So Inflamed That Water Hurts?


bridgetm

Recommended Posts

Is it common to be so inflamed that swallowing water hurts? After I swallow anything, I can basically follow its progress from the pain in my intestines. Last night I drank enough water to swallow some pills and then tried to eat a rice cake because I felt hungry. I was in so much pain that I had to stop about 1/2 way through the cake. I broke into a cold sweat. I'm thirsty but even a single swallow of water causes pain. Help!

Water is hard. Try some flat 7-up or ginger ale. Something with a little sugar in it.

An 8 oz can of room temp coke always helps me. Sounds crazy but it works.

Also jello-o water. (boil water and put jello-o powder in 2qt container fill half full with boiling water and stir really good. Then add some

Cool water to fill it up and drink. (also gets rid of migraines no joke))

I have heard that about Jello, but have never tried it. I had a couple boxes of Jello sitting on the kitchen counter at home and forgot to grab them when I came back to school. I have a bottle of Sierra Mist sitting open on my desk. I'm hoping it will go flat soon.

I've been glutened a few times since I started the diet in the spring, but I have never had it this bad. I must be getting really sensitive.

I feel hungry and I was able to eat some applesauce this morning with minimal pain. Would cooked rice be easier on the inflamed lining of my stomach and intestines than the rice cake?

What is it about sugar that helps liquid go down?

If the liquid you consume has the osmotic density of your cells, it's easier for your cells to uptake. Adding sugar (or salt) makes water more like the cellular fluid. (Yes, I know, true fluid absorption doesn't take place until the colon, but dehydrated cells will take in some fluid.)

Could you be dehydrated? Have you tried drinking Gatorade? Drinking just soda will make you more dehydrated, although I do like some ginger ale when my stomach hurts. You could also try some soothing herbal tea or fruit juices.

If you have gotten into the gluten again (bad kid!) you might also benefit from some Pepto Bismol. Pepto can coat and sooth the innards and reduce irritation some.

Are you saying this is the case all the time? It happened to me that everything I ingested including water caused GI pain and distress. I treated it through a specific carbohydrate diet, which is used for bacterial overgrowth. I had a lab test for this, but don't have the results back yet so I can't say for sure if this was the issue. In any case, the diet worked for me. The other strong possibility that came up as a potential cause for this in my research was colitis. I think you should talk to your doctor, especially since both bacterial overgrowth and colitis can be tested for.

I'm apprehensive about the suggestion to drink sugar water. That's just not healthy for our bodies. Maybe once in a while, like having a lemonade on a special occasion, but not every time you drink water. There are too many health problems that could result.

      All I can say is this site is great!

      From their website I see "organic barley leaf powder" as an ingredient. Keep in mind that the gluten is in the kernel, and not in the leaves. https://drinkag1.com/about-ag1/ingredients/ctr

      Before the rise of social media we were well known by a lot of doctors and were recommended by many, especially our Safe & Forbidden Lists, but as doctors get younger and younger this is probably not happening as much as before.

      Thanks Scott I will definitely check my vitamins and minerals to see what I am missing so then I can supplement. I was very concern about my Meniers syntoms and i tryed to find some alive. Now im just realizing that my celiac is provably the root cause of my Meniers none of the 12 doctors I saw told me anything about this.  This web site is so helpful, thanks to people like you we can get answers.

      Vitamin D deficiency can contribute to rib pain. Chest pain stemming from the ribs ccould be costochondritis, which involves inflammation of the cartilage connecting the ribs to the breastbone. This pain can range from mild to severe, potentially mimicking heart attack symptoms, and is often worsened by breathing or movement. Other potential causes include muscle strain, rib fractures, or even referred pain from other conditions.  It will also help to chose vegetables low in omega 6.
