Recovery after accidentally consuming gluten

I have celiac for the last 30 yrs and have been on a gluten free diet. I accidentally consumed a wheat roll at lunch  today. Suffered  from nausea, vomiting and dysentery a couple of hours after consuming gluten.  It is 9 hours later now. Nausea and vomiting has stopped, but still have dysentery. How long will it take to recover? Any comments by those who may have suffered a similar situation will be welcome.

Welcome to the forum, SKS76!

Recovery time from a "got glutened" experience is as individual as is the nature of the reaction itself. When I consume a substantial amount of gluten as you did, I get the same reaction as you: nausea followed by diarrhea but with each faze lasting about 3 hours. As the old saying goes, "this too shall pass," but I can't say how long that will take.

May I ask, how did you "accidentally" consume a wheat roll? Were both gluten and gluten free rolls available in the same area and they looked a lot alike?

Yes, it was totally my fault. They were in the same area and normally, I am very careful, but some how I got careless and did not read the ingredients. Did not discover the ingredients of the roll until 7 pm.  Ate the roll at 2 pm, felt nauseous at 4pm and vomited 6 times and had dysentery 6-8 times until 10. Just ate some rice, yogurt and psyllium husk. No more nausea. Hoping for the best.

Thanks for your post.

I am sick with chills about 2 hours after consuming a significant amount of gluten.  Upset stomach for a few days afterwards.

A mild glutening results in a sore stomach for days afterwards, and I get this with a major glutening too. 

I risked a small amount of "may contain gluten" chocolate after Christmas rather foolishly and I am suffering with gastritis type symptoms a week later.   Serves me right.  I really ought to know better.

Hope you feel better soon.

      I would ask for a total IGA test (aka, Immunoglobulin A (IgA) and other names as well) to check for IGA deficiency. That test should always be ordered along with the TTG IGA. If someone is IGA deficient, their individual celiac IGA test scores will be artificially low which can result in false negatives. Make sure you are eating generous amounts of gluten leading up to any testing or diagnostic procedure for celiac disease to ensure validity of the results. 10g of gluten daily for a period of at least 2 weeks is what current guidelines are recommending. That's the amount of gluten found in about 4-6 slices of wheat bread.

      There was not a total IGA test done, those were the only two ordered. I would say I was consuming a normal amount of gluten, I am not a huge bread or baked goods eater

      Were you consuming generous amounts of gluten in the weeks leading up to the blood draw for the antibody testing? And was there a Total IGA test done to test for IGA deficiency?

      Thank you for the reply. It was the TTG IGA that was within normal limits

      Welcome to the forum, @jlp1999! Which IGA test do you refer to as being normal? TTG-IGA? Total IGA? DGP-IGA? Yes, any positive on an IGA or an IGG test can be due to something other than celiac disease and this is especially true of weak positives. Villous atrophy can also be cause by other things besides celiac disease such as some medications, parasitic infections and even some foods (especially dairy from an intolerance to the dairy protein casein). But the likelihood of that being the case is much less than it being caused by celiac disease.
