He has been complaining of a stomachache for the past day. He hasn't had one at all since going gluten-free up until yesterday. He did have ice cream out (Graeter's) and DD threw Fruit Loops at him (she is 4) and 1 got in his mouth, so there are a couple of things that could have done it. Is there anything that he can take to help him feel better? He is complaining of a crampy type stomachache. He is 10 years old.

TIA!

I wish I knew of a mircle cure after being glutened. I try and get lots of rest, drink water and eat bland comfort foods.

Sorry,

A heating pad might provide some comfort. And I second the water suggestion. Maybe Pepto-Bismol if that has helped him before?

Thanks guys!!! I have never tried Pepto, but maybe I will give it a try. He is drinking lots of water. He was feeling better earlier today and then had some applesauce for lunch, along with some gluten-free mac & cheese. Now he says it hurts again. I am going to eliminate the applesauce for a few days (he normally eats a ton of it) and see if that is it. If not, it may be the dairy. :( He hasn't seem to have had a problem with dairy in the past, even the past few weeks he has eaten and drank tons and has been fine, so I think that is unlikely. Maybe it is just that he was glutened. I just thought it was odd that he was feeling better and then is now worse again after eating bland stuff.

I will give the heating pad a try, too!

I find that when I get glutened, I react to EVERYTHING for a few days, regardless of how I normally tolerate it. Especially other starches, but it goes away. Hope he feels better :)

I agree, after I am glutened no matter what I eat it goes through me :angry:

I'm all for hugs :D

However also respect his space, some of us get a bit funny about being touched or too much attention when glutened.

My fav comfort food is homemade chicken soup with cabbage, leek and celery gradually getting thicker over 3 days.

Sorry to hear he isn't feeling well. Maybe since he is young he will recover faster than we do. I don't know if this applies to gluten, but hopefully. :)

my daughter is six and when she gets accidentally glutened, pepto bismol chewables and liquid benedryl are our friends. (the benedry is for the hives she gets from head to toe). also, I make her sip on room temperature water, not cold water as it can aggravate cramping, and stick with very bland foods or no food if she's not interested in food at all. She seems to really like EnerG's gluten-free crackers when she's been glutened.

I always react to dairy when I am glutened so I would stay away from that, BRAT---banannas, rice, applesauce, adn gluten-free toast or gluten-free crackers of the same sort, just very bland food that wont aggrivate the tummy anymore than it already is now. I tak prescription fennergen which is anti-nausea, but that is only because i get SUCH a violent reaction that I am throwing up until i need to go to the ER, so the prescp. stops that.

hope he feels better soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      In general if it is certified gluten-free serious steps are taken to avoid cross-contamination, but things can still happen in a shared facility, and gluten-free certification isn't a guarantee, as we've seen recently:

      Celiac Disease and Skin Disorders: Exploring a Genetic Connection

      I had a variety of skin issues while growing up that were likely related to celiac disease, although I did not get full blown celiac disease until I was in my early 20's. I had topical dermatitis in certain areas, blepharitis (eyelids), and a patch of dermatitis herpetiformis on the back of my right-thumb area. I do believe that many people who have the genetic...

      Dizziness after eating green beans?

      As already mentioned here, and based on your description, this sounds like a serious and specific reaction to green beans. While your prior allergy tests didn't flag legumes, it's possible to develop a new allergy at any time. The symptoms you describe—extreme dizziness, racing heart, sweating, and itching—are consistent with a systemic allergic response, no...

      Slow healing?

      I was diagnosed with celiac disease in October last year and followed a strict gluten free diet since then. My dietitian told me that my diet looks absolutely perfect and I can’t think of many possible ways to get cc as I am very strict. However, when I did my check up gastroscopy a year later my healing only showed a slow improvement going from marsh 3b...

While your prior allergy tests didn't flag legumes, it's possible to develop a new allergy at any time. The symptoms you describe—extreme dizziness, racing heart, sweating, and itching—are consistent with a systemic allergic response, not just an intolerance. Given your history of celiac disease and tree nut allergies, your immune system is already predisposed to sensitivities. It is crucial to stop consuming green beans immediately and consult an allergist. They can perform more specific testing and may prescribe an epinephrine auto-injector for emergency use, as this type of reaction can be unpredictable and potentially escalate.

My dietitian told me that my diet looks absolutely perfect and I can’t think of many possible ways to get cc as I am very strict. However, when I did my check up gastroscopy a year later my healing only showed a slow improvement going from marsh 3b - 3a. Is this normal healing for a year? My main symtoms pre- diagnosis was joint/back pain, poor immune system and stomach problems (especially in the morning). Joint pain and the immune system improved almost instantly but the stomach problems still persist (but has gotten better). For reference I am a 21 year old male and both my ttg levels were normal after just 4 months and also the test for calkprotekin. My diet consists of 99% home cooked meals in a kitchen free from gluten.

      Issues before diagnosis

      By cristiana · Posted

      I agree, it so often overlooked! I live in the UK and I have often wondered why doctors are so reluctant to at least exclude it - my thoughts are perhaps the particular tests are expensive for the NHS, so therefore saved for people with 'obvious' symptoms.  I was diagnosed in 2013 and was told immediately that my parents, sibling and children should be checked.  My parents' GP to this day has not put forward my father for testing, and my mother was never tested in her lifetime, despite the fact that they both have some interesting symptoms/family history that reflect they might have coeliac disease (Dad - extreme bloating, and his Mum clearly had autoimmune issues, albeit undiagnosed as such; Mum - osteoporosis, anxiety).  I am now my father' legal guardian and suspecting my parents may have forgotten to ask their GP for a test (which is entirely possible!) I put it to his last GP that he ought to be tested.  He looked at Dad's blood results and purely because he was not anemic said he wasn't a coeliac.  Hopefully as the awareness of Coeliac Disease spreads among the general public, people will be able to advocate for themselves.  It is hard because in the UK the NHS is very stretched, but the fallout from not being diagnosed in a timely fashion will only cost the NHS more money. Interestingly, a complete aside, I met someone recently whose son was diagnosed (I think she said he was 8).  At a recent birthday party with 8 guests, 4 boys out of the 8 had received diagnosis of Coeliac Disease, which is an astounding statistic  As far as I know, though, they had all had obvious gastric symptoms leading to their NHS diagnosis.  In my own case I had  acute onset anxiety, hypnopompic hallucinations (vivid hallucinations upon waking),  odd liver function, anxiety, headaches, ulcers and low iron but it wasn't until the gastric symptoms hit me that a GP thought to do coeliac testing, and my numbers were through the roof.  As @trents says, by the grace of God I was diagnosed, and the diet has pretty much dealt with most of those symptoms.  I have much to be grateful for.
