So This Is...

...what it feels like to be glutened? I feel exactly the way I did before I started the gluten free diet. Nauseated, in pain, tired, don't want to do anything. I don't want to be here at work, which is something I feel often, but this time its just because I would rather be home in bed, sleeping away the disgusting feelings. Oh and did I mention food seems gross right now?

Gah. How long does this feeling last? What's the best way to cope? What should I eat while I feel this way? HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

some people recommended some yoga poses that can help.

I think there are some postings here on this forum about glutening and yoga, or some other places on the net.

I find that plain-ish rice helps me. That and sips of water.

Yoga helps stimulate your lymphatic system which helps speed up the removal of toxins from your system. Additionally since you've probably upset your intestines a bit, a probiotic of sorts may help. Try to stick with things that are easy on the digestive system.

My son says Glutenfreeda's oatmeal with flax settles his D stomach. I also pump him full of yogurt. Not sure it helps, but at least I feel like I'm doing something to help. Get extra rest and try to clear your calendar as much as possible. Pamper yourself as much as possible...

I had to do an elimination diet before I started to feel better.

I dropped all processed foods. I kept a food journal.

I found out a few foods that are allergies, and, it turns out, quite a few foods that are gluten free but still have enough gluten to set off my symptoms, since I seem to be pretty sensitive.

Perhaps you are very sensitive as well?

Many of the other symptoms - like the exhaustion - I could see as part of the healing process. But the nausea makes me wonder if you are still getting gluten somehow, or another food that might bother you.
