Hello, this is my first post here so I don't know if anything like this has been posted up before... :D

Anyway, I was diagnosed last summer and have been on the diet for awhile. However there have been a few occasions where I had accidently eaten food containing traces of gluten.

I just wanted to know if anybody takes anything like an aspirin to deal with it. I use to take Imodium - which helped, but I haven't taken any since diagnosis since I'm not sure if it is gluten free.

Immodium (at least the ones I get in the US) is gluten-free. I take compazine because my worst symptom is nausea and vomiting :(

I think it depends on your symptoms. Ginger tea helps soothe your stomach. Aspirin, ibuprofen, screaming- whatever it takes!

Welcome to the board!

Welcome!! I usually let the D run it's course. I let myself rest as much as I am able, vegging out is OK on those occasions for me. I'm usually pretty brain foggy too, so no brain surgery those days. And I can get ravenous.. so I let myself eat easy to digest, safe foods. I definately warn those around me that I may be lazy, angry, unreasonable, not too bright and if I'm running for the bathroom or refrigerator, LOOK OUT!!!

I take Bio K. It is a probiotic culture in the refridgerator in the health food section. Sometimes I can get someone to rub my belly.

      Other symptoms that Celiac Disease can cause but resemble other diseases so the cause may be misdiagnosed. What Are the Symptoms of Celiac Disease?

      Thanks Scott. They are gluten-free but cross contaminated.

      Hernia symptoms after gluten exposure

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi there @MCAyr I have a small umbilical hernia which came about during my second pregnancy.   I can just about see it, and feel it, when I stand or sit, but it is far less noticeable when I lie down.  I always know when I am putting on weight because I can get pain and burning near the site, funnily enough not on the hernia itself but either side!  I would imagine bloating could cause the same effect as weight gain. In my case I don't think it is my bowel protruding but a bit of fat  - sorry,  I realise this isn't painting a very pretty picture.  But in truth it is scarcely noticeable.  It has never really got bigger in size. I was rather hoping that it could be operated on but here in the UK they don't seem to operate on every hernia anymore.  My GP isn't remotely worried about it. In a way, I should be thankful - it is like an early warning system that I need to go on a diet! Cristiana

      The hernia description would likely be unrelated to celiac disease, but you'd need to get it checked out by your doctor to be sure it's a hernia.
