Guest guest Posted July 7, 2010 Report Share Posted July 7, 2010 We have found digestive enzymes to help. Those that are specific for dairy/gluten are also helpful when dining out to a restaurant with a GF menu but one just wants to be extra sure there is no risk of cross contamination. The ones we have found effective are by Theramedix (GCF). Theramedix also has a digestive enzyme (DSF) we take at each meal which has made a big difference in Shana’s appetite and ability to digest her food. You can find them on Amazon. From: [mailto: ] On Behalf Of Pam Newbury Sent: Tuesday, July 06, 2010 11:20 AM Subject: [ ] Use of emetics in gluten poisioning The act of sticking something in your throat could damage throat tissues. You could damage or rupture the lining of the stomach or esophagus or rupture blood vessels in the eyes. Stomach acid can burn the lining of the esophagus. Stomach acid can damage your teeth and digestive enzymes can disrupt the necessary bacteria in your mouth. You could aspirate the vomit and cause damage to the lungs or suffocate. Stomach acid can damage the skin and nails on your hand. Some of these effects can occur with only occasional vomiting and some after repeated vomiting. I would suggest asking your doctor to get more information on the effects of occasional vomiting and the pros and cons of gluten exposure versus occasional vomiting.

(Other than, of course, that it is an unpleasant experience, your eyes water, and your throat is a little sore for a half an hour). _,___ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 I told my GI doctor (Dr Aron) about what has become known as the " Waffle Incident " and he prescribed Entcort EC capsules for an accidental glutenizing. He says if I realize i ate gluten then split open the capsule and swallow the little capsule pellets with a big glass of water as soon as possible (or sooner). Webresearch shows its a corticosteriod that is usually for daily use for crohn's disease and should always be taken whole. (?) i have not had occasion to use it yet, but i keep it in my purse just in case. http://www.rxlist.com/entocort-drug.htm http://ibdcrohns.about.com/cs/prescriptiondrugs/a/entocortfaq.htm I've been thinking though, in the past if i accidentally get mildly glutenized i feel will sick/tired/queasy/yucky for 2 or 3 or 4 weeks. my only major glutenization (GF 2 years so far) i was violently sick and miserable for a day and a half, but felt ok after that. so if i take this prescription, then will i still feel ill for weeks because the gluten still gets in my system? Is it better to vomit it all out (on purpose or " naturally " because my body rejects it) and feel better faster? what a conundrum. i hope i dont have to make that decision any time soon. glutenizing, glutenized, glutenization, glutenizalifragilisticexpialidocious are my favorite words for gluten poisoning. feel free to use them! /april > > We have found digestive enzymes to help.
