Cramping From Cc, What Works?

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.

      Thank you for the links to the articles.  Interesting reading. I'll be telling my brother in law because he has a lot of pain

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/
