What To Eat Once Contaminated?

I have been diagnosed for about 5 years now and I have ups and downs. I am very careful about what I eat. I somehow became contaminated about two weeks ago. I have had horrible diarrhea which will probably last for about another week (it usually takes three weeks to stop after contamination). At this point, I don't know what to eat. Everything makes me uncomfortable and it goes right through. But, I get hungry. Any ideas on what foods would be good until things calm down?

Sorry you are feeling so bad right now. I go with Cream of Buckwheat and also chicken broth with rice noodles. Sweet potatos are also good as they have good amounts of both soluable and insoluable fiber so they help with both D and C.

Thanks for the tips. They all actually sound appealing, especially the sweet potato. I will definitely try them.

I tend to stick to a bland diet when I get glutened. I will do chicken broth, rice, plain meats, baked potatoes, eggs etc. I try not to overdue it with fat since I tend to get fat malabsorption when glutened. I take RX creon when I get like that too but that is just me. Hope you feel better soon.

Fat malabsorption - definitely. What's creon?

Open Original Shared Link

It is a prescription pancreatic enzyme. I was prescribed it back in Aug. 2010 when I was having severe fat malabsorption. It, along with another elimination diet was a last ditch effort to avoid steriods. I had been having issues for 8 months. I was able to quit taking it after about 3 months(I became constipated). I had discovered during that time of elimination I was reacting to gluten free oat cross contamination in gluten free products. I now avoid any gluten free product that may have that in and I am fine. However, whenever I get gluten or gluten free oat contamination or accidently eat something I get severe diarrhea and steatorrhea(fat malabsorption). The creon helps during the week or so it takes me to get over it, then I quit taking it.

      For back pain, I take a combination of Cobalamine B12, Pyridoxine B 6, and Thiamine B 1 (in the form Benfotiamine), which have an analgesic effect.  These three B vitamins together work way better than those over the counter pain relievers.  Theses are water soluble B vitamins that are easily excreted via the kidneys if not needed.  Thiamine will also help the nausea.

      @stephaniekl, welcome to the forum, Is your daughter taking any nutritional supplements?   Weight loss and failure to thrive are two symptoms of thiamine insufficiency.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms are not recognized as such by doctors.   I experienced similar symptoms when I became malnourished.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms can become worse quickly, and can affect one emotionally and mentally.  Although blood tests for thiamine aren't accurate, do have your daughter checked for nutritional deficiencies.  Thiamine B 1 works with the other B vitamins and magnesium.  Thiamine and Niacin B 3 help improve Gerd.  All the B vitamins are frequently low due to malabsorption.  Vitamin D will help calm the immune system.  Thiamine helps the immune system fight off viruses like those tick borne illnesses.   Thiamine Mononitrate, which is in many vitamin supplements, is not bioavailable.  I was taking a multivitamin containing thiamine mononitrate and still became deficient in thiamine. Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine has been shown to promote intestinal healing.  A form called TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) is also excellent for correcting thiamine deficiency.  A combination of Thiamine, Cobalamine B12, and Pyridoxine B 6 has analgesic properties.  I take it for back pain.   Keep us posted on your progress!

      Has prednisone or some other systemic steroid been tried that might quiet her immune system down for a while? I have two acquaintances with Lyme's disease. It is a wicked condition that has long fingers.

      We have.  She is so limited as to what she can eat.  She has a nutritionist, but they are even at a loss.  Right now, her pain is so significant that she can only eat 5-10 bites a meal.   We just got some labs back today and she is hypoglycemia, anemic and her immune system is shot.  She also is positive for 3 tickborne illnesses.  Thanks for your help!

      A much better suggestion than that of the new doctor!
