I Think I Have Been Glutened!

Hi- I'm new here. I've been gluten free since May 2009. Prior to finding out about having celiac, I had my gall bladder removed b/c they didn't know what else to do. Surprise surprise it didn't help and 7 months later I had to suggest having the celiac test done!

Anyways, I have been doing REALLY well since then!! But tonight I think I have been glutened! I was wondering if anyone has any "home remedies" they use to help relieve some symptoms??

My symptoms tend to be:

Gas

Tightness/Pain/Crampy in my stomach on the left side directly below my diaphragm

Typically i get anxiety attacks when I feel this way as well

Sometimes, but not as often as before going gluten free, diarrhea

Also it feels as if my stomach/intestines have their own pulse!

Any suggestions would be really helpful!!

Thanks!!!

I havent been badly glutened yet but when i was not gluten free and my stomach always felt like yours(Cramp, bloat, and tightness) I would lay down on the bed or my couch and put a heating pad on my stomach. If you dont have a heating pad a heated up towel either from the microwave or heated with hot water will work as well. It helps a bit(until you get up)

Just try to take it easy and give your body a rest:)

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
