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.

Baked potatoes help me.

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.

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hi, @Ginger38, I've had shingles in the past.  I understand how miserable you're feeling.   Not only do i have the chickenpox virus lurking about, I also have the cold sore virus that occasionally flares with a huge cold sore on my lip when stressed or exposed to gluten.  The virus lives dormant in the nerves on the left side of my face.  It causes Bell's Palsy (resulting in drooling).  The cold sore virus is also in my eye.  My eye swells up and my vision is diminished permanently whenever I have a flare, so it's of the utmost importance to keep flares away and treat them immediately if they do happen so I don't lose any more vision.   I take the amino acid supplement L-Lysine.  Lysine messes with the replication of viruses, which helps the body fight them off.   I haven't had an outbreak for several years until this year when exceptionally stressed and contaminated, it flared up again. Lysine has been shown to be beneficial in suppression of viruses like the cold sore virus (a herpetic virus), the chickenpox virus (also a herpetic virus), as well as the HIV virus, and even the Covid virus.   I also take additional Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) because Thiamine has antiviral properties as well.   For pain, a combination of Thiamine (like TTFD or Benfotiamine or Thiamine Hydrochloride), with B12 Cobalamine, and Pyridoxine B6 have been shown to have analgesic properties which relieve pain and neuropathy.    The combination of Thiamine B1, Pyridoxine B6 and Cobalamine B12 really does work to relieve pain.  I take it for back pain from crushed vertebrae in my back.  This combination also works on other pain and neuropathy.   I usually buy a supplement that combines all three and also Riboflavin B2 called EXPLUS online.  However, it's made in Japan and the price with the tariffs added makes it really expensive now.  But the combination of Thiamine B1, Pyridoxine B6 and B12 Cobalamine (and Riboflavin B2) still work even if taken separately.   I can't take Tylenol or ibuprofen because of stomach upsets.  But I can take the vitamin combination without side effects.  However, you can take the three vitamins at the same time as other pain relievers for added benefit.  The vitamins help other pain relievers work better. I hope you will try it.  Hopeful you'll feel better quickly.

      I think, after reading this, that you areso traumatized by not being able yo understand what your medical advisors have been  what medical conditions are that you would like to find a group of people who also feel traumatized who would agree with you and also support you. You are on a crusade much as the way the US Cabinet  official, the Health Director of our nation is in trying to change what he considers outdated and incorrect health advisories. He does not have the education, background or experience to be in the position he occupies and is not making beneficial decisions. That man suffered a terrible trauma early in his life when his father was assonated. We see now how he developed and worked himself into a powerful position.  Unless you are willing to take some advice or  are willing to use a few of the known methods of starting on a path to better health then not many of us on this Celiac Forum will be able to join you in a continuing series of complaints about medical advisors.    I am almost 90 years old. I am strictly gluten free. I use 2 herbs to help me stay as clear minded as possible. You are not wrong in complaining about medical practitioners. You might be more effective with a clearer mind, less anger and a more comfortable life if you would just try some of the suggestions offered by our fellow celiac volunteers.

      Thus has got to STOP , medical bit believing us! I literally went through 31 years thinking it was just a food allergy as its downplayed by medical if THEY weren't the ones who diagnosed us! Im positive for HLA-DQ2 which is first celiac patient per Iran and Turkey. Here in the States especially in Cali its why do you feel that way? Why do you think your celiac? Your not eating gluten so its something else.Medical caused me depression. I thought I was safe with my former pcp for 25 years considering i thought everything I went through and going through will be available when I get fired again for health. Health not write-ups my health always come back when you're better.Im not and being tossed away at no fault to my own other than shitty genes.I was denied disability because person said he didn't know how to classify me! I said Im celiac, i have ibs, hernia, sciatica, high blood pressure, in constant pain have skin and eye issues and menopause intensified everything. With that my celiac nightmare began to reprove my disregarded disease to a bunch of clowns who think they are my careteam when they said I didn't have...I feel Im still breathing so I can fight this so no body else has to deal with this nightmare. Starting over with " new care team" and waisting more time on why I think I am when diagnosed in 1994 before food eliminated from my diet. P.s everything i went through I did write to medical board, so pretty sure I will continue to have a hard time.
