I Had Lactose And Gluten An Hour Ago, Bad Me! Emergency Fix?

[sweeeeet]

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.
