Getting glutened stinks!!! :angry:

I know some people take charcoal pills (Glutenease?) to help speed it along, but I have never tried it. For me, it's one of those things that has to run its course. It usually takes me anywhere from a few hours to a couple of days depending on how much gluten I've consumed. I recommend drinking lots of water and simple foods for a couple of days (plain rice, baked potato, plain chicken breast...no roughage). I hope you feel better soon! :)

From your sig (and from your mention of having "hives" among your symptoms), it sounds like you might have a true wheat allergy mixed into your Celiac symptoms. If so, that's IgE mediated, and A FEW of your unpleasant symptoms might be relieved by taking an oral antihistamine like Benadryl every 4-6 hours (as long as you can have Benadryl). If the Benadry doesn't bring any relef, you might not want to continue taking it. But it might help with some of the symptoms that have to do with a histamine release (internal as well as external).

Unfortunately, I don't have any great tips on how to calm down the Celiac aspects of your reaction, but I hope you get some good advice.

My son has Celiac and also has an IgE-mediated peanut allergy, so we have dealt with both (just not together). If you have IgE type food allergies, you might consider looking up the symptoms of anaphylaxis and carrying an Epi-Pen (Rx) and in case you ever have a really bad reaction that swells your airways or drops your blood pressure. The epinephrine is the only drug that can stop an anaphylactic reaction.

Jessica-

I don't know of anything to make the symptoms go away any faster, but I try to think of having the symptoms as a "positive" thing. Some celiacs don't experience any symptoms when they eat gluten bu accident. I feel like if I were one of those people, I might keep making the same mistake and end up doing damage. You can at least be greatful that your body is trying to give you a message not to do it again. :)

Hope you feel better!

I do indeed have Wheat Allergies! And I actually do not have "confirmed" celiac but whatever. I will try the benadryl today & see if it helps. I normally take it if I accidentally eat one of my other food allergies & yes I do have an Epi-Pen as I have had an anaphylaxis reaction before. Just really hate to think about using b/c I never have before! *knock on wood*

Thanks for all the input & support ya'll!

      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.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!
