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.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Russ H · Posted

      I hope you are on the mend soon. About 1 in 5 people who contracted chicken pox as a child go on to develop shingles in later life - it is not uncommon. There are 5 known members of the herpes virus family including chicken pox that commonly infect humans, and they all cause lifelong infections. The exact cause of viral reactivation as in the case of shingles or cold sores is not well understood, but stress, sunburn and radiotherapy treatment are known triggers. Some of the herpes viruses are implicated in triggering autoimmune diseases: Epstein-Barr virus is suspected of triggering multiple sclerosis and lupus, and there is a case where it is suspected of triggering coeliac disease. As to whether coeliac disease can increase the likelihood of viral reactivation, there have been several cohort studies including a large one in Sweden suggesting that coeliac disease is associated with a moderate increase in the likelihood of developing shingles in people over the age of 50.

      BFree bread is fortified with vitamins and minerals as is ASDA own-brand gluten-free bread. All the M&S bread seems to be fortified also.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Flash1970 · Posted

      You might try Heallix.  It's a silver solution with fulvic acid. I just put the solution on with a cotton ball.  It seemed to stop the nerve pain. Again,  not in your eyes or ears.   Go to heallix.com to read more about it and decide for yourself Also,  I do think nerve and celiac combined have a lot to do with your susceptibility to shingles breaking out.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      Celiac disease requires both genetic potential and a triggering stress event to activate the genes. Otherwise it remains dormant and only a potential problem. So having the genetic potential is not deterministic for celiac disease. Many more people have the genes than actually develop the disease. But if you don't have the genes, the symptoms are likely being caused by something else.
