Help! Need Diarrhea Relief

I'm going on day 4 of diarrhea. Yesterday it seemed to be getting a bit better, but not anymore. I may have eaten something wrong to cause this, but I'm not sure. I've taken the questionable foods out of my diet, taken out milk for now (except for some greek yogurt with active cultures) and spent yesterday eating rice, veggies, rice Chex and banana. I have not taken Immodium because I may be pregnant. During my first pregnancy I had diarrhea and my midwife said I couldn't take anything. I've had to switch to a new clinic now and called there yesterday and a midwife said I can take Immodium, but when I google it online it makes me nervous to take it. Any ideas to get rid of this without taking medicine?

Sorry that you are having a rough time of it! I hope you feel better soon.

I would dump the rice chex. They are not made on dedicated equipment or a dedicated facility. Other than that, Google the BRAT diet.

If diarrhea just won't stop, I find it helpful to go on clear fluids for a day to let everything settle down. Broth, Jello, sugared soda for calories, and Pedialyte to help replenish your electrolytes are all good. I am usually able to add back white rice and applesauce the next day and maybe a little stewed chicken in the evening. I have to stay away from fibrous veggies until everything has settled back down.

Gluten-free Rice Chex are not made in a dedicated facility, but they ARE made on dedicated equipment.

Here is an old post. Nothing has changed.

You should call your OB/GYN if it continues in the morning. Tell them you may be preggers and ask what to do. They will know what is safe for you to take.

      For people with celiac disease and corn intolerance from it: Is salt still okay for most people?

      By Ryangf · Posted

      I haven’t had any noticeable reactions to salt so I will continue using it. I think I just freaked out when I realized this but it doesn’t cause me any discomfort- so thanks!

      Abscesses on legs

      By plumbago · Posted

      Ok, thanks. I'm so glad to hear you are in the hands of a dermatologist. I hope he/she has given you 1) a diagnosis; and 2) a plan of care with a couple of options so that you have buy-in and comfort with it. I have some ideas, but not having seen the abscesses or you in person, it doesn't really make sense for me to kind of ... speculate further. But your question was regarding gluten, and you've gotten a couple of other follow up questions and answers that are good, including the idea to keep a food diary. Let us know if we can help further or answer any other questions. I'm sorry you're going through this, it sounds very painful.

      Abscesses on legs

      By LookingForAnswers101 · Posted

      @plumbago They appear as boils. They are big, like the size of a nickel--quarter, and they hurt when I touch them. I have gone to the same derm for them over and over and she thinks my body is colonized by a bacteria, but even after using hibiclens all over my body they come back.

      Abscesses on legs

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome to the gluten-free community! It’s great to have you here. While gluten sensitivity or celiac disease can indeed cause skin issues, such as dermatitis herpetiformis (a blistering rash), abscesses in areas like the lower buttocks or thighs are less commonly linked directly to gluten. However, chronic abscesses could be a sign of an underlying immune or inflammatory condition, which might be worth discussing with a healthcare professional. Some people with gluten-related disorders also experience secondary issues like bacterial overgrowth or immune dysregulation, which could potentially contribute to recurrent infections. It’s always a good idea to explore all possible causes, including gluten sensitivity, with your doctor. In the meantime, keeping a food and symptom diary might help identify any patterns. Wishing you the best on your health journey!

      You say you have gluten sensitivity? Have you been officially diagnosed with celiac disease or do you refer to NCGS?
