Urgent Glutening Help Please Posted by Christine (Bristol) on 8/9/2023, 20:18:30 Evening everyone. Can anyone recommend something I can take to soothe my poor sore body following a glutening episode. Haven't been glutened for so many years that it has hit me really hard. I have horrendous stomach cramps, can't even stand up straight or lie down. The pain is so bad that I haven't been able to eat anything for a few days and only a few sips of water, even that makes me vomit. Are there any over-the-counter products that people have found useful to ease the symptoms?? Many thanks for any and all advise.

Re: Urgent Glutening Help Please Posted by Louisa on 9/9/2023, 22:27:54, in reply to "Urgent Glutening Help Please" I second the ginger biscuits and tea. Aldi do a nice lemon and ginger one. I all so drink mint tea as I find this helps with my bloated and gassy tummy. I hope you feel better soon.

Re: Urgent Glutening Help Please Posted by Sue on 9/9/2023, 20:32:09, in reply to "Urgent Glutening Help Please" Sorry you are so ill. When you can eat a little bit, I find M&S ginger snaps are good to nibble along with ginger tea. Not to everyone's taste, but Itsu miso gf soup sachets are good as they are very salty and are supposed to help increase good gut bacteria. You just add hot water and so they can be sipped from a mug. When I had food poisoning and couldn't keep water down, they told me to sip just the tiniest amount at a time in tge hope it would be absorbed.

When my son went gf after his biopsy I cooked more paella than u can imagine cos he was craving it. Then saw the Chinese use it to sooth stomach issues. So it made sense!

Re: Urgent Glutening Help Please Posted by Mike on 8/9/2023, 23:18:03, in reply to "Urgent Glutening Help Please" Sorry to hear you are unwell. My go to is a lot of water or any fluid you can handle to flush me out. Does not agree with everyone but it works for me.

Re: Urgent Glutening Help Please Posted by Sheena on 9/9/2023, 9:30:42, in reply to "Re: Urgent Glutening Help Please" Hi Christine you sound so poorly. Im with Mike just drink plenty of water or maybe get that hydrating stuff from the chemist as it has lots of minerals that you are loosing just now.

Re: Urgent Glutening Help Please Posted by Christine (Bristol) on 9/9/2023, 13:14:58, in reply to "Re: Urgent Glutening Help Please" Thank you Mike and Sheena for your replies, they were much appreciated. I managed to get a couple of hours sleep last night and this morning have taken on quite a bit of water so hopefully am over the worst bit. Have also sent my husband out to get some hydrating sachets. Thanks again for your advice.

Re: Urgent Glutening Help Please Posted by Bill D on 10/9/2023, 22:21:58, in reply to "Re: Urgent Glutening Help Please" On the medication line my go to used to be Collis Brownes mixture, an age old remedy which calmed my stomach down quickly. However it went off the market a few years ago and then came back but has disappeared again. I always keep a pack of Immodium handy now. Downside they can cause constipation for a couple of days. Hey Ho, the life of a Coeliac. Bill D.
