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.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system

      Scott Adams. I was dealing with a DR that didn't care about me being celiac. I repeatedly told him that I was celiac and is everything gluten-free. He put an acrylic lens from j&j. I called the company to ask about gluten and was told yes that the acrylic they use has gluten....then they back tracked immediately and stopped talking to me. The Dr didn't care that I was having issues. It took me 6 months and a lot of sickness to get it removed.... which can only happen within 6 months. The Dr that took it out said that it was fused and that's why I lost vision. If they would have removed it right away everything would be fine. He put in a silicone one that was gluten-free and I've had no issues at all in the other eye. Do not do acrylic!

      Welcome @Martha Mitchell, I too would like to know more about your prior lenses, and especially about the potential of gluten in lenses. In theory this should not harm most celiacs, as the autoimmune reaction normally begins in the gut, however, in those who are super sensitive or have dermatitis herpetiformis it may be a potential issue.

      It's most likely going to be a celiac disease diagnosis based on your blood test results, but wait for your doctor to give you a green light for going gluten-free, as they may want to do additional testing. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):
