Celiac Awareness Month: 7 Effective Home Remedies To Try If You Accidentally Consume Gluten

While many Indians are blessed to have chapattis known as their main ingredient in meals, some of us are restricted to do so by our own bodies. Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition, in which the specific protein called gluten is present in many whole grains, such as wheat, rye, and barley, etc. triggers an immune reaction. Bloating, diarrhea, fatigue, etc. are common symptoms associated with this condition. The best way to stay away from gluten is to follow a strict gluten-free diet. However, if you happen to munch on gluten unknowingly, don’t rush away straight to the hospital unless it’s abrasive. Most of the symptoms can be treated at home. Let’s dive in

• Blow off steam: – If you have accidentally eaten gluten containing products, you need to relax your mind as much as you can. The more you stay calm, the better. Try to come out of your overwrought character and convince your mind that it’s all right.
• Hydrate, hydrate, and hydrate: – Here’s a catch, drinking enough water not only will prevent you from dehydration but it will remove those extra toxins from your body. A squeeze of lemon in your drink may also help. Lemon is alkalizing and can assist you in reestablishing your body’s natural PH balance.
• Have your backup: – A digestive enzyme supplement may give some relief from the symptoms of gluten sensitivity. This is due to the fact that digestive enzyme supplements can flood our bodies with more enzymes, allowing us to better break down and absorb the food we ingest. Ask your health care professional before buying any digestive enzyme.
• Be friends with your gut’s best friend: – No other nutrient will love your gut as much as probiotics will. Make your gut young and active by providing it with beneficial probiotics. Interestingly, 80% of your immune system is in your gut and thus you want to take care of it as much as possible.
• Experiment with activated charcoal: – Studies have shown that activated charcoal is frequently used in the treatment of poisonings or drug overdoses. These noxious compounds attach to the charcoal and help the body eliminate the poisons. However, more conclusive evidence is needed to support this, but there is no harm to try out something new.
• Trust your tea: – Green tea has also been claimed to be beneficial by many people. Peppermint tea is claimed to soothe muscles and help with gassy stomach troubles. In a pinch, strong gluten-free peppermints can suffice.
• Grow: – Learn from your disasters and try not to repeat them ever. Reading nutrition labels, carrying digestive enzymes, packing an extra water bottle, declaring about your condition to chefs, etc. are some of the things you can do to make your life more fluid.
