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.

      Celiac, Fructose and Lactose

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Have you tried sheep's milk and goat's milk cheeses? After my diagnosis I could not tolerate cow's milk for ~2 years until my villi healed, but for some reason I did not have issues with sheep milk or goat milk cheeses.  I also had temporary issues with chicken eggs, but could eat duck eggs.

      Waiting on Blood test results…

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is not a test for celiac disease, but your total IgA levels. This test is usually done with other celiac disease blood tests to make sure the results are accurate. Did they do a tTg-IgA test as well? Were you eating lots of gluten in the 6-8 weeks leading up to your blood tests? This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.

      Test results came back for everything that was tested now. Cholesterol is off the charts high. Not sure if that’s related to celiac, I have no idea how it could be so high. Also tested positive for H pylori  infection… is there a link to celiac and H pylori? Or am I just experiencing symptoms of the H pylori infection?

      I’m reading that some sites list a high Immunoglobulin A result for my age above 300, another site says above 356, and other sites are saying above 400. I don’t know what to make of this result 🤷‍♂️

      Need Advice on Doctors

      You got some bum steers my friend. I have little confidence that you can trust your test results as differentiating between NCGS and celiac disease. And I think you would be much more likely to have gotten that note you need if you had been diagnosed with celiac disease. But believe me, I understand the predicament you are in with regard to the risks of repeating the gluten challenge. We have heard this story many times on this forum. People experiment with the gluten free diet before getting an official diagnosis and then cannot tolerate the gluten challenge later on when they seek an official diagnosis.
