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.

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease. While it's fascinating to hear anecdotes from other coeliacs who can drink it without immediate issues, this is a risky exception rather than the rule. The core issue is that Guinness is brewed from barley...

      Gluten Issues and Vitamin D

      Interestingly, this thought occurred to me last night. I did find that there are studies investigating whether vitamin D deficiency can actually trigger celiac disease. Source: National Institutes of Health https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7231074/

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      Before being diagnosed coeliac I used to love Guinness. Being made from barley it should be something a coeliac shouldn’t drink. But taking to another coeliac and they can drink it with no ill effects and have heard of others who can drink it too. is this everyone’s experience? Can I drink it? I get dermatitis herpetiformis and don’t get instant react...

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.

      Guinness, can you drink it?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a very common question, and the most important thing to know is that no, Guinness is not considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease. While it's fascinating to hear anecdotes from other coeliacs who can drink it without immediate issues, this is a risky exception rather than the rule. The core issue is that Guinness is brewed from barley, which contains gluten, and the standard brewing process does not remove the gluten protein to a level safe for coeliacs (below 20ppm). For someone like you who experiences dermatitis herpetiformis, the reaction is particularly significant. DH is triggered by gluten ingestion, even without immediate gastrointestinal symptoms. So, while you may not feel an instant stomach upset, drinking a gluten-containing beer like Guinness could very well provoke a flare-up of your skin condition days later. It would be a gamble with a potentially uncomfortable and long-lasting consequence. Fortunately, there are excellent, certified gluten-free stouts available now that can provide a safe and satisfying alternative without the risk.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.
