What Do You Do Right After You Get Glutened?

Hi guys,

Got glutened last night by hummus- so frustrating. I was wondering if there is anything you do to help in the following days. I suffer from constipation, soreness, head fog, fatigue and nasea. In the past I have limited soild food and tried to do at home smoothies with rice protein powder. This helps to not upset my stomach as I wil feel VERY full eating the smallest meal. I was thinking too, i know that fish oil in large amounts act as an anti-inflamitory to the intestines, so the thought of raw salmon sounded very good. I am always unsure if i should double my supplements or wait a week until the gluten goes away and then try hard to heal. I usually have a delayed response (about 2 days til i feel it) then it will last about a week.

I was just wondering if you have any sort of ritual or routine that you think helps you out?

I usually eat rice, bananas, and beef broth for a day or two...depending on how bad it is...then I start incorporating other things little by little...I'm usually back to normal by day 3.

I hope this helps :)

When I get glutened I find that Red Bull really helps. It's a liquid shot of caffeine and B vitamins. It minimizes my nausea and definitely helps with the fatigue. I can't say it helps the bloating or the general discomfort, but my mood improves which, for me, is a biggie. If you get really nauseous though, you may not want to try it because of the caffeine. For me though, it's a life saver.

I have to eat really small meals, too. Usually plain chicken sits fairly well, bananas do ok, but I can't do a whole lot of carbs, so I have to break them up throughout the day.

For the first few days after I've been glutened, I drink apple cider vinegar with water (like 1 tsp/1 oz of water) after I eat and sometimes in between. I'm not sure if the glutening minimizes the stomach acid that I produce, but it certainly helps me get through the few days of "the burn".

I drink alot of peppermint tea, it seems to calm my stomach.

Keep hydrated (I mix gatorade and water), eat mild foods (bananas, rice, no dairy), and keep gas meds on hand.

Hope you feel better soon!

eat plain (if I can stomach it, I get nausea), take extra doses of vitamin D and B12 for the mental symptoms and sometimes a natural diuretic if the edema is more than 2 lbs in 1 day.

this weekend I also tried an anti histimane to see if that would lessen the impact, didn't help with the D and was okay otherwise, not entirely sure if it helped or not

Thanks guys.

I wonder if an anti-inflamitory would help? My stomach gets really inflamed and i think thats part of what causes my constipation. Any thoughts?

catch 22 with the anti inflams, it will reduce the inflamation but then some of them can increase constipation as well <_<

someone else on this forum has suggested aloe vera gel, that's supposed to have natural anti inflamatory properties, I was thinking of giving it a try myself

Just went through this myself -- 2 days of symptoms (D, brain fog, fatigue). It is so frustrating to be rolling along gluten-free, feeling OK and then -- yikes! What did I eat? How did this happen?

Anyway....aloe vera gel helps me. I use the Organic, Whole Leaf kind. I mix it with a glass of water -- about 1 part gel to 4 parts water -- stir it up and just swig it down. It really helps me.

Good luck.

PS -- I did figure out that I definitely have a problem if I eat too many corn products too. :mellow:

      Family education

      @Rogol72, dermatitis herpetiformis occurs in a minority of celiac patients and if the OP hasn't developed it yet I doubt it will show up in the future. I think it unwise to use a scare tactic that probably won't materialize in the OP's experience. It has a good chance of backfiring and having the opposite effect.

      Hi @trents, You're correct. The OP mentioned fatigue and vitamin deficiencies as the only symptoms at the time of diagnosis. Since the family are not taking him/her seriously and find them to be too fussy, I suggested showing them pictures of dermatitis herpetiformis as one of the consequences of not taking the gluten-free diet seriously ... would make life easier for him/her, and the family might begin to take his/her strict gluten-free diet more seriously. A picture says a thousand words and the shock factor of dermatitis herpetiformis blisters might have the desired effect. The OP did say ... "How do you deal with people close to you who just refuse to understand? Are there any resources anyone could recommend for families that are short and easy to read?".  @sillyyak52, It might also help mentioning to your family that Coeliac Disease is genetic and runs in families. Any one of them could develop it in the future if they have the HLA DQ 2.5 gene. Here's a Mayo Clinic study calling for screening of family members of Coeliacs ... https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/mayo-clinic-minute-celiac-disease-screening-for-family-members/ https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/mayo-clinic-study-calls-for-screening-of-family-members-of-celiac-disease-patients/ I got glutened a few months ago because I missed the may contains statement on a tub of red pesto. It was my own fault but it happens.

      Cycle of dermatitis herpetiformis

      By Hopeful1950 · Posted

      Oh yes.  I would never recommend taking it for an extended period of time.  When 70% of my body was covered in blistering itchy sores, an amazing doctor prescribed it diagnostically because I was unwilling to do a gluten challenge after already going strictly gluten-free in desperation after 10 years of suffering and being poo pooed by dermatologist after dermatologist. The fact that it stopped the itch and mostly cleared the rash after about 2 months was diagnostic for him.  I stopped it and have remained strictly gluten-free with very few flares since that time (over 10 years ago).  So the fact that it cleared the rash was diagnostic for me.
