Still Glutened....

[pixiegirl]

I posted earlier that I was visiting my brother in the panhandle of Florida and got really glutened even though I tried really hard not too. I talked to restaurant owners, servers and chefs/cooks. But it still happened and I got really sick.

Its a week later, and I still have the runs so badly I can't leave the house.... I know since I've been home I've not eaten any gluten at all, but I have been eating more "complicated" foods... gluten-free soups, mixes, breads, milk, soy... for the next few days I'm going back to the very basics... grilled meats, eggs, and/or rice or potato, that usually helps but does anyone have any other suggestions at all?

I've not been glutened in months and months and this time my reaction was so bad... (I know that can happen after a long time of being gluten-free) but I can't seem to lose the runs...... I can't really even go to the grocery store! Its awful, any suggestions at all would be helpful....

I know there are members with lots of experience with handling the set-backs and I remember reading about foods they go back to that seem gentle. I keep hearing the set-backs as lasting 3 weeks.

I decided, the last time that happened to me, to do a low residue diet for a week or so. (You'll want to google it, I don't remember the details.) I worked off of the premise, the less stuff that actually makes it to my intestines or any way down them, the less that's gotta come out, so pick stuff that gets digested very easily and doesn't have residue that needs to be eliminated.
