Worst Pain Ever -- Help!


DeerGirl

Recommended Posts

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.

      Has anyone had Steatorrhea (oily/fatty poop) as a temporary glutening symptom or should I be concerned I've introduced chronic gluten somewhere (like in meds)? I haven't gotten Steatorrhea since before I went gluten free. However, I moved in the past few weeks and haven't been as careful - I've eaten at restauraunts with cross contamination but only experienced minor symptoms like headache. The past week, I ate only gluten free food at home except I went to Red Robin and got fries (told them gluten-free; allergy). The next day I had Steatorrhea and the day after that.   I know it's a symptom of malabsorption so I was wondering if it was the kind of thing that could be caused by one event or if it was due to a more chronic issue. Of course I will speak to a GI but I recently moved and need to find one.   Thank you for any info

      A relative has opened another door for me on this issue -- the possibility of menopause raising HDL. Most studies suggest that menopause decreases HDL-C, however, one study found that often it's increased. "Surprisingly, HDL cholesterol was higher (p < 0.001) in postmenopausal women by 11%. Further, the number of women who had low HDL cholesterol was higher in pre vs. postmenopausal women. The range of ages were 26–49 years for pre-menopausal and 51–74 years for postmenopausal women. "This interesting finding has also been observed by other investigators. It is possible that the observed increase in HDL-C in postmenopausal women could be due to a protective mechanism to counterbalance the deleterious effects of biomarkers associated with menopause. However, further studies are needed to confirm this theory. And to the point raised earlier about functionality: "...some patients with elevated HDL-C concentrations could remain at risk for coronary events if HDL is not functional and some authors have suggested that this could be the case for menopausal women." Postmenopausal Women Have Higher HDL and Decreased Incidence of Low HDL than Premenopausal Women with Metabolic Syndrome. By no means to I think this is definitive, rather food for thought.

      Yes, lots of delicious things have barley malt. It also doesn't include rye. And there are a number of grains commonly cross contaminated such as oats.   Additionally, wheat allergies are different from gluten allergies as wheat allergies are a reaction to a wheat protein. So something *could* contain wheat gluten without causing a wheat allergic response (though realistically,  I don't know how likely that is to occur)

      Although it is true that FDA regulations don't require gluten to be included in allergy info, it does require wheat and ingredients made from wheat to be listed. Of course, that doesn't preclude gluten from barley being found in a product.

      I had a lot of weird/random symptoms for a few months after going gluten free. But eventually they evened out and I felt SO MUCH BETTER. The person above wrote a very detailed message that looks helpful. I'd add don't forget to check for gluten in places like medicine. Advil liquigels, for example, have gluten. It's very frustrating trying to figure out if things are gluten free as us law doesn't require it to be declared. The only labeling rule is that if the product says gluten free, it must have less than 20ppm gluten.
