Glutened two times within a month

I was severely glutened prior to a virtual colonoscopy. I was given a prep that was confirmed to be gluten free by a medical professional and it wasn’t. I ended up in emergency room poisoned and dehydrated. It has taken 5 weeks to feel better and then I went out to dinner with hubby and got glutened again. This second bout has really damaged my gut and I am doing everything to fix it. It makes you feel like you can’t trust anyone. Looking for some healing advice.

Hello Julep and welcome to the forum!

What a horrible experience.   I would certainly, at least for the foreseeable, avoid eating away from home if you can.  

Banana, rice, apple sauce and toast are my tried and tested go to cures when I have been badly glutened.  I also find chicken breasts, slow-cooked in a crockpot in water, carrots, potatoes and a smattering of herbs until the chicken literally falls off the bone a very healing meal.  I cook a large batch and eat it as my main meal for days.   You can liquidise it as a broth. 

I find camomile a very healing drink, and just plain hot water.   I also sometimes add a few slices of fresh ginger to the hot water.

The following suggestion is certainly not for everyone.  However,  time and time again I find my glutening experience includes gastritis - a burning stomach with belching - and reflux type symptoms.   When this happens I do have 20 mg of Omeprazole or Nexium for a few days.   I don't need to use it regularly, but I do find it gets me over the worst of the burning.

At a time like this I would suggest avoiding fatty, spicy food, and strong tea or coffee.   Avoid alcohol.  Don't use NSAIDs or aspirin unless indicated by your physician.  

Hope some of this helps.

Thank you for wonderful advice. 
do you use brown or white rice? 
also would you use an air fryer for the chicken.

You are so welcome, Julep.

In my own case white rice - when my tummy is sore, any fibre is really aggravating.

As for an air fryer, I'm sorry - I don't know about that one.  I don't have one in my kitchen but it sounds good (can you  make doughnuts with it?!!)

My feeling is so long as the chicken is really soft and not coated in fat or spices, it should be easy to digest and that's what you want right now.

I thought white rice would be best. 
air fryers are great. I can cook a whole chicken like the rotisserie ones in store . The seasoning is in the skin. The chicken is so tender. 
and yes you can cook donuts with gluten free flour. It does everything. 
I just bought some Yogi Vanilla Peppermint tea. I can wait to have some. It’s good for any kind of indigestion problems.

That sounds very good.   I so miss doughnuts, I might have to invest!

My go-to when I have been glutened is chickpea and leek soup. The leek fibre is very soft and slippery and doesn't irritate my gut. Strangely, I find that a glass of red wine helps - for some reason it seems to stop the burping and reflux for a few hours. Tea with milk is OK for me but coffee, cucumber, sweet pepper, raw salad and anything salty or acidic really upsets my stomach when I have been glutened.

      Getting sick much more often

      By Jordan Carlson · Posted

      @trents I do take all the recommended vitamins and excersize regularly. Basically do all things labeled as a healthy lifestyle haha. Thats why I was thinking more this is my immune system now having the energy to fight viruses rather than being too stressed out as I have heard that it is a common thing when your body is over stressed due to underlying autoimmune diseases

      Jordan Carlson, Wheat flour is fortified with vitamins ("enriched") where as gluten free facsimile flours are not. So when you eliminate wheat flour from your diet you may lose a significant source of nutrition. At the same time, gluten-free prepackaged foods are practically devoid of vitamins and minerals, consisting mostly of highly processed high carbohydrate grain substitutes. Lots of rice flour and tapioca. Have you compensated by adding in some high quality gluten free vitamin and mineral supplements? We typically recommend this for new celiacs, especially at the front end of recovery before there has been very much healing of the small bowel villous lining and nutritional absorption is still poor. Edit: I edited my other post to direct it to Sanna King's post.

      Hey there @trents. I wish I could edit my original post. I am talking about getting a cold way more often, not gluten poisoning.

      Reply to Sanna King: As you have withdrawn gluten from your diet you have lost all tolerance to it that you had when consuming it on a regular basis. This is normal. Not everyone experiences it but it is common. It has been my experience as well. When I was consuming gluten every meal every day for years after the onset of celiac disease but before diagnosis I would experience mild GI symptoms like a little occasional diarrhea. After being gluten free for a significant time, any major exposure to gluten would make me violently ill. Hours of severe cramps and vomiting followed by hours of diarrhea. Like when my wife made me gluten-free biscuits and made herself wheat flour biscuits and I got them mixed up and ate a couple. I am not a super sensitive celiac in the sense of being made ill by small amounts of cross contamination but if I get a significant exposure like I just described it is awful.

      Hi there @Sanna King! I am talking about contracting colds/flu, not gluten reactions. Sorry if I did not make that clear. My stomach symptoms have improved vastly since changing my diet. But I contract colds way more often than I ever had before.
