Accidentally Ate Gluten, What Can I Do?

CRAP!!!! I can't believe I just did this!!! My bf brought me some beef jerky, and I didn't even THINK to look at the ingredients...why?? I DON'T KNOW!!! I've been so busy today, and was finally relaxing, watching tv, and grabbed the jerky. I ate the whole bag, then my mouth felt sorta funny, and I thought, wait a sec, I never checked the ingredients..........sure enough, contains soy AND WHEAT!!!

Do I induce vomiting? Would that help? 'cause I will!!! Seriously, I'm scared, I don't need this right now. I also gave blood today, so I'm already not 100%. I work at 1130 tomorrow morning, and I'm worried I'm going to be really ill! I almost lost my job the last time I took a Sunday off....why is it always Sundays? Strange. ANYWAYS.............

WHAT DO I DO???!!

We all do it but it will become more of a habit to read labels. I really like Align - the probiotic from Proctor and Gamble. You can get it any where but it is expensive. I don't give blood any more although I would like to. It just makes me too tired. Don't induce vomiting . . . you will just have to gut it out if you will excuse the pun. :rolleyes: Really try Align and I am not a paid spokesperson.

Sorry!!!! :( That sucks big time. The only thing I do that helps is drink lots and lots of peppermint tea. For some reason it soothes my whole body's yucky feeling.....and I don't really get horrible gastric reactions.

Feel better! Don't beat yourself up too bad. It's hard to get used to being so vigilant about food all the time.

inducing vomiting will make things worse. It'll really damage your esophagus and your teeth as well. And it won't prevent the reaction either...

Milk of magnesia to get it out faster, and Pepto Bismol to reduce the irritation. And lots of water.

Ok, thanks, guys, I'll have to stock up on some of those items. I panicked, so I did induce vomiting, but I won't next time. My reaction wasn't that intense, although very very very bad headache the next day.

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello, good afternoon!   I apologize, I didn’t see a notification and I’m just reading this. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and the link. Yes you are absolutely right, even so trying to get a response from them has been extremely difficult. They don’t answer but I will your practice of “guilty until proven innocent.”   I like and have a sense of trust here in this website, everyone is honest and thoughts are raw. The mutual understanding is amazing!   thank you Scott!

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      I'd go with a vodka tonic, but that's just me😉

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.
