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.

      This Common Blood Pressure Drug Can Mimic Celiac Disease Symptoms

      Dang. I had a moment of hope that I could change my BP med and get off the gluten-free diet. Nope. More seriously, I hadn't seen this articles about this phenomenon before. This is one of the possible answers for people who post here about having celiac symptoms (including biopsy) but normal IgA levels, especially if they are saying that diet isn't helping...

      Zaalouk moroccan eggplant salad

      oops. I didn't see that before posting or I would have at least referenced it. The two recipes are pretty similar, but I think the newer one is a little simpler/faster. Next time though I will search more before posting.

      @Aretaeus Cappadocia thank you for your reply and the link, that is very helpful to get a visual of just how small of an amount can cause a reaction. I know I am not consuming gluten or coming into contact with gluten from any other source. I will stop touching/tossing bread outside! My diet has not changed, and I do not have reactions to the things I am currently eating, which are few in number. My auto immune reaction just seems so severe. The abdominal pain is extreme. It takes a lot out of me. I guess I will be this way for the rest of my life if I ever happen to come into contact with gluten? I appreciate the help.

I also did have implants ( I didn't know and sense not properly in my medical. Neither did surgeon)in 2006 and there was a leak 2023 during the same time I was dealing with covid, digestive issues, eyes and skin.Considering I " should  be fine" not consuming gluten/wheat, taking vitamins for sibo and STILL feeling terrible.It has to be parasites. I also take individual eye drops prescribed, could there be an issue there? Anyways my pcp thinks I need therapy because again they don't acknowledge my digestive issues because in my records it shows im fine, hintz the reason I had to go back to bay area hospital:(  I thought skin issues maybe sibo related but I feel and have seen and seriously trying not to think about it because it's disgusting.

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.
