How Do You Deal With Reactions?

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.

      Severe severe mouth pain

      @Charlie1946, celiac disease damages the lining of the small bowel which is the part of the intestinal track where all our nutrition is absorbed. Celiac disease, therefore, often results in nutritional deficiency related health issues. In addition, you describe a diet that sounds largely devoid of fruits and vegetables and dairy (for calcium). This does not...

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      The Benfotiamine and thiamax need magnesium to make life sustaining enzymes. Yes, go ahead and take the Benfotiamine and Thiamax now and include the magnesium as soon as possible. Yes, take the magnesium at breakfast, too. I take my Benfotiamine and TTFD Thiamax and B Complex at the beginning of breakfast. I take the magnesium after I finish...

      Severe severe mouth pain

      @knitty kitty thank you for replying so quickly! I have not done well at all taking vitamins or supplements, I have such a hard time swallowing even small pills, so I have resorted to crushing them and taking them with Gatorade. Pretty much I eat baked chicken tenders, Fairlife chocolate protein shakes, gluten free crackers. Thank you so much for the advice...

      Severe severe mouth pain

      Hi, thank you for the quick reply! I was diagnosed about 5 years ago I think, I try to be extremely careful with what I eat so I don't get cross contamination. I used to get little sores in my mouth when I was little, usually from sucking on hard candy, but L-lisene would clear it right up. I got that Nasal Navage thing and used it twice and that's when...

      The thiamax and benfo I ordered should come tomorrow. I will start Friday ny b complex the benfo and thiamax for breakfast. I haven't ordered magnesium yet. I wanted to start with this first then add magnesium. Should it be fine to take b complex the thia/benfo and eventually magnesium at breakfast together? Thanks

      @Charlie1946, celiac disease damages the lining of the small bowel which is the part of the intestinal track where all our nutrition is absorbed. Celiac disease, therefore, often results in nutritional deficiency related health issues. In addition, you describe a diet that sounds largely devoid of fruits and vegetables and dairy (for calcium). This does not bode well for good oral health or good health in general.  It can take two years or more for good healing of the lining of the small bowel after adopting a consistently gluten free diet. In the meantime, adding in good quality supplements can help compensate for poor nutritional absorption efficiency. Common over the counter vitamins and supplements are often optimized for shelf life rather than good assimilation/utilization by the body. We commonly recommend that those struggling with nutritional deficiencies start taking high potency B-complex, 5-10,000 IU of E daily, D3, Zinc and magnesium glycinate. They need to be checked to make sure they are gluten free since wheat starch can be used as a filler in pills and vitamins. Costco Kirkland Signature and Nature Made brands are often good choices. What is causing your swallowing problems? Is it the thrush?

      Hi, thank you for the quick reply! I was diagnosed about 5 years ago I think,  I try to be extremely careful with what I eat so I don't get cross contamination. I used to get little sores in my mouth when I was little, usually from sucking on hard candy, but L-lisene would clear it right up. I got that Nasal Navage thing and used it twice and that's when I thought I had a sinus infection. So I got a z pack. Then I noticed my tongue was coated and it was white except right down the middle which was more brown and crusty, like the corners of my mouth. I also have dry mouth and I went way too long before I started treating it. So then I had some kind of huge pill and Nystatin mouthwash. My mother in law's new husband ( they live upstairs) started complaining of exactly the same symptoms as me. He went to urgent care, they said it wasn't thrush, it was shingles. We both went to our dentist's for cleanings, I don't have insurance so I really couldn't tell they cleaned my teeth at all. But she said my mouth looked good, all cleared up. I had a day and a half of no pain and then it came right back. So I got more pills and miracle mouthwash. There are times it feels like dry socket and times it feels like it's bleeding but it's not. I don't see any gum or facial swelling, I did see a couple of tiny ulcers on my bottom lip, roof of my mouth is still sore, and my tongue and cheeks are still a little coated. I am just at a loss. My mother in law's husband, they  took swabs and called back a week later and said it was a new herpes variant virus that is going around but not contagious. He was cured after a week! And I'm going on 3 months 😭
