I start drinking water, it seems to help me, then if possible I go lie down and try to go to sleep with a heating pad on my tummy.

Me too. It's only happened once at a restaurant, where I was told as soon as I swallowed the bite, that my server was wrong and there was gluten in it. I drank lots of water to almost 'dilute' the food, and in its tiny amount, I avoided the stomache bloating and discomfort.. I think even the dh if I remember correctly.

However, all the water in the world doesn't change my other symptoms of muscle aches, chills, migraine, etc.. it only seems to remedy the bloating, if I drink immediately.

Eliminating all dairy from my diet for a week or two will significantly reduce (but not eliminate) the symptoms of glutening for me. The worse the glutening, the longer it takes. I ditch dairy for a few days even if I don't know I've been contaminated but know there's a chance; like if I eat in a "new" restaurant or at someone else's house. That way I don't get violently ill even if I do have a reaction.

My reactions are all in my skin, joints, mouth(gums) and my brain... and no... there is no stopping it. :(

I just hold onto my hat and ride it out. My immune system remains in high gear even on the diet (I have other disorders, too). There is not stopping the disaster for me....except to be even more vigilant about food, and deal. Hopefully for you it's short-term and not too hard to get through :)

benedryl - hot water, cherry juice, maple syrup, Miralax tonic - allergy cream on my spots and in the creases around my nose if they itch or burn

I promise never to do that again, ever ever....

Since one of my symptoms is becoming hungry from it, what I did was I'd grab other food. I noticed that certain food tended to reduce the symptoms faster than other food. A certain brand of popcorn (Herr's) did it for some reason, as did M&Ms. Other food didn't have as much of an effect.

And I'm talking about it helping the neuro symptoms (brain frog, etc.) as well. In fact, the Herr's Popcorn helped it tremendously. That was before I even realized I had gluten intolerance, or what was happening.

Btw, I'd bought chewable L-Glutamine tablets. I hear that L-Glutamine can help you recover well, and from experience, I can tell you that fish REALLY helps a lot. Having flounder for dinner totally undid my nasty symptoms that I'd been having one day.

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
