What To Eat After Getting Sick?

I have been trying to manage my gluten-free diet the best I can but occasionally I get glutened (mainly from trusting others food or from eating out at restaurants). When I get sick I get very nauseous and it is hard for me to eat. Normally I just crave and eat fruit. I like the fruit drinks "naked" and I will eat just rice and beans. Does anyone know the best foods to eat when you are healing again? Is there any vitamins or medication that can help repair the gut? In short, what is the best way to get better fast?

Funny you right this! I just got glutened this weekend and feel AWFUL.

What I generally make for myself and am going to eat in small portions is plain rice, ground beef and some cheddar cheese - very bland but gives me some iron and protein to stay stable...seems to settle my stomach as well...When I was first diagnosed my doctor suggested (even for D) was to take a tablespoon of the regular Orange metamucil and drink it once a day. I'm trying that myself now.

I do Old College Inn chicken broth, plain. Then some toast. Then I add a few gluten-free noodles if I feel up to it. Then I move on up to tea and fruit juice. and then I add a plain baked chicken breast and brown rice (I also adhere to the BRAT diet when I am recovering).

I hope you feel better soon!!

I find cream of buckwheat cereal to be very soothing. I also do gluten-free chicken broth with some Thai Kitchen rice noodles and toast with cinnamon sugar.

I like dry, starchy things and maybe some Pacific Chicken Broth.

I actually find it helps me to fast for at least half a day to one whole day. Not a true fast, just a food fast--I drink plenty of water, herbal tea and some carbonated beverages. Then I add something bland and comforting--Baked potatoes or chicken broth with rice noodles seem to be what I do most often because both take very little effort to prepare when I feel awful.

Rice noodles, applesauce, cooked carrots, a little turkey after I feel better. But I've only done that once and feel better fairly quickly.

Two words: Bentonite Clay

I mix a tablespoonful in an 8 ounce glass of water and swallow it down. It helps heal the small intestine and colon, and there's nothing better for neutralizing and moving things through the body faster. It has protective qualities and loads of minerals.

Google; "clay therapy" for more information.

White rice and bouillon for me. I switch to tea instead of coffee too. If I get sick for a few days, I'll stew a chicken as I feel better and make chicken and rice soup.

what kind of bread do you use for your toast? do you bake it yourself or is there a loaf out there that tastes really good?

I do the white rice thing too...it absorbs all the stuff in your stomach and generally makes me feel better.

Chicken and rice soup, maybe a bowl a bland cereal with Almond milk, or a bland but cold salad.

My doctor has suggested peppermint tea. 2 cups per day (3 Altoids equal 1 cup of tea :P ). I found for me it really helps.

For toast i use Kinnikinik or Udi's. And the peppermint tea thing? Awesome! It always helps me feel better. I have been living off of toast lately, and probably will until I am better.

Bigelow herbal tea seems to sooth my wretching stomach pain (right now it's constant comment but will try the mint).

And definitely bland stuff.

I like mashed potatoes with peas and butter. (even if instant potatoes to make at work)

OH! And aleeve for the pin pricks I feel in the muscles and joints.

      confirmed via biopsy, quite depressed

      i am australian. we do have plenty of substitutes, but most are very expensive compared to the originals. i believe i'll just stick to home cooked meals and not have many treats at all. it's sad but it's just so much easier. also, ive heard far too many horror stories of people ordering gluten free food from restaurants and cafés, explicitly telling servers and kitchen staff that cross contamination is a strict no go, and they still get very sick. until i find a reasonably priced fully gluten free kitchen somewhere, i am not eating out for my safety and sanity.

      Gluten Sensitivity

      By The Logician · Posted

      To Trent’s, yes, from what i’ve read it is not uncommon for digestive systems to become less tolerant to gluten over time. Many types of sensitivity or allergies arise in older people who never had a problem. I don’t see why you are focusing on anything but the fact that after years of my sensitivity to gluten, for whatever reason , it has disappeared after a bout of antibiotics. What i’ve read is antibiotics can make gluten sensitivity worse. In any event, in my case, if I can still eat all the wheat products I want with no reaction after a month or more since my hospital stay this is something that should be investigated. Time will tell.

      Gluten Sensitivity

      By The Logician · Posted

      I had a UTI, blood cultures are standard to insure that the infection does not get in the bloodstream which can lead to sepsis and death. In my case there was bacteria in my blood which necessitated 48 hours of antibiotic IV

      Finally got in to doctor to get my referral and I lucked out and got into Gastro the same day - question about different transglutaminase results

      Hi Cameo674. just read your post. Well wishes to a correct diagnosis so that you can get on track to healing and feeling better. Personally I know it’s good to have the eosinophilic disorder ruled out too, as this can show anti-ttg igA antibodies too. But usually without the anti-gliadin antibodies unless gliadin is an allergen for you. Thanks for posting the link to look up SNPs rs… numbers on another post. Was useful. Looking at your result, ”Celiac Associated HLD-DQ Typing: DQA1* Value: 05; DQA1*DQA11 Value: 05; DQB1* Value: 02; DQB1-DQB11 Value: 02; Celiac Gene Pairs Present Value: Yes; Celiac HLA Interpretation Value: These genes are permissive for celiac disease.  However, these genes can also be present in the normal population. Testing performed by SSOP.  So google failed me.  I think these results basically say I have genes, but everybody has these genes so this test was just to confirm that there is a vague possibility?  Maybe this test result explains why I do not have the horrible symptoms most individuals with celiac have?  I told the GI my assumption is that I am just gluten intolerant since I do not have the pain? So maybe this test explains why I have antibodies?” To me it reads.that you carry the high risk HLADQ2.5 haplotype.
