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.

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By Theresa2407 · Posted

      Maybe you have a low  intolerance to Wheat.   Rye, Barley and Malt are the gluten in Celiac disease.  It has always been stated Wheat and Gluten, not just a Wheat intolerance.  Barley will keep me in bed for (2) weeks.  Gut, Migrains, Brain fog, Diahrea.  It is miserable.  And when I was a toddler the doctor would give me a malt medicine because I always had Anemia and did not grow.  Boy was he off.  But at that time the US didn't know anyone about Celiac.  This was the 1940s and 50s.  I had my first episode at 9 months and did not get a diagnosis until I was 50.  My immune system was so shot before being diagnoised, so now I live with the consequences of it. I was so upset when Manufacturers didn't want to label their products so they added barley to the product.  It was mostly the cereal industry.  3 of my favorite cereals were excluded because of this. Malt gives me a bad Gut reaction.

      Thanks much Scott.  Well said, and heeded.   I don't have Celiac, which is fortunate.

      Possible celiac - need advice

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Do you have the results of your endoscopy? Did you do a celiac disease blood panel before that?  Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Celiac or not??

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It is odd that your Tissue Transglutaminase (TTG) IgA level has bounced from the "inconclusive" range (7.9, 9.8) down to a negative level (5.3), only to climb back up near the positive threshold. This inconsistency, coupled with your ongoing symptoms of malabsorption and specific nutrient deficiencies, is a strong clinical indicator that warrants a more thorough investigation than a simple "satisfactory" sign-off. A negative blood test does not definitively rule out celiac disease, especially with such variable numbers and a classic symptomatic picture. You are absolutely right to seek a second opinion and push for a referral to a gastroenterologist. A biopsy remains the gold standard for a reason, and advocating for one is the most direct path to getting the answers you need to finally address the root cause of your suffering.

      There is a distinction between gluten itself and the other chemicals and processing methods involved in modern food production. Your experience in Italy and Greece, contrasted with your reactions in the U.S., provides powerful anecdotal evidence that the problem, for some people, may not be the wheat, but the additives like potassium bromate and the industrial processing it undergoes here. The point about bromines displacing iodine and disrupting thyroid function is a significant one, explaining a potential biological mechanism for why such additives could cause systemic health issues that mimic gluten sensitivity. It's both alarming and insightful to consider that the very "watchdog" agencies meant to protect us are allowing practices banned in many other developed countries. Seeking out European flour and your caution about the high-carb, potentially diabeticgenic nature of many gluten-free products are excellent practical takeaways from your research, but I just want to mention--if you have celiac disease you need to avoid all wheat, including all wheat and gluten in Europe.
