I know I know, I should go through the spanking machine, but we had company over and there was a nice desert which I ate a bit to be polite. But I fear I'm going to be sick with cramps, diarrhea, etc. Are there any emergency fixes you can recommend to lessen my symptoms when they come? I did take an enzyme before I ate, but nothing else. I am getting acid reflux a bit and and so I took a Zantac pill. I know I will be a mess come tomorrow with bad symptoms. Any suggestions? Thanks so much

I should break this down (no pun intended) I don't mean Imodium or zantac, (stuff normally taken by me) I mean, how can I STOP the symptoms from being so strong BEFORE they come?

Sorry to tell you this, but no enzyme or pill can prevent symptoms if you are celiac/gluten intolerant and you purposely ingest gluten. SOme people take Pepto Bismol after the fact and they say it helps a little. I'm not sure if you can take it with Zantac though. Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated and flush out the toxins and eat bland food like rice and chicken broth. I hope your consequences are not too bad. Sometimes we have to learn the hard way that it's not being rude to refuse food that can make you sick. The people pushing food on you if you politely decline are the rude ones.

Welp, the consequences were pretty bad. And I was in Stop & Shop of all places when it finally came to a boil! Not fun. I ate very bland food for most of the day and drank about 50 ounces of water and peed about 20 times. I guess there's just no avoiding the yuckies unless I stay clear away from desserts like ice cream and cake

Sorry to hear that. Now you have even more motivation to stay away from food that makes you sick. Just remember this incident every time you are tempted to eat something with gluten. You can make some good gluten free cake though. Betty crocker has a gluten free mix and Pamela's white cake mix is really good too. And for ice cream, look for some coconut milk ice cream. There's a brand that is gluten free, soy free and dairy free and it's really yummy.

      Challenges eating gluten before biopsy

      For those who will likely remain gluten-free for life anyway due to well-known symptoms they have when eating gluten, my general advice is to ignore any doctors who push to go through a gluten challenge to get a formal diagnosis--and this is especially true for those who have severe symptoms when they eat gluten. It can take months, or even years to recover...

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      It has been the most terrible illness ever! Going on 3 weeks now… I had chicken pox as a kid… crazy how much havoc this dormant virus has caused after being reactivated! No idea what even caused it to fire back up. I’m scared this pain and sensitivity is just never going to improve or go away

      Challenges eating gluten before biopsy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      For those who will likely remain gluten-free for life anyway due to well-known symptoms they have when eating gluten, my general advice is to ignore any doctors who push to go through a gluten challenge to get a formal diagnosis--and this is especially true for those who have severe symptoms when they eat gluten. It can take months, or even years to recover from such a challenge, so why do this if you already know that gluten is the culprit and you won't be eating it anyway?  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS--but those in this group will usually have negative tests, or at best, elevated antibodies that don't reach the level of official positive. Unfortunately test results for celiac disease are not always definitive, and many errors can be made when doing an endoscopy for celiac disease, and they can happen in many ways, for example not collecting the samples in the right areas, not collecting enough samples, or not interpreting the results properly and giving a Marsh score.  Many biopsy results can also be borderline, where there may be certain damage that could be associated with celiac disease, but it just doesn't quite reach the level necessary to make a formal diagnosis. The same is true for blood test results. Over the last 10 years or so a new "Weak Positive" range has been created by many labs for antibody results, which can simply lead to confusion (some doctors apparently believe that this means the patient can decide if they want more testing or to go gluten-free). There is no "Weak Negative" category, for example. Many patients are not told to eat gluten daily, lots of it, for the 6-8 week period leading up to their blood test, nor asked whether or not they've been eating gluten. Some patients even report to their doctors that they've been gluten-free for weeks or months before their blood tests, yet their doctors incorrectly say nothing to them about how this can affect their test, and create false negative results. Many people are not routinely given a total IGA blood test when doing a blood screening, which can lead to false negative interpretations if the patient has low IGA. We've seen on this forum many times that some doctors who are not fully up on how interpret the blood test results can tell patients that the don't need to follow a gluten-free diet or get more testing because only 1 of the 2 or 3 tests done in their panel is positive (wrong!), and the other 1 or 2 tests are negative.  Dermatologists often don't know how to do a proper skin biopsy for dermatitis herpetiformis, and when they do it wrongly their patient will continue to suffer with terrible DH itching, and all the risks associated with celiac disease. For many, the DH rash is the only presentation of celiac disease. These patients may end up on strong prescriptions for life to control their itching which also may have many negative side effects, for example Dapsone. Unfortunately many people will continue to suffer needlessly and eat gluten due to these errors in performing or interpreting celiac disease tests, but luckily some will find out about non-celiac gluten sensitivity on their own and go gluten-free and recover from their symptoms. Consider yourself lucky if you've figured out that gluten is the source of your health issues, and you've gone gluten-free, because many people will never figure this out.
