How Long Does It Taken To Recover From An Accidental Glutening

Had something that had no ingredients of gluten BUT ALSO didn't claim to be gluten free, in the past I have found it OK

but this time it made sick, very strange but I can tell by my bowl movements whether I have been glutended or not

 

IF YOU have been fairly gluten free how long does it take the body to recover?

Hi UC,

 

One study showed there were still abnormalities in some celiac patients guts after 18 months gluten-free.

I have noticed that you ask a question and never come back to it. Why?

And I am wondering....if you " hate everyone", why are you asking us questions? Are we not part of " everyone"?

Not sure why I am asking you to answer as you don't respond. Silly me!

Nah! She didn't. There seems to be a glitch in the system it appears. Need computer miracle workers to fix it.

It is true that this guy seems to post questions and never come back to the thread to comment, answer questions or thank people.

Well that is a good questions how long does it take?  Does it get worse each time, etc.

 

I do appreciate your answers, I am an eager pupil, it seems the only way to get through this is to ask questions and learn and maybe I will end up healthier than ever in my life.

 

No Gluten

No Dairy

No Alcohol

No Caffeine

No vices left  I have to be healthier before long.

Thanks for the post will take that with a grain of salt personally I have achieved normal blood levels from 3 months gluten free.

      This isn't the first potential celiac disease treatment in the pipeline that failed. There have been others...

      First of all, being able to return to foods that you have developed a sensitivity to in connection with celiac disease is not a given. You may or may not be able to do this with time. But the ability to do so seems to be connected with the healing of the villous lining of the small bowel which often takes 2-3 years in adults after attaining to consistently truly gluten free diet. But you will just have to test the waters. Experimentation with those foods is the only way. Realize also there are thresholds of tolerance. You may be able to consume those foods without issue but not as often and in lesser amounts than in your pre celiac days. So, start small and go slow.

      Welcome to the forum, @Waterdance! Constipation and diarrhea are classic celiac symptoms and hemorrhoids is usually the outworking of either or both of those two problems. But I'm curious about your statement, "I probably don't fit the diagnostic criteria for a diagnosis of Celiac Disease." Perhaps your understanding of what that encompasses is outdated and deficient, as is also true of many physicians. Actually, now there are over 200 symptoms and medical conditions that have come to be associated with celiac disease and the list keeps growing.  And you use the term "gluten intolerance". What does that mean to you? Actually, gluten intolerance is a catch all term referring to two different gluten disorders: celiac disease and NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). Celiac Disease is an autoimmune disorder characterized by ingested gluten triggering the immune system to attack the lining of the small bowel. NCGA or just, gluten sensitivity, for short, is a reaction to gluten that is not autoimmune in nature (neither is it an allergic reaction per se) but it's symptoms overlap with that of celiac disease. We actually don't know a lot about NCGS yet but some experts believe it can be a precursor to celiac disease and it is 10x more common that celiac disease.  There are some blood antibody tests that are pretty specific to celiac disease but they require that you have been eating normal amounts of gluten for weeks/months prior the blood draw. Having the blood draw done while being gluten free or even having been on a reduced gluten diet will invalidate the testing. There was a recent article posted in this forum about testing being developed that did not require breaking a gluten fast but it is not available yet. When and if it is, that will be a giant breakthrough because so many people experiment with the gluten free diet before they ever get tested and can't safely utilize the "gluten challenge" because their reactions are too severe. So, they can't distinguish whether they have NCGS or celiac disease and must live with the ambiquity.  There are also some people who react negatively to all cereal grains. You may be one of them. Technically speaking, gluten is found only in wheat, barley rye, and some cultivars of oats. But all cereal grains contain proteins that more or less are similar to gluten and, apparently, similar enough to cause a gluten-like reaction in some people.  Have you experimented with non-cereal alternative grains like buck wheat or sorghum? Can you substitute potatoes for grains to get calories? Have you looked into SIBO (Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth)/histamine intolerance? This could also explain the problems you are having. You are not going to want to hear this because you will feel like you are starving but the Auto Immune Protocol Diet will probably make you feel a lot better.

      Hello everyone.  For those of you that I’ve had a sensitivity develop to eggs and dairy (one or both) I am wondering for those who were able to go back to eating these things how did you discover that it was all right? I have a sensitivity to both, but I really miss eggs and I really miss dairy but I’m afraid to try them again so I’m wondering what others have done. Thank you
