Ok guys. We have had all kinds of "goodies" brought into the office at work. I have no willpower and have been indulging--especially the cookies. It hit me hard a couple days ago. Diarrhea, dizziness, bloating, and migraines. I still don't feel good. Better but not good. I'm very tired and i have to travel tomorrow. Is there anything I can do to help get this out of my system and feel better faster? Anything help you guys if/when you cheat. I can't believe I did this to myself.

I ate baklava that my daughter gave me, same symptoms. Dont think anything will help, maybe lots of water.

Time!

I have never cheated and never will but when I get glutened by accident, benedryl, pepto and advil helps along with some very strong mint tea.

I'm sorry you're so sick with a trip coming up. Sounds like a little willpower boosting is in order. :P

When I get into gluten by mistake I use Immodium for D and Pepto Bismol for the nausea and bloating. Excedrin might help your migraine a little. Unfortunately, there is no way to halt the autoimmunity so you will just have to wait for it to subside.

Nothing like a strong gluten reaction to help curb the urge to cheat. Sorry your feeling so funky and I hope it passes soon. When I get glutened I use the Pepto Bismal and if I absolutely have to Immodium. Asprin helps a bit with the inflammation. You might want to keep a good stash of gluten free goodies at the office to help keep temptation at bay.

Thanks everyone. Time has helped. I have no willpower at all. I like the "bringing gluten free goodies to the office idea". Next time I think I will try that and see if that works. I'm feeling much better. Still have a small headache. Hugs to all.

Telling yourself you have no willpower is just a self-fullfilling prophecy. You can have that willpower, but it's like a muscle - you have to exercise it in order to have it. Keep practicing/exercising it and you'll get there.

      Stomach hurts with movement

      By amantelchi · Posted

      I'd like to clarify: Is the pain you describe in the area just below your chest constant, or does it only appear when you start moving?

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      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/
