Worst Pain Ever -- Help!

[DeerGirl]

This is the worst pain I've ever been in from a glutening. My entire abdomen is in incredible pain, bloating. I took some probiotics, been drinking fluids. When I felt hungry I ate some gluten-free mac & cheese.

Breathing, moving all hurt. I'm at a loss. Anyone have any suggestions -- NSAIDS? Stronger pain killers?

Anyone? I'm truly at a loss as to what to do that will bring about some fairly immediate relief from the pain and cramping.

Hot soaking bath with a fold bath towel over the tummy area to hold in the heat. It seems to help the intestines relax.

Aloe Vera juice, tastes so so, mix with some regular juice to get it down, that will likely help with the inflammation.

Gas-X is good too for the bloating

Thanks for the tips. I eventually took 2 Aleve and used a heating pad, which helped some, but spent the rest of the night in pain. :-(

How much aloe vera do you drink and how often?

about 2 oz and when I've been glutened....my mother used to keep this stuff around for years, she had MS and found it helpful

I just bought George's Aloe Juice. It has been mentioned on the forum before and people have said it tastes like water. Also it looks like water.

When my stomach hurts I take extra probiotics, eat organic yogurt and bananas. For some reason yogurt and bananas seem to work for me.

I'm so sorry you had to go through such pain and hope that you are better soon. Also, the mac and cheese may be a bit difficult to digest when you are already in distress.
