resting! The brain fog and exhaustion I feel when glutened are absurd. I’ve learned that the best thing I can do for myself is rest and do all I can to not get upset over how tired I am.
knowing that this too will pass. I have not found a way to lessen the effects of an accidental gluten exposure. If I suspect that I have been “glutened” I try to eat only foods that I know should not be cross contaminated (e.g. eggs, rice, bananas, etc.) or are certified gluten free. I have discovered (or suspected) that even foods that say gluten free on the label or should be gluten free must have been cross contaminated because of the effects they have had on me.

Absolutely! These help me too! Thanks for sharing, Cathy!
things that help me when I get glutted are…laying down in a dimly lite room with a cold compress on my head and my legs elevated for any stomach issues.
Laying down helps me too! Thanks for sharing, Brenda!
