Cramping From Cc, What Works?

Recommended Posts

Still detoxing pretty hard at this point and the cramping is just so bad. I've had it worse before, where I felt like I couldn't get out of a fetal position and wanted to throw up. But right now it's about halfway there. Just wondering, what works to relieve the pain for you guys?

Tylenol has mild relieving effects on it, but it is still often debilitating even with full Tylenol dose. Heat seems to help sometimes, sometimes not.

What do you all use?

Also, is it better to use Imodium/Pepto or should I just let it get out? I honestly always purposely back myself up (when glutened) because I can't stand D and I can't stand living in the bathroom, but I realize that's probably not good? Not sure.

I use a heating pad on my stomach to help with cramping and throbbing pain. Not sure if meds would help

a heating pad is great- but only do 20 min on, 20 min off... after 20 minutes the body will create more inflammation.

i would take the Pepto to help sooth your digestive tract... but if you're not feeling too bad, i would maybe skip the immodium.... and just let your body purge. unless you're terribly uncomfortable or got bad hemmohroids.

and i would take probiotics!! and maybe eat a little rice. make sure you're drinking plenty of fluids and taking some calcium/magnesium.

also, L.Glutamine powder with water helps heal the small intestine

Useful info, thanks! Will look into L. Glutamine - haven't heard of it.

      I’m in a flare up with rib pain. I read where others have experienced this after exposure to gluten.  Has anyone found something that eases the pain.

      Scott Adams/Trents - Thanks!  I will definitely do some more research.  I welcome any and all advice.  
    • CeliacPI
      Yes, I've read that online but I was just surprised that no one has mentioned it on this forum specifically.  We have not had our follow up meeting with the Dr where I'm sure she will advise as to how he needs to deal with this ailment.  I have learned from past health issues - if you want to find the REAL truth - talk to someone living with the disease.  THEY will know way more than any doctor ever could.    Thanks for responding.
