hey y'all, I'm new to the wheat-free/ celiac tribes and don't know how much overlap there is. I'm posting something here i posted in another, because I'm really hoping someone has an answer for me.
I'm glutten-intollerent. Not tested but it is so consistant that it's obvious. If i have even a little bit of glutten, the next day I'm bloated, gassy, diarrhea, coated tongue, and out of it. I've been so good.
Well, yesterday I got some sushi. I had my own tamari, but I didn't think to ask about the sauce on the spicy salmon rolls. Today I'm paying for it. these episodes can last 3 days for me and I have stuff to do. I'm traveling. I popped some glutten-enzymes, but I doubt that will help at this stage of the game.
Any advice on what to do now that I'm experiencing problems? I have a date tonight and I think i'm going to have to miss it.

Re: now that I accidently ate wheat... what can i do?
Thu, November 15, 2007 - 2:01 PMthere isn't much that I've heard of.
for myself, I just try and eat well immediately after--usually a big meal with animal protein and nothing else unhealthy (alcohol/sugar)

Thu, November 15, 2007 - 8:36 PMmy dr told me to take Immodium to treat the symptoms if you are having gi problems....but read the box for side effects etc of course. Just if you do drink plenty of H20 or you will end up constipated and hurting from that...
Not anything you really can do. ) :

Re: now that I accidently ate wheat... what can i do?
Sat, November 17, 2007 - 11:01 AMthis a big question for me. i''d been thinking of posting it. my baby daughter consistently gets little bits of gluten foods from other kids. the constipation, stomach ache, and general misery last about a week. other than lots of warm baths, i can't figure out anything that really makes her feel better. -

Re: now that I accidently ate wheat... what can i do?
Mon, November 26, 2007 - 8:25 PMOne thing that really has helped me is lots of protein after accidentally getting some gluten. I'm a vegetarian, and don't normally go in for nutritional powders, drinks, etc... but I bought some brown rice protein powder on the advice of a friend and it is really helpful. I make a smoothy with it or if desperate, stir up a spoonful in some juice (although I don't think a child would appreciate that!). Apparently it takes a lot of protein to rebuild the damaged intestinal lining - and when it's damaged, it has trouble digesting protein. I've heard that you can also make protein balls by mixing it up with nut butter and maybe some puffed rice and brown rice syrup, honey or maple syrup. The small people might like that. -

Sat, December 8, 2007 - 4:31 PMI always keep a colon cleanse handy as well as aloe vera juice, flaxseed meal and chlorella tablets. I got the colon cleanse kit from whole foods. I can't recall the brand name, but it has a "morning cleanse" and "evening cleanse" bottles. I know that I don't feel good or normal until I get the wheat out of my body and this stuff really works within two days.
I have a couple of teaspoons of flaxseed meal (Bob's red mill brand) in aloe vera juice. Flax seed is for fiber, so you can get your system moving again and the aloe vera juice helps with healing internally.
Chlorella tablets are the most complete food; they have all the proteins AND they help rid your body of toxins.
Last, I take some olive leaf extract that I got at GNC. I read somewhere that olive leaf extract takes away inflammation in the joints. The article I read said that they believe arthritis may be caused by the toxins from food allergies settling in the joints. The olive leaf extract really helps my joints feel better. -

Sun, December 9, 2007 - 10:55 AMI forgot to mention that if you've never done a colon cleanse before, you should do one. For me, it's like starting with a clean slate. I felt so much better after I got all the gunk out of my system.

Re: now that I accidently ate wheat... what can i do?
Mon, January 14, 2008 - 2:51 PMSorry to hear about your bad luck, especially in what I take to be a Japanese restaurant, where I would have thought that you'd be relatively safe. Very little wheat starch shows up in Japanese sauce making. Perhaps your sensitivity is so acute that the left over residue on a pot that was used to cook noodles made you sick when the same pot was used to cook the fish? If so, then while by now, your issue is past tense, you have to expect that it's going to recur.
What I find works, very specifically, is red meat - very rare and lots of it. Plus clear beef broth, and don't go lightly on the salt. -

Re: now that I accidently ate wheat... what can i do?
Mon, January 14, 2008 - 6:00 PMit was pretty straight-forward: soy-sauce in the roll. it was a wheat-based soy-sauce... like all the soy sauce at most japanese restaurants...
thanks for your advice -

Mon, January 14, 2008 - 6:01 PMalso, it's was sushi: there was no "cooked fish" -

Re: now that I accidently ate wheat... what can i do?
Mon, January 14, 2008 - 6:49 PMSigh. Jordan, not all sushi is made with raw seafood, contrary to popular opinion, and soy is seldom incorporated directly into sushi itself, being present in the unthickened dipping sauce served on the side, and as you indicated that you brought your own tamari (implying that you shunned the house sauce) - a wheatfree seasoning - the tamari can't have been to blame, leaving us to wonder what could have been. But thank you for making me regret having bothered trying to determine the physiological roots of your probably psychosomatic difficulties with your barely concealed condescension and unintentionally excellent illustration of the well known truth that "a little knowledge is a dangerous thing".

Re: now that I accidently ate wheat... what can i do?
Wed, January 16, 2008 - 11:33 PMthat was weird. because I wasn't trying to be condescending... what are you talking about?
i called them. they said "yes, we put wheat-based soy sauce in the 'spicy salmon roll'"
why are you throwing out all that "probably psychosomatic" stuff?
before you wrote this message, did you stop to think that maybe I was responding to what you wrote and trying to fill you in rather then be "condenscending?"

Mon, January 14, 2008 - 10:03 PM> ....there was no "cooked fish"
by chance were there any that had the faux-crab meat in them? Even in some of the rolls you don't think they're in, places will often use minced up scraps of faux-crab as filler. I've learned to stay completely away from any sushi that isn't made with whole foods.
