How To Make The Pain Go Away

[Chrissyb]

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.
