This won't help now...but there are apparently several companies coming out over the next few years with specialized digestive enzymes (going through FDA as they are a drug apparently) and some of them look promising for stopping a reaction if there's an accidental dose in your system. It's called Alv003 and the other one is called BL-7010. Either way, you'll want to keep an eye out for them because once they hit the market - that might be something cool to have on hand for emergencies.

I tried to find links but the most I could find were people doing things like eating broths and tons of antioxidants and even veggies. One guy suggested Charcoal tablets on one of the posts I found (that's what he does) and another person buys some sort of gluten digestion product from the health food store. No one really said they found a solution. Sucks.

Interestingly enough, this person seems to be doing all of the stuff I kept finding. She takes L-glutamine (heals guts - this is the claim - have no idea if it's accurate), probiotics, digestive enzymes and she apparently uses Charcoal tablets to reduce the gas and swelling.

P.S. No. This is not a medical journal - we're just trying to do some home remedies so if you're demanding citations...go away.

For me, Phazyme(for bloating), lots of mint tea, a heating pad on my tummy to soothe the cramps, and Nauzene chewable tabs for nausea.

I think you just have to ride it out. I was accidently glutened a few weeks ago for the first time. After a day of extreme fatigue, nausea, headache, and dizziness, it passed.

^This. I also drank some ginger tea because it was on hand. Helped a little.

nope..i just .ride that bloated train to diarrhea town and hope i get there before the skin rash kicks in :laugh:

:sad:

Mrs. Braggs (or any raw, unfiltered, unpasteurized) apple cider vinegar (prebiotics), some plain yogurt (probiotics), and water.

Pepto for the nausea/cramps/diarrhea train if it's really bad.

I've found that for me, once it starts there is no stopping it. Once the vomiting is done, it's not so bad, then ginger ale for a day or so... Yuck! :sick:

Lots of water helps, so does moving. You won't feel like it, I know, but it helps move it through your system. A celiac friend told me this and it did help. Then I eat as simply as possible the next few days.

So, do you just chug down the vinegar? (Eeew...)

I have (I even used a shot glass!), but it is kind of strong and can hurt my stomach if it's empty. Mix with some water (like, a cup of water to a few tablespoons) and chug, lol. :drinker:

I've tried NOW Foods' Gluten Digest capsules, which contain an enzyme of some sort, but I can't say for sure if they helped or not (the instructions on the bottle say to take one before eating something you think might have gluten in it, so I think it's supposed to be more of a preventative thing than a mitigation tool). I actively avoid gluten-containing foods, so the preventive enzymes seem kind of counterproductive, and I don't really have the 5-7 days to risk losing by "testing" it - but I have taken them before going to a restaurant where I was concerned about cross-contamination for one reason or another.

I get a lot of upper respiratory/sinus problems when I get glutened, so I typically take a couple of Benadryl if I can afford to be sleepy, or chlorpheniramine if I can't. I do milk or salt swishes for the canker sores and benzocaine lozenges/ointment if they get unbearable, and Tylenol for body aches and pain (I suspect that some of my sensitivity and what pushed me over the line from being asymptomatic may have been brought on by overuse of ibuprofen when I was younger). I also do the probiotic/prebiotic thing for my tummy, and it seems to help a little bit. Nothing seems to help the brain fog and overall funk, though. It would be nice if it was as simple as taking a Lactaid pill or some other sort of magical concoction, but whatever I can do to mitigate the symptoms until it's worked its way out of my system, I'm willing to try.

If you have Celiac, there isn't anything you can do. Some people say you can take enzymes if you are just gluten intolerant, but I don't know about that.

Obviously, you cant avoid all cross contamination or miss labeling, but you should be as careful as possible. Celiac is an autoimmune disease which means your body attacks itself in ways you may not be able to see. Don't think a stomach ache or hives is the only thing going on. If you do come across something that is miss labeled, I would definitely complain to the manufacture. Also, just because the ingredients may be gluten free, does not mean it is prepared in a gluten free environment- and that is frequently a big cause of reactions.

I just drink heaps of water and drink lots of electrolytes and gatorade. I find after being GF for 5 years when i do get glutened its horiffic. My symptoms are worse than ever. Before i was diagnoised i had daily diarrhea, bloating, vomitting, joint pain, skin sensitivity etc.

I don't eat anything that would turn my stomach i try to stick to plain food. It generally takes me a good 2 weeks to lose the fatigue and general unwell feeling. :-(
