My son was diagnosed type 1 four months ago and celiac last month. He has been gluten free since but i think he might be getting contaminated eating his lunch at school. He now eats in the nurses office and is doing better. Does anyone have any tips for the belly ache after contamination??????

I'm not sure how old your son is but if he's old enough I usually take a Zantac because I have had gastritis before (which is too much acid in your stomach)...maybe that would help him, or for a more natural approach, I've heard peppermint oil capsuls help too. They soothe the intestines which may prevent his symptoms.

Hopefully since he is eating lunch in a safer place, the contamination will slowly stop.

I have always relied on chamomile tea to sooth my system. It really makes a difference somtimes. All Republic of Tea teas are gluten-free and the Calm(a version of chamomile) that is sold by Tazo,available at Starbucks amoung other places, is gluten-free.

      I put on over 12kg by eating protein with every meal, 3 to 5 times a day. Eggs, Chicken, Tuna, Turkey etc. I stay away from too much red meat as it can be inflammatory. Scott is correct. I've come across a bunch of Coeliac PT's on Tiktok and Instagram. They all say the same thing, the key is getting enough protein and consistency.

      It's great to hear that eliminating gluten has helped alleviate symptoms like eye burning, which is a significant and positive change. The first and most important step is to ensure you're consuming enough protein throughout the day to support muscle repair and growth, which can be challenging with a busy schedule. Since you're already physically active at work, adding focused strength training just 2-3 times per week can make a major difference. Bodyweight exercises like squats, push-ups (modified if needed), and lunges, or using resistance bands at home, are excellent, efficient places to start. Remember, consistency with these short sessions and prioritizing post-workout recovery, including good sleep and hydration, are just as crucial as the workouts themselves. It's a smart, gradual process at any age.

      Trader Joe's carries a good variety of affordable gluten-free foods like bagels, hamburger buns, pasta, etc. I like Franz Gluten Free bread, which is available at my local Costco. Food For Life and Little Northern Bakehouse (advertisers here) also make excellent gluten-free breads. Costco also sells gluten-free pizzas, crackers, gravy, etc.
