I am new to the site and to Celiacs I dxd myself after many years of stomach problems. My questions is other then staying away from gltuen and wheat is there a way to help your stomach feel better when you accidently eat wheat. My stomach hurts like crazy when that happens like the other night after having a fudge cycle which my husband didn't know had gluten in it. After starting to eat it my stomach began to ache and grumble so I read the box and sure enough it had gluten ugh. I didn't know what to do to make it feel better. This is so not fun I have multiple sclerosis also and celiac makes the ms worse. Oh well such is live. Glad I found this site. Chrissy

Look into reflexolgoy, have your DH rub your feet and find the real sore spots. My boyfriend does this for me and helps out so much. Took my horrible stomach cramps away, so anytime I feel bad he rubs my feet. You will that most of your sore spots are going to be on the edge of your feet. That is the only thing that has helped me.

Taking digestive enzymes like bromelain/papain and pancreatin plus pro-biotics has helped me--esp. if I take them right away. If I don't have them, eating fresh papaya and pineapple and real live non sugary yogurt really helps.

I tried Glutenzyme in a pinch and it really made a difference. I've noticed similar products out there.

Afterwards I now also take things to help out my liver with the resultant overload--dandelion or milk thistle always help, and Oregon grape root or yellow dock are good if I don't have D. Cleavers with the dandelion root helps a lot by getting rid of the junk stuck in the lymphatic system.

I just heard about Peptizyde and want to try it out some time. Helps against leaky gut and lots of food sensitivities including gluten I hear.

Blackberry root and leaves are good against D. Peppermint, fennel and chamomile are soothing.

Marshmallow root and slippery elm help soothe the intestines and lessen gut inflammation.

If nothing else, sometimes taking baking soda in water helps neutralize some of the allergic response and pepto bismol will counteract D.

Exercise too helps afterwards if you can get yourself to do it.

      Could this be a new intolerance

      He’s noticed it after having a few different kinds of nuts and nuts on top of a gluten free nut bar. and it’s happened after having some fresh caught fish, and tonight from packaged plain salmon from the supermarket. He has stomach cramps and feels the need to vomit to try and relieve the symptoms.

      Could this be a new intolerance

      Welcome to the forum, @Celiacpartner! Does this happen with all nuts and all fish or just certain kinds? And are we talking about products that are advertised as gluten-free eaten at home or things served in a restaurant?

      Could this be a new intolerance

      Hello. My husband was diagnosed with celiac disease 30yrs ago. He has a gluten free diet, with the odd bit of contamination when eating out or eating something that says may contain, which he probably shouldn’t but he seems to tolerate his diet ok. The last few times he has eaten fish and larger servings of nuts he has noticed stomach pains like he used t...

      Gluten exposure when trying to conceive

      My reaction to a gluten bolus exposure is similar to yours, with 2-3 hours of severe abdominal cramps and intractable emesis followed by several hours of diarrhea. I don't necessarily equate that one large exposure to gluten with significant intestinal lining damage, however. I think it's just a violent reaction to a what the body perceives to be a somewhat...

      Gluten exposure when trying to conceive

      Wondering about some thoughts on how long to wait to try to get pregnant after a gluten exposure? I have been diagnosed for 10 years and have followed the diet strictly. I have been cross contaminated before, but have never had a full on gluten exposure. I went to a restaurant recently, and the waiter messed up and gave me regular bread and told me...

He has a gluten free diet, with the odd bit of contamination when eating out or eating something that says may contain, which he probably shouldn’t but he seems to tolerate his diet ok. The last few times he has eaten fish and larger servings of nuts he has noticed stomach pains like he used to get when he eats gluten. After 30yrs of getting it right and knowing what he can and can’t have with essentially no major instances, this has thrown us. Could this be a new intolerance or an allergy and has it happened to anyone else after so many years? thanks

      My reaction to a gluten bolus exposure is similar to yours, with 2-3 hours of severe abdominal cramps and intractable emesis followed by several hours of diarrhea. I don't necessarily equate that one large exposure to gluten with significant intestinal lining damage, however. I think it's just a violent reaction to a what the body perceives to be a somewhat toxic substance that I am no longer tolerant of because I have quit exposing myself to it regularly. It's just the body purging itself of it rather than an expression of significant damage. Before diagnosis, when I was consuming gluten daily, I had little to no GI distress. I was, for the most part, a "silent celiac". The damage to my small bowel lining didn't happen all at once but was slow and insidious, accumulating over a period of years. The last time I got a big shot of gluten was about three years ago when I got my wife's wheat biscuits mixed up with my gluten-free ones. There was this acute reaction after about two hours of ingestion as I described above. I felt washed out for a few days and fully recovered within a week or so.  Now, I'm a 74-year-old male. So, I'm not worried about being pregnant. And I don't want to contradict your physicians advice. But I just don't think you have done significant damage to your small bowel lining by one episode of significant gluten ingestion. I just don't think it works that way.

      Wondering about some thoughts on how long to wait to try to get pregnant after a gluten exposure?  I have been diagnosed for 10 years and have followed the diet strictly. I have been cross contaminated before, but have never had a full on gluten exposure. I went to a restaurant recently, and the waiter messed up and gave me regular bread and told me it was gluten free. 2 hours later I was throwing up for the whole evening. I have never had that kind of reaction before as I have never had such a big exposure. My husband and I were planning to start trying to get pregnant this month. My dr did blood work to check for electrolytes and white blood cells, but did not do a full nutritional panel. Most of my GI symptoms have resolved in the past 2 weeks, but I am definitely still dealing with brain fog, fatigue and headaches. My dr has recommended I wait 3 months before I start to try to get pregnant.   I have read else where about how long it can take for the intestine to fully heal, and the impacts gluten exposure can have on pregnancy. I guess I am really wondering if anyone has had a similar experience? How long does it take to heal after 1 exposure like that, after following the diet so well for 10 years? Is 3 months an okay amount of time to wait? Is there anything I can do in the meantime to reduce my symptoms?
