Organic Gluten Free Foods

Hi All!

I am having a bit of a dilemma. Here are the details.

Two weeks ago I was in Cuba - loved my vacation, and I was symptom free the entire time I was there. Gluten free eating was possible. The food however; was VERY bland and I found myself craving foods that would definitely get me in trouble. Upon arriving home I did what I shouldn't have and had a few slices of pizza. Well, here I am a week and a half later and still having spasms and feeling sick. I also realized last week that the cereal I was eating had malt flavouring.

So my problem is my bowels and stomach are in a huge flare up and I just want them to calm down (I haven't had anything with gluten in it since last week when I stopped eating the cereal). I went out and purchased some new cereal for breakfast but its all organic. Organic is high in fibre which affects my bowels and they just won't calm down.

Any suggestions?

I advise you to go to the health food store and buy two homeopathic remedies: Nux vomica, and sepia. They really help me when glutened. Nux vomica helps with indigestion, and sepia with inflammation.

I don't think you ought to eat any gluten-free replacement foods like cereal right now at all, until your digestive system calms down. If I was you, I would eat only easy to digest foods, like chicken, fish, vegetables (not beans) and some fruit like apples and pears. Nothing with grains and/or starches like cereal, bread, cookies, crackers, cake etc.

Thanks for your reply! Greatly appreciated. What about rice? Plain old white rice. Would there be any problems with it?

I am going to talk to my boyfriends mom, she visits the health food store all the time, perhaps she has some of those things at home. My only fear is, I have had difficulties with health food products causing diarrhea, will these do that?
