How Long To Recover After Screwing Up?

[annofthejungle]

My son has been gluten free for about 2 months. Yesterday I accidently gave him his brother's noodles instead of his gluten free pasta. He ate a whole plate of spaghetti noodles before I realized my mistake. Today the liquid diarrhea started and tonight we've already had to wake him up once to change his sheets and give him a bath.

How long before the diarrhea stops?!!!!!

It does vary quite a lot from person to person, but many seem to feel better in about a week or so. Some in as little as two days. Some have symptoms for over a month, though that's appears to be far less common.

Try cooking him some chicken soup with carrots & cabbage, nothing else. Plain homemade chicken broth is also good. I keep some homemade chicken & chicken broth in the freezer...

100% welch's grape juice diluted with water - keep the liquids going...

expect the neurological stuff to kick in after the diarrhea stops...

What neurological stuff?!!!!!!! Now I'm scared.

oh so sorry did not mean to scare you. neurological is just shorthand for things like headaches, temper tantrums, emotional meltdowns, crying spells, anger, maybe some ADHD, problem sleeping, brain foggy stuff, things like that.

People have come to accept that if you give kids sugar, they will be bouncing off the walls. with gluten - usually you will get one or more of the above- but not always - your child might have their own special reaction!!
