RE: Ate a hot dog roll. Oh no

[Guest guest]

I find if I drink a lot of water, put a heating pad on my stomach, and do a lot of walking for three days after getting glutened helps me the most. I have been GF for only two years and have been glutened four times in the two years, each time was dramatically less intense. I hope his symptoms are mild!On Jul 4, 2010, at 7:45 PM, karen mcdonald wrote:Hello all,I have a question. My son (10 yr ) just ate a hot dog on a non gluten free roll he thought it was a gf roll.

I know it doesn’t help for this time

around, but what I’ve found works best under circumstances like this is

to (as gross as it sounds) force yourself (or, I guess in this case, him) to

throw up until his stomach is empty, the moment you realize it happened.

From what I have read, 70% of your

digestion happens in the first 30 minutes. So if you can get to it in the

first few minutes (assuming you realize it within 20-30 minutes), throwing up

most of what he ate WILL lessen the symptoms. This has worked for me in

the past.

Bear in mind though, the stomach needs to

be EMPTIED. Completely. Fingers and their nails can be hard on the

back of the throat, so the handle of a spoon or bread life can be useful.

I know it is not the most pleasant way to

handle this, but it has kept me from having major symptoms. I know within

10 minutes, and I know it HARD, and for DAYS (weeks, technically, on a low

level, but the real brutal stuff last for about three days for me). Last

time I unthinkingly ate a bite of my son’s chicken, then realized it was

breaded, I used this technique, and I was (for the most part) fine the next day. A little run

down, a little achy, but none of the can’t-be-more-than-20-feet-from-a-bathroom-clutching-at-my-stomach

kind of symptoms.

Also, I recall someone on the list

mentioning Bromelain - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bromelain

- as a way of coping with the glutenenings. Make sure you get the high

powered stuff. I have used it for other inflammations, but not for this

yet

Good luck, and I hope his symptoms aren’t

too bad…

Subject: [ ] Ate a hot

dog roll. Oh no

Hello

all,

I have a question. My son (10 yr ) just ate a hot dog on a non gluten free roll

he thought it was a gf roll. He usually ends up with pain about 5 amwhen he

eats something we didn't know was gf.

Is there anything I can give him to counter act his gluten roll. I feel so bad

for him just knowing what he is in for.

He is so careful but he thought the rolls were gf

Thank you so much
