Tricks For Healing Faster?

Maybe this is just wishful thinking, but I'm wondering if anyone has any tips for getting over being glutened faster? Or something to do to help the symptoms?

I ate a bunch of candy last night, only find out this morning that it had hidden wheat in it. Stupid moment for me, I know. But now I have some of the worst mental fog of my life, I'm really bloated and a bit constipated, and I had a huge cystic pimple on my chin this morning. I feel miserable. And I have lots to do in the next few days, so this is really not a good time for me to be feeling sick.

Any ideas or suggestions?

What works for me is:

Drinking LOTS of water

Eating red meat (Don't know why it works it just does)

NOT taking imodium unless I have too...I just want to get the nasty stuff out of my system....

Eating easy to digest foods (avoiding dairy and raw veggies)

And trying to get some rest...

But everyone is different :)

I get neuro symptoms and these are the tricks that help me get through the pain.

Tylenol PM caplets. They make me sleepy and probably don't help me function, but they help me get sleep and pain control while I heal. They also help with the vertigo I get from gluten. I usually only take 1/day for 48 hours or so.

Hydration even though I usually don't want to eat anything.

Sleep

Vitamins

I get a bit constipated and I find that I don't start to feel better from the neuro symptoms until I get that glutened meal out. I eat a lot of flax seeds to help move the system.

I'm sure you will get a lot suggestions. I hope you feel better soon.

Thanks guys. I decided to stay in last night, and although it sucked, it seemed to be a good choice. Lots of rest and water, and I feel better already. :)

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!
