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 flare years after diagnosis

      Hi Trent, no dairy. Other than good quality butter. I have been lactose free for years. No corn, sugar, even seasonings and spices. I don't eat out. I cook my own food.

      @nancydrewandtheceliacclue, are you consuming dairy? Not sure if dairy is part of the carnivore diet.

      Celiac flare years after diagnosis

      Hello Russ! Thank you so much for your reply. I have not had an antibody test done, ever, relating to gluten. Last year I had an allergy test done via blood draw (as my insurance wouldn't cover the skin test) but this was for pollen and grasses, not food. Even on the blood test I had extremely high levels of reactions to each allergen. Could this seasonal...

      Celiac flare years after diagnosis

      The sensitivity of people with coeliac disease varies greatly between individuals. The generally accepted as safe limit for most people is 10 milligrams per day. This equates to a piece of bread the size of a small pea. Some people report that they are more sensitive than this, but others can very occasionally eat a normal gluten containing meal without reacting...

      Hello Russ! Thank you so much for your reply.  I have not had an antibody test done, ever, relating to gluten. Last year I had an allergy test done via blood draw (as my insurance wouldn't cover the skin test) but this was for pollen and grasses, not food. Even on the blood test I had extremely high levels of reactions to each allergen. Could this seasonal allergy inflammation be contributing to my celiac inflammation? I am so careful, there is no way I could ingest gluten. For example, couple of months ago I tried a cough drop that says it was gluten free. I checked ingredients, it seemed fine. But just taking one of those caused me to have nausea, vomiting, and the same extreme abdominal pain. Have you ever heard of anyone else having symptoms like mine after being diagnosed celiac and strictly gluten free? The last episode I had like this was yesterday, after I ate a certified gluten-free coconut macaroon with a little chocolate on it. I have eaten coconut and chocolate before with no issue,  so I didn't see how I could all of a sudden have such a strong response.

      The sensitivity of people with coeliac disease varies greatly between individuals. The generally accepted as safe limit for most people is 10 milligrams per day. This equates to a piece of bread the size of a small pea. Some people report that they are more sensitive than this, but others can very occasionally eat a normal gluten containing meal without reacting. I don't think that touching or throwing bread around would lead to you ingesting enough to cause a reaction. There are case reports of farmers with coeliac disease reacting to the dust from gluten-containing animal feed but they were inhaling large amounts of dust over a long period of time in barns. Perhaps you episodes are caused by a reaction to something other than gluten? Have you had your antibody levels checked to see whether you are still being exposed to gluten?
