What To Do If You Slip Up

[chris s]

I just had lunch and accidentally ate something I wasn't supposed to and now feel awful. Is there anything out there that you can do to feel better more quickly, or any tricks that seem to work?

Thanks as always for your support!

Generally, its only symptom control. What type of symptoms are you having? Maybe someone can suggest something for you.

I hope you feel better.

Thanks so much for the response. Horrible bloating and stomach pain. Headaches come and go, but I can deal with those. The stomach is the worst part. Any suggestions?

Keep hydrated - drink lots of fluids. Don't eat anything heavy that will further irritate your stomach. Tylenol/motrin for the headache, and maybe a heating pad for your stomach? Hang in there.

You could try gas-x and my favorite is ginger ale for an upset tummy; vernors is my preferred brand. Here is post on gluten-free beverages: https://www.celiac.com/gluten-free/index.ph...d=27&cat=55

Feel better!

I go for hot tea. It does help a little. Then I usually feel like I'm starving even while I'm bloated and running to the bathroom. I know it's just a symptom but it is compelling so I just let myself eat as much as I want of safe, light food. I like broth with rice noodles, jello and plain Rice Chex.
