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


Klauren

Recommended Posts

Klauren Apprentice

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

      Hey @Butch68, I also have dermatitis herpetiformis but don't suffer from it anymore. I used to drink Guinness too but I drink Cider now when out on social occasions. I assume you are in Ireland or the UK. If it's any good to you ... 9 White Deer based in Cork brew a range of gluten-free products including a gluten-free Stout. I'm not sure if they are certified though. https://www.9whitedeer.ie/ I haven't come across any certified gluten-free stouts this side of the pond.

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease. While it's fascinating to hear anecdotes from other coeliacs who can drink it without immediate issues, this is a risky exception rather than the rule. The core issue is that Guinness is brewed from barley, which contains gluten, and the standard brewing process does not remove the gluten protein to a level safe for coeliacs (below 20ppm). For someone like you who experiences dermatitis herpetiformis, the reaction is particularly significant. DH is triggered by gluten ingestion, even without immediate gastrointestinal symptoms. So, while you may not feel an instant stomach upset, drinking a gluten-containing beer like Guinness could very well provoke a flare-up of your skin condition days later. It would be a gamble with a potentially uncomfortable and long-lasting consequence. Fortunately, there are excellent, certified gluten-free stouts available now that can provide a safe and satisfying alternative without the risk.

      Interestingly, this thought occurred to me last night. I did find that there are studies investigating whether vitamin D deficiency can actually trigger celiac disease.  Source: National Institutes of Health https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7231074/

      Before being diagnosed coeliac I used to love Guinness. Being made from barley it should be something a coeliac shouldn’t drink. But taking to another coeliac and they can drink it with no ill effects and have heard of others who can drink it too.  is this everyone’s experience?  Can I drink it?  I get dermatitis herpetiformis and don’t get instant reactions to gluten so can’t try it to see for myself.

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.
