After Ingestion!

[dekefish]

I'm wondering if anyone has any stand-by tools for if they accidentily ingest gluten??

I dont have any ipecac around (i'm going to buy some asap), i just drank some baking soda and water, but I'm wondering do any of these things help? Would ipecac even help?? thanks!

If your goal is to throw up, then yes, ipecac would help, but so would sticking your fingers down your throat.

That's a scary road to start down.

If it were me, I'd pop a couple of probiotic pearls and pray.

Or you could try the digestive enzymes, but I have no first hand experience with those, so I don't know if it would do you any good.

Good luck - I hope it's not too bad!

thanks for the quick response! i'm leaving work early to go find some ipecac, it'll be like 3 hrs after ingestion, but it's my birthday weekend coming up and i'd be bummed if i had to lay in bed wasted the whole time!! i will also look into getting some 'probiotic pearls' at the store.

Are you asking if you ingested gluten, can you throw it up and not get a reaction? If so, it won't work.

yes =\ thats what i was asking, and darnit!

That's why I suggested the probiotics and perhaps the digestive enzymes, oh and the prayer if you're the praying kind.......ipecac will make you throw up, but it won't do anything about the glutening.

i downed a bunch of probiotics and fell asleep 2 hrs earlier than i usually do.

the gut is feeling all bloated burning and numbish, marijuana's the only thing that helps at this point.

i pray i make it longer than a month without gluten soon. i really want to heal.
