I Know This Has Been Asked A Million Times, But...

how long does it really seem to take to get over when you've accidentally had gluten? I had some on accident about a week ago. It was Wyler's bouillon and from the label I think it was because it's produced on the same machines that wheat products are. At first the reaction didn't seem too bad and I cycled through the neuro. symptoms very quickly so I thought it wouldn't be so bad.

It's been about 10 days and I'm still not feeling right. It's not super bad just low energy and I don't feel like doing anything. Right before this I had not had any "accidents" and was finally feeling better than I had in years so this makes it particularly difficult. I guess I know the answer, but it would help to know other people have reactions that last this long too. Sometimes I feel like I'm nuts for thinking feeling like this is from something that happened 10 days ago!

I can tell that mentally I'm just not back to normal yet. My reactions are slower than what they should be and my head just feels weird still. I guess one plus would be that this is the first time I've accidentally had gluten where I've been able to trace it back and know for sure. The symptoms match up with all the other times I thought I may have had gluten so I guess at least now I know all those other times I was right...

Everyone is different. Some, like me, it only takes a few hours or a few days to recover. Others it can take up to about a month to recover fully. I think some it may take even longer. Hopefully your reaction is almost over.

Everyone's reactions are different. It's not at all unusual for it to last 10 days. Mine take 2-3 weeks to feel completely normal again.

Mine take two to three weeks as well. The worst and most obvious symptoms are over in a few days, but after that it takes the three weeks or so before I'm my usual perky self.

Well, im on day 5 of an accidental glutening...still havent figured out the source....

Im glad (well, not really ;) ) to read that glutenings can last over 3 days. Usually i am better by now. I thought that was the magic number. This time is just really bad.

I hope u feel better soon!

In the beginning my time was 2 days as time goes on the reactions are getting stronger and longer up to a week and a half. Hang in there.

Thank you so much to everyone that replied. I seem to finally be over it thank goodness. It looks like this one lasted 2 weeks. Now I have to catch up on cleaning the house, laundry, bills etc. Seems like when this happens I just go into "survival mode". Hmmm, and people wonder why we're so careful when it comes to gluten...

Sometimes it just helps to hear I'm not the only one that takes so long to recover. I just have no energy during it and feel so "lazy" that it gets frustrating!

      You may be reacting to some of the ingredients used to imitate gluten products. I eat Amy's Chilli quite often with no problems. When I eat Bush's chilli beans or Hormel Chilli with the same ingredient list, I get heartburn.  Break out the alka seltzer.   Barillo spaghetti has CORN FLOUR, RICE FLOUR, MONO AND DIGLYCERIDES. Udi's White bread Ingredients - water, tapioca starch, brown rice flour, canola oil, dried egg whites, sugar, tapioca maltodextrin, tapioca syrup, sorghum flour, less than 2% of: rice starch, sorghum grain, flaxseed meal,  gum blend (xanthan gum, sodium alginate, guar gum), apple cider vinegar, apple fiber, molasses, salt, amaranth flour, teff flour, yeast, cultured brown rice, locust bean gum, enzymes Chobani Greek Yogurt Cultured nonfat milk, cane sugar, water, natural flavors, fruit pectin, guar gum, locust bean gum, vanilla extract, lemon juice concentrate.

      Endoscopy

      By Soleihey · Posted

      My TTG was 167 one year ago. Recently had it retested one month ago and it went down to 16. I only recently had an endoscopy done as I was pregnant within the last year. I did not eat gluten prior to this endoscopy as I get very sick. Prior to obtaining the biopsies, the endoscopy said “ diffuse moderately erythematous mucosa to the second part of the duodenum without bleeding.” However, the biopsy came back negative. I assume it’s a false negative as I have also had genetic testing to confirm celiac. However, what would cause the inflammation to the second part of the duodenum and continued positive blood markers if the intestines have healed?

      Thank you for direction.  Eating out is a concern though we rarely do, but I'm prepared now.

      Celiac or not?

      By cristiana · Posted

      Thank you for the update.  So interesting to know how things are changing, when I was diagnosed I had very similar blood results but still had to have the endoscopy.  Glad you know where you stand.  As your father has celiac disease you probably already know a lot about it, but do contact us if we can help further.
