I started gluten free diet yesterday. I just wondered if anyone who had abdominal pains can recommend anything to eat or drink that can help speed up the healing process for my digestive tract, intestines etc. Had pretty much constant pain at the mo since sunday night

The best advice I can give you is to keep your food simple. No processed foods, try to stay away from gluten free items like breads and crackers, all those things. Eat simply, rice, maybe a baked potato, chicken breast--very mild foods for a few weeks, maybe several weeks until you are feeling better. Your tummy needs time to feel better. Mild foods are easier to digest, more of a comfort food for your tummy. I never had a problem with dairy, so in the beginning, I ate cottage cheese with applesauce and I did very well.

Good luck.

flax seed oil is really good for healing the gut, multivitamins will help you while you are still having trouble absorbing, other than that it is just a matter of sticking to gluten-free easy to digest foods.

You might be able to find some herbal teas that help with your symptoms (eg: nettle tea if you have constipation) just make sure that they are gluten-free as sometimes they have 'flavors' that are derived from wheat.

      Gluten Sensitivity

      By trents · Posted

      @rjane, yes, it often feels overwhelming in the beginning. But let me encourage you by saying that it will get easier. You and your husband will develop, over time, a sixth sense of how gluten is typically hidden in the food supply and where it is found and you will develop an inventory of foods that you can trust and to stock your pantry with. The largest risk involves eating out at restaurants. Even if you order things that are naturally gluten free, you have no control over cross contamination happening back in the kitchen in how things are prepared and handled. Another trap is eating at other people's homes who are trying to accommodate your husband's need to eat gluten free but...

      Has your hubbie been checked for SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth)? This is not uncommon in the celiac population. https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/21820-small-intestinal-bacterial-overgrowth-sibo

      Update: I got a call on Monday from the GI doctor's office, they had a cancellation and an appointment opened up for Tuesday. Not much time to prepare, but I went ahead and did it anyway. I haven't been gluten free at any point, but I haven't really loaded up as much as was recommended, either. It takes another 6-8 weeks to get the results, so I'd rather get it done now. I just hope it will be enough and I won't have to try again and delay it even longer. Thanks for the recommendations and thoughtful responses, much appreciated. I will be following up with my GP soon to check for nutritional deficiencies while I'm waiting on the test results.
