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.

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      I'd go with a vodka tonic, but that's just me😉

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      Inconclusive results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
