Glutened


CountryStar

I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on how to feel better fast after being glutened.

It was unintentional of course but i am feeling so wiped out and fatigued.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I mostly have to let it run it's course. But I do take extra B!2, it helps a little. I drink tea, rest as much as I'm able and eat safe foods as much as my body demands. I'm usually super hungry during a glutening.

I have written a lot about it here on celiac.com--using marshmallow root, enterically coated acidophilus, apple cider vinegar, pancreatin digestive enzymes right away and maybe some baking soda (leave an hour between the vinegar and baking soda so you don't fizz!!). If you can eat yogurt, pineapple and papaya, do so!

Then after the D has gone, use detox herbs like dandelion root, and yellow dock or oregon grape root with maybe some licorice root and either cleavers or echinacea leaf. Be sure not to use any tinctures or anything with possible gluten in it as a binder. Avoid anything that gives you D--or greatly reduce the amount taken.

I often make a "mash" of the above roots--two heaping tablespons of each in a two quart pot. Slow boil for 20 to 30 minutes. Add the leafy stuff after. Then steep for another twenty minutes. I put say 1/3 cup of the strained mixture in my mug and add hot water. It is concentrated this mash. Keep in the fridge once its cooled. Its good to take for a couple to three days. Then go off it for a couple; repeat as needed. Can add water to the mash. Discontinue when it seems too thin.

Helps too to eat lots of cooked vegetables, avoid raw veggies and hot spices, sauna when able, lots of exercise also when able.

And lots of marshmallow root to soothe the innards--whther or not the detox herbs work for you this should be safe. Caps are easy, so is the powder in a glass of cool water... Slippery Elm is wonderful too...Can make a gruel of it--one tablespoon to a cup of cold water, mix together and slow boil for ten minutes or so, mixing it now and then with a wire whip.

Plus a dash of humor helps after you get over hating the world...or whatever unfortunate schmuck that got you cross glutened!!

I always take a threelac on an empty stomach right after I get glutened. It is somewhat rough on the system since it contains insoluble fiber, but it seems to do wonders for speeding up the recovery time.

Yolo- You mentioned cleaver in your post. Is this the same thing as sticky willy? It has taken over my property and killed most of my berry bushes. In trying to find a safe way to get rid of it, I found it has medicinal value, but no good info on for what or how to use it. If you have info on the good properties of this pest, please let me know. There's still plenty around. Thanks

Here's a site about cleavers. Check the picture and info to see if its the same herb:

Its one of the best lymphatic drains there is. Very powerful, so start slow til you get used to it. If it doesn't agree at first I suggest you use echinacea leaf.

Apparently according to another site an alternative name for cleavers is "sticky willy"!!

      I'd go with a vodka tonic, but that's just me😉

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
