What Do You Do Right After You Get Glutened?

Hi guys,

Got glutened last night by hummus- so frustrating. I was wondering if there is anything you do to help in the following days. I suffer from constipation, soreness, head fog, fatigue and nasea. In the past I have limited soild food and tried to do at home smoothies with rice protein powder. This helps to not upset my stomach as I wil feel VERY full eating the smallest meal. I was thinking too, i know that fish oil in large amounts act as an anti-inflamitory to the intestines, so the thought of raw salmon sounded very good. I am always unsure if i should double my supplements or wait a week until the gluten goes away and then try hard to heal. I usually have a delayed response (about 2 days til i feel it) then it will last about a week.

I was just wondering if you have any sort of ritual or routine that you think helps you out?

I usually eat rice, bananas, and beef broth for a day or two...depending on how bad it is...then I start incorporating other things little by little...I'm usually back to normal by day 3.

I hope this helps :)

When I get glutened I find that Red Bull really helps. It's a liquid shot of caffeine and B vitamins. It minimizes my nausea and definitely helps with the fatigue. I can't say it helps the bloating or the general discomfort, but my mood improves which, for me, is a biggie. If you get really nauseous though, you may not want to try it because of the caffeine. For me though, it's a life saver.

I have to eat really small meals, too. Usually plain chicken sits fairly well, bananas do ok, but I can't do a whole lot of carbs, so I have to break them up throughout the day.

For the first few days after I've been glutened, I drink apple cider vinegar with water (like 1 tsp/1 oz of water) after I eat and sometimes in between. I'm not sure if the glutening minimizes the stomach acid that I produce, but it certainly helps me get through the few days of "the burn".

I drink alot of peppermint tea, it seems to calm my stomach.

Keep hydrated (I mix gatorade and water), eat mild foods (bananas, rice, no dairy), and keep gas meds on hand.

Hope you feel better soon!

eat plain (if I can stomach it, I get nausea), take extra doses of vitamin D and B12 for the mental symptoms and sometimes a natural diuretic if the edema is more than 2 lbs in 1 day.

this weekend I also tried an anti histimane to see if that would lessen the impact, didn't help with the D and was okay otherwise, not entirely sure if it helped or not

Thanks guys.

I wonder if an anti-inflamitory would help? My stomach gets really inflamed and i think thats part of what causes my constipation. Any thoughts?

catch 22 with the anti inflams, it will reduce the inflamation but then some of them can increase constipation as well <_<

someone else on this forum has suggested aloe vera gel, that's supposed to have natural anti inflamatory properties, I was thinking of giving it a try myself

Just went through this myself -- 2 days of symptoms (D, brain fog, fatigue). It is so frustrating to be rolling along gluten-free, feeling OK and then -- yikes! What did I eat? How did this happen?

Anyway....aloe vera gel helps me. I use the Organic, Whole Leaf kind. I mix it with a glass of water -- about 1 part gel to 4 parts water -- stir it up and just swig it down. It really helps me.

Good luck.

PS -- I did figure out that I definitely have a problem if I eat too many corn products too. :mellow:

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
