Recovering From A Glutening

Well, I think I got glutened today. My husband cooked chicken in the cast iron pan. I was going to say something, but I didn't want to make him feel bad because he has been struggling with all my restrictions as it is. The only other things I had were corn and a baked potato with butter. Needless to say, I would like to speed the gluten through my system as fast as possible. What do you do after you have been glutened? Is there anything that helps the reaction go away faster or help the symptoms?

I can't find anything that works but time.

I drink water but do not eat until symptoms are gone.

Others eat and drink until they feel better.

Some take Pepto Bismol and say it helps.

Peppermint tea or tea of any kind is recommended by some.

None of it helps me.

I hope you get well fast.

I know how miserable it is.

I hope you get some better answers.

Antihistamine and tonic water both help reduce the symptoms.

I have found nothing that works. I also try not to eat anything until feeling better. I'll have to try the antihistamine thing should I get glutened again.

A product called D-Hist has become my friend as of late. It is a natural supplement and something your adrenal glands make to reduce inflammation in the body. I've used it for my last few glutenings and while it isn't a magic bullet it has helped significantly. I now carry it everywhere I go.

Pop one an hour for 6-8 hours after exposure. The sooner you can get it into your system after a glutening the better.

Thanks for all the good things to try. I guess it will work a little differently with each person. I don't feel as bad today. I'm still in a lot of pain, but I no longer feel like throwing up so that's progress :P I talked with my husband about the cast iron pan and he remembered that the last thing he cooked in it was breaded fish. I learned my lesson about keeping quiet when I really should say something. Normally the nausea and pain last for about 3 days, but this reaction doesn't seem as strong as I get when I actually consume food that has gluten rather than CC.

What kind of antihistimine do you normally take that is gluten-free? At the moment, I'm having enough trouble keeping my food gluten-free :rolleyes:

      Biopsy results - second opinion?

      By ellyelly · Posted

      Thanks so much for the link and for your thoughts! I have been on a gluten - containing diet and ramped up my intake in the couple of weeks leading up to the endoscopy, so I’m hopeful that the biopsy is painting an accurate picture.    I don’t quite understand what else might be causing the lymphocytosis and the inflammatory cells/ clusters of plasma cells and struggled to get clarity from the specialist. Perhaps this is common and nothing to be concerned about?!   In case relevant, my mother sister are both celiac, and I have the genes: HLA-DQA1*05:01 = Heterozygous HLA-DQB1*02:01 = Heterozygous Thanks again!

      Biopsy results - second opinion?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @ellyelly! How much gluten were you eating in the weeks prior to the endoscopy?  Many people with indeterminate results had cut down or eliminated gluten from their diet beforehand.  This can lower the autoimmune response and decrease the symptoms (lower antibody levels,  reduced inflammation and intestinal damage may heal).   If you weren't eating a sufficient amount of gluten per day in a minimum of two weeks prior to the endoscopy, you may want to do another gluten challenge with repeat endoscopy. Here's an article that explains, be sure to read the comments.

      Biopsy results - second opinion?

      By ellyelly · Posted

      Hi all, Such valuable insights shared here - I am so grateful to be able to read along! Thank you all for sharing your wisdom.  I (37yo female) have recently had an endoscopy to screen for celiac given a strong family history and extremely low Ferritin for the past 7 years (not responsive to oral supplements). I am awaiting celiac blood panel results (completed post-endoscopy to provide another piece of the puzzle, I think was just an accidental oversight not doing earlier).  The endoscopy results are as follows: Gastroscopy:  Stomach: Mild gastritis and one 4mm benign appearing inflammatory polyp in the body.  Duodenum: Largely normal but few shallow erosions seen in the duodenal bulb. Microscopy:  1. Sections show specialised and non-specialised gastric mucosa with increased numbers of chronic inflammatory cells within the lamina propria including occasional clusters of plasma cells amounting to mild chronic inflammation. No active inflammation, intestinal metaplasia, dysplasia or malignancy is seen. Immunostains for Helicobacter organisms are negative. 2. Sections show small bowel mucosa with normal villous architecture. A mild non-specific intra-epithelial lymphocytosis is noted at the villous tips of uncertain clinical significance. The lamina propria contains a normal population of chronic inflammatory cells. No granulomas or parasites are seen. There is no dysplasia or malignancy. Conclusion 1. Gastric: Mild chronic inflammation 2. Duodemum: Mild non-specific intraepithelial lymphocytosis with preserved villous architecture.  The GI specialist, assuming blood tests come back normal, feels it is unlikely that it is celiac given the normal villous architecture. Suggested continuing on as usual and monitoring for symptoms etc, screening with blood test if required in the future.  Worth a second opinion or does this seem accurate? Anything else I should be considering? I feel a little lost as to how to best proceed! Thanks again.

      @TerryinCO, Are you taking a B Complex in addition to your B12?  B 12 needs the other B vitamins to function correctly.  Celiac disease and the damage to the intestines makes absorbing vitamins and minerals difficult.  Talk to your doctor and nutritionist about supplementing while you're healing.   Are you on any medication for your Gerd?  Here is often caused by too little production of digestive juices.  Supplementing with a B Complex will help.

      OTC pain reliever that are gluten-free and corn free??

      By trsprecker · Posted

      I definitely try to get those in my diet.  There is most likely a genetic component to the issues.  Thank you so much for the advice!!
