How Do You Recover?

After I spend all night "commuting" between the couch and the bathroom, I feel miserable today. I can't even look at food, it just makes me sick all over again. How do you guys recover after you got "glutened"? I drank a lot of water all night long to stay hydrated but still, I feel exhausted and miserable.

Is there anything I could eat to calm my upset tummy/intestines?

Thanks, Danielle

When I get glutened, I am sick for about 1-5 days!! Yes, it varies for me at times. I have those days where the thought of food would make me sick. I would just drink water and eat bananas so i had something in my tummy, otherwise I felt worse!!! Rice?

Hope you feel better soon.

I had some cooked quinoa this morning and half a banana and it made me feel worse :( I wish I would be off work today because I don't think I can stand looking all the baked stuff and desserts today.

My daughter responds well to rice cooked in homemade chicken stock and pedialyte. I know pedialyte is supposed to be for kids but it helps me when I've needed it.

Hope you feel better.

Sometimes the BRAT Diet can be helpful... Banana, Rice, AppleSauce and Tea. Once the reaction takes place sometimes you just have to let it run it's course. Drink plenty of water, that seem to help me a bit.

I usually take Pepto Bismol, which sometimes can help a bit, sometimes not at all. I have one of those heating pads that you put in the microwave that aleviates the pain while it is on my tummy. And I basically just try and drink a lot of water and eat bland stuff like rice or sometimes a gluten free bagel.

I usually am in to much pain to do it, but I find that walking around is actually much better than sitting down.

And ofcourse a little whining never hurts. LOL!!!

Ditto the Pepto, and sometimes Benedryl. Water, lots of water. And sleep.

I drink a lot of water because I'm always thirsty when glutened, and my lips get very dry.

I find having a little something in my stomach actually helps the nausea. Banana, hot rice cereal--anything bland.

If I absolutely need to be somewhere, I take Immodium--if I'm home, I don't.

Other than that, I pretty much just have to wait it out <_<:D

I'm a bit radical and not lactose intolerant so it's Rum and ice cream for me. I've found moderate alchohol abuse good for the spirits too. I used to "wake and bake," but having been clean for a while, the medically proven, anti-inflammatory, mild euphoric properties of weed seem unnecessary. Needless to say none of this is recommended, but I am Doctor intolerant so home remedies arise.

My only small piece of advice to add would be if you are having trouble keeping liquids down, try freezing them and then sucking on them like a popsicle. Frozen Pedialyte really helped me when I was glutened or otherwise ill. Warm baths also help a lot to ease the pain for me but I guess you probably don't want to get too overheated.

I have great results with peppermint tea. Or lemon balm tea, which is harder to find.

Trader Joe's has a great "Mint Medley" tea with peppermint, spearmint and lemongrass. It soothes me and helps me feel less nauseous right away. I really do believe it lessens the time that I feel sick.

I drink lots of water and take Mylanta. As far as eating, I eat small amounts of rice throught the day.

If I do the throwing up deal before getting the D, I have trouble keeping anything at all down for several hours. Then I try Gatorade mixed with GingerAle or seltzer. And gluten free pretzels! My roommate bought me some the last time I got badly "poisoned" and they tasted good and they provide salt, which is good when you're dehydrated!

So it took me 4 days to recover from this accident. I drank a lot of water, ate some rice, apple sauce and bananas and everything seemed to be fine again.... till tonight. One of my co-workers used Worcester Sauce in the "Family Dinner" tonight and when I asked him what's in it (it was some stir fry kinda thing) he told me all tthe ingredients except for the sauce. Well, right when I was finished with my plate he goes like "ohhh, and i also used worcester sauce but that's not a big deal, right?" I checked the ingredients list and it says "Malt Vinegar".... guess I have a "happy night" ahead again.

I think I should start bringing my own food to work.

      Your high lactulose test, indicating out of control Small Itenstinal Bacterial O,vergrowth is one symptom.  You likely have low vitamin D, another symptom.  Unless you get lots of sun.   Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption, often leading to subclinical vitamin deficiencies.  A lot of people have these symptoms just before an acute phase of Celiac Disease.  Each of the symptoms can have multiple causes that are not celiac disease,  but when you start having multiple symptoms,  and each symptom is treated as a separate disease,  you have to think, maybe these are all one cause. celiac disease. There is a misconception that Celiac Disease is  a gastrointestinal disease and symptoms are only gastro related.  Wrong.  It is an autoimmune disease and has many symptoms that usually are disregarded.  I made that mistake until 63 y.o.  It can cause a dermatitis herpetiformis rash,  white spots on the brain.  It caused my alcoholism, arthritis, congested sineses, protein spots on my contacts lenses, swollen prostate, symptoms that are "part of aging". You may be tolerating gluten, the damage will happen. Of curiosity though, your age, sex, are you outside a lot without sunscreen?

      It would be interesting to see if you were tested again for blood antibodies after abandoning the gluten free diet for several weeks to a few months what the results would be. Don't misunderstand me. I'm not necessarily suggesting you do this but it is an option to think about. I guess I'm saying there is a question in my mind as to whether you actually ever had celiac disease. As I said above, the blood antibody testing can yield false positives. And it is also true that celiac-like symptoms can be produced by other medical conditions.

      Thank you for the reply In the early 2000's I did not have the endoscopy nor the biopsy I do not have those initial records I have only consulted a GI drs in the USA

      Welcome to the forum, @numike! We sometimes get reports like yours from community members who believe their celiac disease has "gone away." We think there can sometimes be cases of remission but not long term healing and that continued consumption of gluten will eventually result in a relapse. This is the state of our knowledge at this point but there is still a lot we don't know and celiac disease continues to surprise us with new findings on a frequent basis. So, we would not advise you to abandon a strict gluten-free diet. Perhaps you can draw consolation from the fact that at the present time you seem to be able to consume gluten without consequences when in situations where you do not have the option to eat gluten-free. But I would advise you to not generalize your recent experience such that you throw caution to the wind. But I want to go back to what you said about being diagnosed by blood test in the early 2000's. Did you not also have that confirmed with an endoscopy and biopsy of the small bowel lining? Normally, a celiac disease diagnosis is not concluded based on a blood test alone because there can be false positives. What kind of doctor did this testing? Was it done in the U.S. or overseas? In the last few years, it has become common in the U.K. to grant a celiac diagnosis from blood testing alone if the antibody test scores are 10x normal or greater. But that practice has not caught on in the U.S. yet and was not in place internationally in the early 2000's. Do you have a record of the tests that were done, the scores and also the reference ranges for negative vs. positive for the tests?
