Remedies For Gas/bloating/pain? Butter/oils To Use?

Do we have to suffer while we heal or if we mistakenly eat something that triggers painful gas and bloating. Are there any remedies for that pain or symptoms that are gluten-free and worth trying? Would Tylenol help with pain? Is there a gas remedy that is gluten free and doesn't have sweeteners that are hard to digest? Does Pepto help? Digestive enzymes? Herbal/Digestion teas, Digestion gum?

I am finding that the butter alternatives I have always used are not agreeing with my now fussy system - is real butter the best or are there any other good options?

THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR ANY INPUT!

this is just what works for me but:

for pain, advil/ibuprofen it's an anti-inflammatory and works better on muscle pain (for me), aleve/naproxen would also work but I found it caused edema

for the bloating Tums "gas" chews (they're just dimethicone <sp>) work for me in a pinch but they do have a sweetener, what works even better and was suggested here is aloe juice, I just can't believe how well that worked for easing symptoms and how quickly it worked!! mix with a bit of non acidic juice and toss it down.

Coconut oil is solid at room temp and is a good substitute for butter....there are 2 kinds, Virgin - which tastes coconutty and the Regular type which has no specific coconut taste. these are also good for frying, the flash point is much higher than butter so less likely to burn

      Gluten challenge and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis

      By Zuma888 · Posted

      I didn't ask a doctor about this actually. I did ask several doctors a long time ago and they told me gluten has nothing to do with hashimoto's. One of them told me to do a gluten challenge to test for celiac, but at the time I was in graduate school so couldn't afford to be even more ill than I was. If you have the symptoms, I really don't advise you to do a gluten challenge. It messed me up mentally and physically for months. At the same time, I benefitted from doing the challenge in the sense that it convinced me that all my symptoms were truly from gluten - even stuff like insomnia! So now I am terrified to eat gluten, whereas before I would have a little once in a while and not notice anything dramatic.

      I am in a similar situation where I can't feasibly do a gluten challenge but have all the symptoms and I have 2 celiac genes. I'm curious if your doctor advised you to eat as if you had a diagnosis or if they were more dismissive about it.

      Negative, although I had most of the symptoms of celiac disease. I now eat as if I had a diagnosis.

      Natural remedies

      While it's always important to approach internal use of essential oils with caution and ideally under the guidance of a qualified professional, your experience highlights the potential of complementary approaches when traditional medicine falls short. Many in the community are also interested in the intersection of natural wellness and gluten-free living, particularly for managing systemic inflammation and its various symptoms, so sharing your story is valuable. Your observation that it may also be helping with bloating is fascinating, as that could point to an overall reduction in inflammation. Thank you for sharing what is working for you!
