of them told me to do a gluten challenge to test for celiac, but at the time I was in graduate school so couldn't afford to be even more ill than I was. If you have the symptoms, I really don't advise you to do a gluten challenge. It messed me up mentally and physically for months. At the same time, I benefitted from doing the challenge in the sense that it convinced me that all my symptoms were truly from gluten - even stuff like insomnia! So now I am terrified to eat gluten, whereas before I would have a little once in a while and not notice anything dramatic.

      I am in a similar situation where I can't feasibly do a gluten challenge but have all the symptoms and I have 2 celiac genes. I'm curious if your doctor advised you to eat as if you had a diagnosis or if they were more dismissive about it.

      Negative, although I had most of the symptoms of celiac disease. I now eat as if I had a diagnosis.
