Accidental Glutening

[GlutenGuy36]

I ate a piece of Riesen Dark chocolate candy tonight and just as I swallowed it I thought I better look at the bag for the contents. There weren't any on the candy itself. One of the first ingedients listed was glucose from wheat or corn so now I feaking out waiting to start feeling like a bigger piece of crap than I do already.

I think I have been fairly good lately with being very strict about getting any in my diet. My BM's actually returned to a solid state after months of not being so. I just get so frustrated with this like these little slip ups are going to cost me in the long run. I know it's my fault for not looking first. I normally do. So now I wait.......for the gurgling, D, aches and pains all over and brain fog to start. I have been eating mostly chicken and celery, onion and carrotts in a soup. Then I have been taking vitamins.

I ate something from a fast food place today. It was chili from Wendys and a plain baked potato. Probably not smart to do that either. .....Sorry Just had so vent before "it" starts.

Does anyone know of anything to make it easy to cope with after being glutened? Like things I could drink or eat to make my intestines not hurt and the symptoms less?

There has been a debate on another web-site I read about the sweetener you described. No one there had tried it but reading about it, it claims to have removed all the gluten in the processing. Since you've eaten one, please let us know if you react as this sweetener is being used more and more in candy.

To help get through a glutening, I usually take extra B12 and drink soothing tea then let myself eat any gluten-free food I crave. Often one of my symptoms is hunger.

Actually one of the fast food meals I do allow myself to eat is the Wendy's chili and potato. I've never had a problem with it.
