    A sort of gluten morning after pill... hmmm. Well, I must have glutened myself also this past Thursday because I felt like I got beaten with a 2x4 this weekend and am just now beginning to feel better. Hopefully you didn't go through anything like that! For me I start to feel uneasy and anxious, then the gut pain starts and I just need to take it...

    This reminds me of some of the symptoms I experienced prior to being diagnosed celiac. An occasional aching in my right side upper abdomen became a constant burning that never completely went away. This was accompanied by a lot of burping when the pain was at its worst. After going gluten free 45 days ago (& dairy free 14 days) the constant pain...

    Thanks for your responses. I'm glad I took the time to write this up a little, because in hindsight it seems like I made a pretty risky move. I did ask about the ingredients of the breading, but of course there are several steps along the way including the frying which could be susceptible to CC. I think it's best just to stay away from this menu...

    The endoscopy recommendation I think will depend on your symptoms. If you are experiencing chronic, serious issues that likely could be a result of something wrong in your stomach and/or small intestine then it's probably worth doing the procedure. They are able to view the condition of the tissue and also take biopsies so it's pretty good information....

    That might take some time and testing. Two tests my doctor recommended right away were a CT scan and an upper endoscopy. Both of these are expensive, time consuming and a little intimidating. But if you are experiencing serious symptoms like I was I would not hesitate to have these done. The CT scan was not so bad and I'm guessing it did rule out a few...

    Mercy, and to think I did not know there was such a thing as a digestive enzyme. I clearly have a digestive problem that needs help in some form, I will give the enzymes a try in addition to the probiotic. Hopefully some combination of this with avoiding dairy will help my system improve. Poor little villi. The low FODMAP diet appears a bit involved...

    Thanks for your responses! I am currently taking a digestive probiotic by trunature which I assume is a digestive enzyme as has been suggested. I think perhaps lactose could be causing a gas issue leading to pain. My doctor seemed to not have anything to say about this except I must be swallowing air that makes me burp? I respectfully disagree because...

    Thanks IH. So I guess omeprazale IS my "painkiller" for the time being. Hmmm. Thankfully I have not felt compelled to take Tylenol too often. That a little surprising it has no benefit at all for gut pain, it would be nice if there were some OTC med that would help! I have found that rest helps mitigate the pain so I have that going for me, although...

    Thank you for your repsonses, good advice to be careful to select a gluten free vitamin, that could be a couple steps back instead of forward!

    I was diagnosed about 3 weeks ago so I am pretty new to a strict gluten free diet, although I started cutting way back on gluten after it was "probable" I had an issue around 2 months ago. Anyway, my major issue is middlish right side abdominal pain which can be severe at times. It kind of cycles up and down, the doctor thinks it's due to pretty severe...
