Looking For Emergency Cure

Diagnosed coeliac 25 years ago and haven't touched gluten since then. Was given porridge oats by accident and I ate it - that was 21 days ago. I have diarrhoea every day and sometimes I am up at night with it. The pain is all over by stomach. Doctors don't know what to do with me. Every time I eat something I get diarrohea and pain. I can only take a vitamin drink and water. I recall reading somewhere that there was a tablet or something you could take to counteract the symptoms of the allergy in the event of an emergency. Has anyone heard of this ? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks. Katie.

The only thing really to do is let the reaction run it's course. My reactions last 2 weeks, some people have them longer and some shorter.

I hate to bring bad news but there is nothing to make the reaction stop. There are medications that may ease symptoms.

If you can get something on your stomach stick with foods that settle good...like rice, baked potatoes, jello

Teas are very soothing as well so you may want to try a peppermint or ginger tea if your stomach can handle it.

As celiac is not an allergy, but an IgG immune response, there is nothing you can do but wait it out.

Relieve the pain with a medicine ball. Lie down on the floor when you do this and put the medicine ball on your left side after a meal or right side hours later. Place it above the hip and beneath the rib cage and then turn and squeeze the ball like a grape with your gut and rock it a little. You should feel it breaking up a touch..

Also, lying right on your back with pressure placed just below the tail bone with the point of a small pillow can help at times..Get in the habit of stretching properly.

Professional baseball players have a good routine and they use medicine balls a lot..

You might also consider rolling a tennis ball in all directions on your gut, above and below the belly button..

Hope this helps..

I use a heating pad...but that only works with pain. Intestinally, there's nothing you can do.

      My only proof

      By AlwaysLearning · Posted

      We feel your pain. It took me 20+ years of regularly going to doctors desperate for answers only to be told there was nothing wrong with me … when I was 20 pounds underweight, suffering from severe nutritional deficiencies, and in a great deal of pain. I had to figure it out for myself. If you're in the U.S., not having an official diagnosis does mean you can't claim a tax deduction for the extra expense of gluten-free foods. But it can also be a good thing. Pre-existing conditions might be a reason why a health insurance company might reject your application or charge you more money. No official diagnosis means you don't have a pre-existing condition. I really hope you don't live in the U.S. and don't have these challenges. Do you need an official diagnosis for a specific reason? Else, I wouldn't worry about it. As long as you're diligent in remaining gluten free, your body should be healing as much as possible so there isn't much else you could do anyway. And there are plenty of us out here who never got that official diagnosis because we couldn't eat enough gluten to get tested. Now that the IL-2 test is available, I suppose I could take it, but I don't feel the need. Someone else not believing me really isn't my problem as long as I can stay in control of my own food.

      Gluten related ??

      By AlwaysLearning · Posted

      If you're just starting out in being gluten free, I would expect it to take months before you learned enough about hidden sources of gluten before you stopped making major mistakes. Ice cream? Not safe unless they say it is gluten free. Spaghetti sauce? Not safe unless is says gluten-free. Natural ingredients? Who knows what's in there. You pretty much need to cook with whole ingredients yourself to avoid it completely. Most gluten-free products should be safe, but while you're in the hypersensitive phase right after going gluten free, you may notice that when something like a microwave meal seems to not be gluten-free … then you find out that it is produced in a shared facility where it can become contaminated. My reactions were much-more severe after going gluten free. The analogy that I use is that you had a whole army of soldiers waiting for some gluten to attack, and now that you took away their target, when the stragglers from the gluten army accidentally wander onto the battlefield, you still have your entire army going out and attacking them. Expect it to take two years before all of the training facilities that were producing your soldiers have fallen into disrepair and are no longer producing soldiers. But that is two years after you stop accidentally glutening yourself. Every time you do eat gluten, another training facility can be built and more soldiers will be waiting to attack. Good luck figuring things out.

      KAN-101 Treatment for Coeliac Disease

      By Russ H · Posted

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/
