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.

      Bob red mill gluten free oats

      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...

      High TTG-IgG and Normal TTG-IgA

      @SamAlvi, It's common with anemia to have a lower tTg IgA antibodies than DGP IgG ones, but your high DGP IgG scores still point to Celiac disease. Since a gluten challenge would pose further health damage, you may want to ask for a DNA test to see if you have any of the commonly known genes for Celiac disease. Though having the genes for Celiac...

      Thank you for the clarification and for taking the time to explain the terminology so clearly. I really appreciate your insight, especially the distinction between celiac disease and NCGS and how anemia can point more toward celiac. This was very helpful for me.

      Son's legs shaking

      Hi, My 7 year daughter has complained of this in the past, which I thought were part of her glutening symptom, but more recently I have come to figure out it's part of her histamine overload symptom. This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine...

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/

      @SamAlvi, It's common with anemia to have a lower tTg IgA antibodies than DGP IgG ones, but your high DGP IgG scores still point to Celiac disease.   Since a gluten challenge would pose further health damage, you may want to ask for a DNA test to see if you have any of the commonly known genes for Celiac disease.  Though having the genes for Celiac is not diagnostic in and of itself, taken with the antibody tests, the anemia and your reaction to gluten, it may be a confirmation you have Celiac disease.   Do discuss Gastrointestinal Beriberi with your doctors.  In Celiac disease, Gastrointestinal Beriberi is frequently overlooked by doctors.  The digestive system can be affected by localized Thiamine deficiency which causes symptoms consistent with yours.  Correction of nutritional deficiencies quickly is beneficial.  Benfotiamine, a form of thiamine, helps improve intestinal health.  All eight B vitamins, including Thiamine (Benfotiamine), should be supplemented because they all work together.   The B vitamins are needed in addition to iron to correct anemia.   Hope this helps!  Keep us posted on your progress!

      High TTG-IgG and Normal TTG-IgA

      By trents · Posted

      Currently, there are no tests for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out and we do have testing for celiac disease. There are two primary test modalities for diagnosing celiac disease. One involves checking for antibodies in the blood. For the person with celiac disease, when gluten is ingested, it produces an autoimmune response in the lining of the small bowel which generates specific kinds of antibodies. Some people are IGA deficient and such that the IGA antibody tests done for celiac disease will have skewed results and cannot be trusted. In that case, there are IGG tests that can be ordered though, they aren't quite as specific for celiac disease as the IGA tests. But the possibility of IGA deficiency is why a "total IGA" test should always be ordered along with the TTG-IGA. The other modality is an endoscopy (scoping of the upper GI track) with a biopsy of the small bowel lining. The aforementioned autoimmune response produces inflammation in the small bowel lining which, over time, damages the structure of the lining. The biopsy is sent to a lab and microscopically analyzed for signs of this damage. If the damage is severe enough, it can often be spotted during the scoping itself. The endoscopy/biopsy is used as confirmation when the antibody results are positive, since there is a small chance that elevated antibody test scores can be caused by things other than celiac disease, particularly when the antibody test numbers are not particularly high. If the antibody test numbers are 10x normal or higher, physicians will sometimes declare an official diagnosis of celiac disease without an endoscopy/biopsy, particularly in the U.K. Some practitioners use stool tests to detect celiac disease but this modality is not widely recognized in the medical community as valid. Both celiac testing modalities outlined above require that you have been consuming generous amounts of gluten for weeks/months ahead of time. Many people make the mistake of experimenting with the gluten free diet or even reducing their gluten intake prior to testing. By doing so, they invalidate the testing because antibodies stop being produced, disappear from the blood and the lining of the small bowel begins to heal. So, then they are stuck in no man's land, wondering if they have celiac disease or NCGS. To resume gluten consumption, i.e., to undertake a "gluten challenge" is out of the question because their reaction to gluten is so strong that it would endanger their health. The lining of the small bowel is the place where all of the nutrition in the food we consume is absorbed. This lining is made up of billions of microscopically tiny fingerlike projections that create a tremendous nutrient absorption surface area. The inflammation caused by celiac disease wears down these fingers and greatly reduces the surface area needed for nutrient absorption. Thus, people with celiac disease often develop iron deficiency anemia and a host of other vitamin and mineral deficiencies. It is likely that many more people who have issues with gluten suffer from NCGS than from celiac disease. We actually know much more about the mechanism of celiac disease than we do about NCGS but some experts believe NCGS can transition into celiac disease.

I wish I had known of this at the time of her diagnosis, life would have been much easier.  I hope you are able to figure out.
