Not a lot will help but I take sublingual B12 and Pepto Bismal for the stomach pain. I hope you feel better soon.

After the first 24 hours or so I usually take some Imodium so I can have a break and get some uninterrupted sleep. Also, as much as I don't want to eat, I usually feel better if I have something on stomach. Small amounts of rice and applesauce work well for me.

Pedialyte is great for staying hydrated. I find making popsicles out of the Pedialyte makes it easier to get down and stay down.

I hope your symptoms pass quickly.

Depending on the type of symptoms you have, Immodium might do the trick.

Depends on your symptoms.

I take a sinus/allergy non drowsy med if I need to work because I get wicked sinus headaches from gluten and before I know it my shoulders are all tight & it's miserable. Rarely, if it is really bad, I take advil because tylenol never touches these headaches. However, advil does a number on my stomach so it has to be really bad !

I agree with the Pepto Bismal - I use the tablet form. Again, if I need to work that's what I take. Ha - if I'm working (I work at a pool and any glutening, esp. sinus issues, worsens in the pool atmosphere) I will be on tylenol, sinus med and pepto. Ugh - I try really hard not to gluten myself !

Fresh sliced or grated ginger in hot water with honey is a great anti-nauseant too. Make yourself sit, relax, and enjoy it (I cheat with jarred 'fresh' ginger).

I eat light after glutening - lots of fluids and once my tummy has settled a bit (um, bathroom trip wise), I try to get a little exercise in, seems to help bring me back around mood & energy wise.

Red Bull does wonders for that "hit by a bus" feeling. It also seems to help with brain fog and even minor body aches. I think its because it has such a high does of caffeine along with vitamins. Anyway, that seems to be the only thing that really helps me make it through the day after being glutened.

      Is it gluten?

      What you’re describing is actually very common, and unfortunately the timing of the biopsy likely explains the confusion. Yes, it is absolutely possible for the small intestine to heal enough in three months on a strict gluten-free diet to produce a normal or near-normal biopsy, especially when damage was mild to begin with. In contrast, celiac antibodies can stay elevated for many months or even years after gluten removal, so persistently high antibody levels alongside the celiac genes and clear nutrient deficiencies strongly point to celiac disease, even if you don’t feel symptoms. Many people with celiac are asymptomatic but still develop iron and vitamin deficiencies and silent intestinal damage. The lack of immediate symptoms makes it harder emotionally, but it doesn’t mean gluten isn’t harming you. Most specialists would consider this a case of celiac disease with a false-negative biopsy due to early healing rather than “something else,” and staying consistently gluten-free is what protects you long-term—even when your body doesn’t protest right away.

      Yes, I meant if you had celiac disease but went gluten-free before screening, your results would end up false-negative. As @trents mentioned, this can also happen when a total IGA test isn't done.

      Trip to Anaheim/Disney

      I found at Disney springs and Disney they have specialist that when told about dietary restrictions they come and talk to you ,explain cross contamination measures tsken and work with you on choices. Its the one place I dont worry once I've explained I have celiac disease.  Thier gluten free options are awesome.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.
