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.

      Its been a complete nightmare dealing with all these health issues one thing after another and being told many different things.I am looking for a new primary care physician considering when I told my past doctor of 25 years I was diagnosed before any foods eliminated from my diet and now this year at age 54 no longer able to push considering Im always exhausted, leg pain , stomach,skin and eye issues,high blood pressure to name a few all worsen because I was a  school bus driver and few years until my immune system went to hell and was fired because of it.Im still struggling now, Im sibo positive and been told im not celiac and that I am.I have a hernia and dealing with menopause. Its exhausting and is causing depression because of non medical help. Today I saw another gastrointestinalist and he said everything im feeling doesn't add up to celiac disease since my ITg levels are normal so celiac disease is under control and it's something else. I for got I had Barrett's esophagus diagnosed in 2007 because recent doctors down played it just like my celiac disease. Im currently looking for a pcp in my area because it is affecting me personally and professionally. Im told since celiac looks under control it's IBS and I need to see a therapist to control it. Gastrointestinalist around here think only food consumption and if ITG looks normal its bit celiac disease it's something else. Is this right? This is what im being told. I want medical help but told its IBS.Im feel lost by " medical team "

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By trents · Posted

      My migraines generally have their onset during the early morning hours as well. Presently, I am under siege with them, having headaches all but two days so far this month. I have looked at all the things reported to be common triggers (foods, sleep patterns, weather patterns, stress, etc.). Every time I think I start to see a pattern it proves not to pan out in the long run. I'm not sure it's any one thing but may, instead, be a combination of things that coalesce at certain times. It's very frustrating. The medication (sumatriptan or "Imatrix") is effective and is the only thing that will quell the pain. NSAIDs, Tylenol, even hydrocodone doesn't touch it. But they only give you 9 does of sumatriptan a month. And it doesn't help that medical science doesn't really know what causes migraines. They know some things about it but the root cause is still a mystery.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Just a gluten free diet is not enough.  Now you have to identify and replenish your malnutrition.  Celiac disease is co-morbid with malabsorption syndrome.  Low vitamin D, Low Thiamine caused Gastointeston Beriberi, low choline, low iodine are common the general population, and in newly diagnosed Celiacs in the western culture its is more likely.  It takes time to heal and you need to focus on vitamins and minerals.  Gluten free foods are not fortified like regular processed foods.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By Sarah Grace · Posted

      Dear Kitty Since March I have been following your recommendations regarding vitamins to assist with various issues that I have been experiencing.  To recap, I am aged 68 and was late diagnosed with Celiac about 12 years ago.  I had been experiencing terrible early morning headaches which I had self diagnosed as hypoglycaemia.  I also mentioned that I had issues with insomnia, vertigo and brain fog.   It's now one year since I started on the Benfotiamine 600 mg/day.  I am still experiencing the hypoglycaemia and it's not really possible to say for sure whether the Benfotiamine is helpful.  In March this year, I added B-Complex Thiamine Hydrochloride and Magnesium L-Threonate on a daily basis, and I am now confident to report that the insomnia and vertigo and brain fog have all improved!!  So, very many thanks for your very helpful advice. I am now less confident that the early morning headaches are caused by hypoglycaemia, as even foods with a zero a GI rating (cheese, nuts, etc) can cause really server headaches, which sometimes require migraine medication in order to get rid off.  If you are able to suggest any other treatment I would definitely give it a try, as these headaches are a terrible burden.  Doctors in the UK have very limited knowledge concerning dietary issues, and I do not know how to get reliable advice from them. Best regards,
