I hope you're avoiding aspirin and all other NSAIDs, strong acidic

things like coffee and soda and even citric juices. Those all bother

me. Give your belly a chance to rest.

Stomach upset may be going around as well making it difficult to

distinguish why you don't feel well.

I'm not Celiac (test are all negative, it's my little guy) and my

stomach feels yucky the past couple of days, I'm hoping it's not a

pregnancy... Only time will tell with that...

I will say this, my little guy when he went GF SLEPT A LOT those first

2 weeks. I was worried he was having sugar issues, like low blood

sugar b/c he just wasn't eating (hadn't been prior to GF either). He

was falling asleep at 4PM and sleeping through the night for days in a

row. We believe he has been in pain all his life and he never has

slept well, so we believe his body was going into healing mode.

I would double check and be ultra careful that you are eating GF.

Yeah, leaving the coffee for a while isn't a bad idea.

Camomile tea is a tummy soother, straight don't mix it with anything

flavors they can make you nauseated.

Baked Potatos sound soothing to me. When my stomach is sick with

pregnancy, I want french fries of all things!!!

Cinnamon is also a tummy soother, GF bread lightly toasted with a

diary free spread adn Cinnamon is good. I say dairy free b/c often

times dairy reactions are present in Celiacs until the gut heals.

And chicken broth is also good.

Water turns my stomach when it feels yucky, and fluids are important.

Not drinking enough can actually cause pain all over!!!

Thank you. Chamomile is a good idea—I’ll

have some now and go to sleep. Did other people get really sleepy at the beginning

of gf?

I just ate plain but well cooked brown

rice and some plain yogurt. Live culture can’t hurt, though you’re

right that dairy-free might be better.

Cream of rice is an amazing food. Look for it with the hot cereals.

Why does my tummy hurt?

I’ve been hanging around this list all day while procrastinating wildly the things I need to do. Maybe you guys can help me troubleshoot this.

I’ve only been GF since Tuesday. I don’t expect any serious change yet. I’ve been very crashed/fatigued since Christmas day and have a continuing upset stomach. The fatigue I understand, but I’ve not had this kind of continuing tummy upset ever. I thought it was just post-travel upset, but it’s been almost 2 weeks now! I’ve finally stopped the coffee and anything else that doesn’t sound soothing. I think I’ll just have rice for supper.

But do you have other thoughts that might help me? I can’t actually make all that Mexican food until this is resolved.

When i was a kid and first diagnosed i practically lived on brown

rice, blueberries, and plain yogurt. None of those things ever upset

my stomach. And when I'm sick now, i like a plain baked or microwaved

potato. These foods are all really safe, really plain, and really

soothing. Chamomile tea is a good idea, and you could also try mint

tea, another soother and anti-nausea.

I always eat a baked potato with a little butter and cottage cheese - mmm.

When I first went GF I felt like I had the flu for the first week. It's pretty normal while your body gets used to being without it. Even though it's not healthy, your body reacts to the gluten. Think of people who have withdrawal from nicotine or alcohol. It will be over soon - drink lots of water and detox tea if you have it.

Ok Ok hold on. I am an aromatherapist and if you rub pure peppermint oil on your skin there is a chance your skin will fall off. This is powerful stuff.

First off go to a health food store and buy some 100% pure essential oil.You will also need a carrier oil.Grapeseed is probably the least expensive[ needs refrigeration ] but jojoba[ a liquid wax really ] or apricot seed oil will work.

After a patch test of the peppermint oil on the inner upper part of your arm- just one drop please, you can

Put about an ounce- a shot glass full of the carrier oil in a paper or glass cup.Add 2-6 drops of the oil.Take the mixture and gently rub on your tummy.Breathe deep. it does help a bit.Throw it away after use but soaking it up in a paper towel.

If you get any in your eyes, quickly use some of the carrier oil you bought or any cooking oil and put some on a cotton ball and clean your eyes. remember that oil and water don't mix so you need to clean oil with oil..

Good luck. let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you for clearing that up. I should

have responded, because I know that peppermint is a skin irritant. I drink it

in tea, but don’t let it touch my skin—very sensitive, me.

part of your arm- just one drop please, you can

Put about an ounce- a shot glass full of the carrier oil in

a paper or glass cup.Add 2-6 drops of the oil.Take the mixture and gently rub

on your tummy.Breathe deep. it does help a bit.Throw it away after use but

soaking it up in a paper towel.

If you get any in your eyes, quickly use some of the carrier

oil you bought or any cooking oil and put some on a cotton ball and clean your

eyes. remember that oil and water don't mix so you need to clean oil with oil..

Good luck. let me know if you have any questions.

If you are into essential oil stuff at all try peppermint oil rubbed

on the tummy. It is quick fix and it works

well.

Thank you for clearing that up. I should

have responded, because I know that peppermint is a skin irritant. I drink it

in tea, but don’t let it touch my skin—very sensitive, me.

Ok Ok hold on. I am an aromatherapist and if you rub pure

peppermint oil on your skin there is a chance your skin will fall off. This is

powerful stuff.

First off go to a health food store and buy some 100% pure

essential oil.You will also need a carrier oil.Grapeseed is probably the least

expensive[ needs refrigeration ] but jojoba[ a liquid wax really ] or

apricot seed oil will work.

After a patch test of the peppermint oil on the inner upper

part of your arm- just one drop please, you can

Put about an ounce- a shot glass full of the carrier oil in

a paper or glass cup.Add 2-6 drops of the oil.Take the mixture and gently rub

on your tummy.Breathe deep. it does help a bit.Throw it away after use but

soaking it up in a paper towel.

If you get any in your eyes, quickly use some of the carrier

oil you bought or any cooking oil and put some on a cotton ball and clean your

eyes. remember that oil and water don't mix so you need to clean oil with oil..

Perhaps what you have is already mixed with a carrier oil ?

Don't mislead people.

Why does my tummy hurt?

No, that isn't true. I have heard from many people and have tried it in this household. It's works and it isn't THAT strong. Yes, it is strong, but not that it's going to hurt you.Rhiannon,

I respectfully disagree. I have studied aromatherapy, in classes with various certified aromatherapists, though I am not certified myself. It is simply not safe. Peppermint and eucalyptus are some of the most powerful oils. You have to treat them with respect. I think of them as medicine which I would take following the directions exactly. When you bought your peppermint oil did it come with a fact sheet?

At the very least misusing an essential oil will leave you "sensitized" to that oil and other oils with similar chemical makeup. Becoming sensitized to an oil means that it can no longer benefit you in a medicinal way. Also, you don't want your body to think of the oil as an "invader" or foreign substance.

And, just for those who are curious peppermint is a danger to infants, and pregnant women. I would not advise peppermint for kids because many times you can use Ravensara instead. With my teens I am very, very careful with it.
