I've eaten gluten on accident. I already feel it starting.

I read in a book on celiac that taking metamucil can help get it out of your system faster. Is this true? If that's the case would taking the anti-diarrhea have the opposite effect?

I do not want to up all night sick!

Please help!

I have nothing for you since I don't get GI issues at all. The only thing I've heard is that lots of water helps, but I don't think it'll stop the inevitable reaction. :( So sorry!

Some people say charcoal tablets help, available without an rx. Same with probiotics and digestive enzymes.

Why was I so stupid?

I used an open jar of mayo at my parents' house to make noodle salad. Stupid! I didn't even think about it. I thought I was being so careful.

I feel like an idiot.

I've sent my husband out for metamucil and culturelle. It can't hurt me to try.

Don't feel stupid. I recently put THREE slices of Udi's bread (and you KNOW how expensive that is!) into the toaster when my DH asked me, "What are you doing?" And, I'm like, "Toasting my bread." DUH! And he's like, "um, shouldn't you be using the other toaster?"

I had to throw them out. Freakin' A!! Had it not been for him, I would have glutened myself. I've reached to finish off my daughter's dinner only to realize that we used the glutened butter to her plate. Luckily, I realized it BEFORE I put it in my mouth, but NOT before mixing it all with my own dinner. It's just too easy to make such mistakes.

Hopefully, it's not enough to make you terribly ill.

      Chapstick, gum, cough drops, medications...HELP!

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, Brianne03! It is relatively easy, as you have discovered, to identify gluten-free products when considering only intentional ingredients but it can be much more difficult or impossible to get definitive answers about cross contamination. Does your daughter fall into the supersensitive category of celiacs? That is, does she have definite reactions to very small amounts of gluten exposure? If not, you might do well to just focus on listed ingredients and not worry too much about CC (cross contamination). In the things you list, gum and cough drops are probably the biggest concern. Most chewing gums have wheat starch in them. But some don't. My practice is to include the terms "gluten free" in my Amazon searches for those kinds of products. As to medications, this might be helpful but CC can not be ruled out with generic drugs:  http://www.glutenfreedrugs.com/list.htm

      Chapstick, gum, cough drops, medications...HELP!

      By Brianne03 · Posted

      Our 17 year old daughter was recently diagnosed with Celiac and we haven't had any real education from her doctor yet; we are waiting for an upcoming appointment, so I've been trying to navigate and educate myself on my own. There are multiple products my daughter uses, such as medications, cough drops, chapstick, gum, etc. that do not contain gluten containing ingredients, but the manufacturers have not labeled the items gluten-free due to processing in a place that might pose a risk of cross contact or maybe not wanting to pay to test their products. How do we safely handle this? Is it a matter of comfortability or reaction?

      Neurological/Nervous System Symptoms

      By Jordan Carlson · Posted

      Hello, I’ve been gluten free for over a year now. I now know and understand that I have been celiac my whole life and my body has been battling without me knowing. Wondering if this has happened to anyone else after diagnosis but I feel like my immune is system is stuck fighting. My mouth is always tingling, I always see stars in my vision, my heart is always pounding, I am always shakey, I get super warm at times. I also cant get rid of this frequent urination either. I definitely notice improvements since going gluten free but its like my body does not have enough power itself to push through this stage. I have an appointment with my doctor this Thursday. But I am wondering if anyone else has experienced symptoms like this and if there is any cause for concern that my nervous system is damaged.
