I find that Benadryl and Motrin help with some of the symptoms. But there is no way to speed the recovery process along. At least I have not found one yet. If you are new to this, start looking for symptoms and note how long until they go away. At least you will have a better idea of what you are in for next time.

Otherwise, buy some comfy fitting decent looking clothes to have in the closet in case of emergency...

Hope you feel better soon!

When my stomach hurts really bad I try a heating pad, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.

If your stomach is "okay enough" a nice warm bath is good too or with Epson Salt (supposed to help relax your body). If I'm out and not feeling good I suck on a mint life saver, a sucker or Altoids (some are gluten free) -- I don't know if it is a mind thing that makes it where it helps some. I haven't really had any luck with trying to get the pain to go away -- sometimes just curling up in bed works or doing things to try to take your mind off of it so you aren't constantly thinking about it i.e. crafts/hobby ;)

I agree with gfgypsyqueen.... I somtimes take Motrin or Advil to help.

GOOD LUCK!!

This is a late reply but for future reference...

I have good results from drinking hot peppermint tea, or a spearmint/peppermint blend. Also, lemon balm tea is a great remedy but really hard to find. I grow some in my yard, so I have it available from May-October.

Trader Joes has a Mint Melange tea that is gluten-free and very good.

Pepto Bismal is what Ravenwoodglass recommends and I find that helps when I have to go to work. It makes me feel better. Tea is better for bloat and helps me feel better too.

Hope you're better soon.

Thanks everyone. Things are getting better. The worst is over, and now I am just trying to get rid of the water retention. I am going to look for the peppermint tea and a few of the other items to have on hand for the next time. I am sure there will be a next time because I am kind of a slow learner at this. I guess I am back to soft easy food for a few more days.

      Feel Good gluten free chicken soup dumplings

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @ARSTONE! The ingredients are listed as follows: Chicken, Water, Rice Flour, Tapioca Starch, Tamari Soy Sauce (Water, Soybeans, Salt, Sugar, Corn Starch), Contains 2% or less of: Canola and/or Sunflower Oil, Ginger, Scallions, Brown Sugar, Potato Starch, Rice Wine (Rice, Water, Salt), Chicken Soup Base (Chicken Meat with Natural Juices, Salt, Sugar, Yeast Extract, Chicken Fat, Onion, Potato Flour, Turmeric, Spice Extractives), Konjac Flour, Xanthan Gum, Chicken Powder, Salt, Black Pepper, Sesame Oil, Gelatin I have underlined the ingredients which could contain hidden sources of gluten. Xanthan Gum wouldn't contain gluten but it is a polysaccharide that is a common ingredient in prepackaged gluten free foods and poses digestive difficulties for many people. The same might be said for Konjac flour.  It is also possible that the product exceeds the specs for the FDA criteria of "gluten free" whose upper limit is 20 ppm of gluten. We are seeing this more often lately and many are calling for stricter sampling standards in the gluten free food industry such that testing is done more often.

      Feel Good gluten free chicken soup dumplings

      By ARSTONE · Posted

      I recently ate a package of feel good brand gluten-free chicken soup dumplings. Immediately after eating them, my stomach became extremely extremely bloated and gassy and it's two days later now and I'm still extremely uncomfortable. They say there's gluten-free and there doesn't appear to be anything in the ingredients that I think would be the problem. Has anyone else eaten these and had this experience?

      Great tips, Deb. Thanks.  What a pity that they no longer mark items as gluten-free. And it is even more of a shame that you must bring protein bars instead of the crew helping you with your needs. Are you planning on sailing Royal again?
