Cramping And Bentyl

[jillyard 0]

New here, as well as to Celiac. I've been gluten free for 2 months now and find that when I encounter gluten now that I've been clean my reactions are much worse! I had fries out last night and they were coated with wheat flour (had to call today and have them check). I have been having stomach cramps all day, double over take your breath away cramps and nasea. Has anyone ever tried Bentyl for these types of symptoms? I took it years ago when I was dx ed as IBS....Ouch, what can I do? Need to get back in the game asap!

Thanks

You can try it, but I was given Bentyl last week during my flare up and it made the pain so much worse I almost went to the ER. It says on the package insert that it is not to be taken by people with chronic inflammation. They weren't kidding!

I was on Bentyl for about two days. Made me zombi-like, I was nauseated, threw-up dirrahea, ended up in hospital for 6 days for dehydration. this was before my diagnosis of Celiac after the Dr.s ran more tests.
