Glutened In My Own House!

Well, Thanksgiving was at my house so I thought I had everything under control but somehow I was glutened! Now I'm looking forward to 8 or 9 days of misery -starting with knocking intestines, bloating, then several days of 0 bowel movements. plus some other unpleasant stuff (I'll spare you). After more than a year since diagnosis I've yet to figure out how to cope very well when I've been glutened. Do people take meds to ease the constipation, bloating etc.? Please share some strategies!

Drink lots of water, maybe some ginger or peppermint tea, take probiotics, get plenty of rest, eat simple and easily digested foods (stay away from processed foods). That's about it...

Maybe some milk of magnesia will get things moving again. Pepto Bismol can help with pain. I take DPP-4 also.

Bananas and rice for low irritation foods.

The only things that help me are avoiding dairy and chewing pepto bismol tablets.

I am new to the celiac disease world (recently diagnosed) but have had it for 6 years (pain and misery that I just "lived with")

In my research I have heard after you have been glutenized drink Aloe Juice. Haven't tried it yet but what the heck if it helps!

www.glutenfreefreak.com - seems like a weird site though...

Aloe vera juice does help. I buy George's brand - tastes like water. It helps to relieve constipation and calm the stomach. Ginger tea calms the stomach too. Also, might not hurt to take additional magnesium supplements to relieve constipation. Or apple cider vinegar. I take it for heartburn, but it's helped with my chronic C too...1 teaspoon in a glass of water. You can do that up to 3 times a day if you wish. Feel better!

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Russ H · Posted

      I hope you are on the mend soon. About 1 in 5 people who contracted chicken pox as a child go on to develop shingles in later life - it is not uncommon. There are 5 known members of the herpes virus family including chicken pox that commonly infect humans, and they all cause lifelong infections. The exact cause of viral reactivation as in the case of shingles or cold sores is not well understood, but stress, sunburn and radiotherapy treatment are known triggers. Some of the herpes viruses are implicated in triggering autoimmune diseases: Epstein-Barr virus is suspected of triggering multiple sclerosis and lupus, and there is a case where it is suspected of triggering coeliac disease. As to whether coeliac disease can increase the likelihood of viral reactivation, there have been several cohort studies including a large one in Sweden suggesting that coeliac disease is associated with a moderate increase in the likelihood of developing shingles in people over the age of 50.

      BFree bread is fortified with vitamins and minerals as is ASDA own-brand gluten-free bread. All the M&S bread seems to be fortified also.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Flash1970 · Posted

      You might try Heallix.  It's a silver solution with fulvic acid. I just put the solution on with a cotton ball.  It seemed to stop the nerve pain. Again,  not in your eyes or ears.   Go to heallix.com to read more about it and decide for yourself Also,  I do think nerve and celiac combined have a lot to do with your susceptibility to shingles breaking out.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      Celiac disease requires both genetic potential and a triggering stress event to activate the genes. Otherwise it remains dormant and only a potential problem. So having the genetic potential is not deterministic for celiac disease. Many more people have the genes than actually develop the disease. But if you don't have the genes, the symptoms are likely being caused by something else.
