My entire gut feels like it is inflamed from this gluten incident! I've had 2 sleepless and painful nghts with all the toxic symtpoms. I had to take a zantac during the night to stop the burning> Is there anything better out there that would help the inflamation (short term) while I get this under control again. I'm really sensitive to a lot of meds and of course need a gluten-free one. any ideas or just stick with the zantac?

I went and bought OTC Zantac 150. Let's hope it helps! the IBS is really bad too but I don't want to take too many different meds! When it rains it pours....My abdomen is soooooooooooo bloated and it hurts!

There was a study posted some time ago that said antiacids may contribute to food allergies by allowing undigested proteins into the small bowel.

thanks for the responses. I think i found the culprit...BEANO!

Coincidentally I've been sick since I started taking it and seem to get more bloated and feel more ill right after I take it. Isn't it supposed to help you digest??? anyway, after doing some research I found that it is made from a fungus and that some may be sensitive or allergic to it. given all my food allergies I'm sure that is what is making me sick. Hopefully by stopping it I will feel better in a few days!

this is soooooooooooo upsetting and crazy. another day in the house feeling awful. I took 2 last night with dinner and was up all night! :angry:

I hope you've found the culprit and that you feel better soon! I have been seriously thinking of getting some beano after my last glutening incident, bloated for 4 days straight and then pain in my gut for another 4 days. Argh! However, if it's made out of fungus of any sort I think I'll stay away from it. Right now my system seems to be so sensitive that I don't want to chance it!

Shoot, does anyone have any suggestions on how to get rid of the bloating without beano? Did the beano work at first?

I used to take Zelnorm for the IBS..but found that after taking it for a while it caused too much movement! I cut the does in half an only took it with my largest meal. It helped me get through some rough patches. I try not to take anything for long periods of time.

:( sometimes when the gut is inflammed, you may need an antispamodic, which is a prescription. Levbid, donnatol-sp?, are examples. they relax the gut. also simethacone (like gas x) may help reduce bloating by moving gas out. I tolerate motrin and find it helps with pain as pain increases production of prostoglandins, which is the hormone that causes pain. antiinflammatory drugs like motrin reduce this hormone.

Good luck

I'm still new at this gluten free stuff. Forked out all the $ on a bread machine thats to be used to make the worst tasting stuff ever. All the different flours, because you can't use just one... I guess the suffering we're going through is not enough. I'm just having a really bad day, got glutten in me last Saturday. My lower back aches, across my shoulders and neck, feel listless, angry, anxious, and just want to go to bed. I need to get out and exercise but can't even get going on that, this is so frustrating! I want to just cry most of the time, food turns my stomach but I force myself to eat. I'm congested feeling with my voice sounding crouppy. My poor husband don't know what to do, thinks I'm heading to the looney bin. I just sit there not wanting to talk or watch shows with him. Is this just me. I used to be happy, laughing at everything, singing to music, always ready to up and go. It also feels like stuff crawling around inside of me. Looking forward to tomorrow... Gotta get better...

You have described exactly how I feel when I eat gluten, I just can't do anything, everything is upsetting, and I too was happy, laughing and singing. I hope to get back to that point again to. I have ingested gluten several times this past month, so will take awhile to get back to myself. The sooner the better! My husband really suffers when I go through this stuff.

I was talking to my husband over the lunch hour and told him about your note about not being yourself. I told my husband "her board name is DebbieNibbles and he says, well, then yours should be 'BernadetteChews.'" :huh:;)

hey everyone......

Ive been accidentally glutened from eating a box of Corn Pops cereal----had the worst suffering and pain since my first episode upon diagnosis 6 yrs ago----would have gone to the ER but figured, if its Celiac related what can the doctors do for me? Theres no remedy or cure....it just has to "take its course", right?

What helped me through this bad 48 hours (besides my caring boyfriend) were the following:

1. hot lemon water

2. advil

3. white rice

4. banana

5. gluten-free roll with jelly

:)

I would also like to add that I always take this anti-gas pill that works wonders for me......I take it before or after I eat most meals like barbeques, sushi, dairy, etc.

This pill makes me feel soooooo much better! However, I never confirmed with the company if they are completely gluten-free. Im assuming---and I know that I shouldnt assume anything. The name is Phayzme. Does anyone know for sure if this is gluten-free? If it is, its a lifesaver....try it!!!!! :rolleyes:

I have looked in my list of medications and cannot find that Phayzme is gluten-free. <_< That doesn't mean it isn't, it is just not on my listing of gluten-free meds.

You might try chewing fennel seeds or cumin seeds. I found they help relieve indigestion and heartburn within minutes.

I don't know about Phayzme but Rolaids makes a antiacid and anti-gas called Rolaids Multi Symptom and they told me it was gluten-free it works wonders for me.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Have you tried Pure Encapsulations supplements? This is a brand my doctor recommends for me. I have no issues with this brand.

      FDA Moves to Improve Gluten Labeling—What It Means for People With Celiac Disease

      My question I have proposed to the FDA through their website is why Prescription and OTC drug manufacturers are not required to list what binding ingredients were used to bine the drug? They list this on Capsules which are made of cellulose but not on pills? As it stands I or my pharmacist must contact the manufacturer to find out and my list is long from...

I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!
