Just Had Gluten...

Just had gluten,

when will my symptoms go away?

(have headache, distended belly, and feel VERY fatigued and sad)

Everybody is different--my reactions usually last 5 days. Hopefully you will feel better MUCH sooner!

My reactions usually last a good 2 weeks....but reaction times vary. Hope you feel better soon.

I get sad, too. And not just because I know I had gluten, it's just part of my reaction. I have had reactions last about a week, sometimes longer, sometimes shorter. Lots of water is good for you. I have recently discovered when I'm feeling acutely depressed (gluten, hormones, whatever) that if I take 2 Source Naturals sublingual Vitamin B6 tablets and put them under my tongue, my mood lifts, sometimes in just a few minutes. They are my new favorite coping strategy. I have not noticed this reaction with the kind you swallow.

I'm sorry you got glutened and I hope it doesn't last too long.

Take care

I've only had one accident in over six months of being on the gluten-free diet, but symptoms were severe for seven days

My symptoms last from 5 to 21 days. I've also found that vitamin B (I take a complex so I don't know which one does the trick) helps with my mood and with the brain fog.

My husband gets bone and joint pain when he gets gluten which takes about two weeks from onset to go away. Digestion is faster for him; it settles down in just a few days.

My daughter has never had trouble with the bone and joint pain, but she gets depressed worse than dear hubby. For us the magical B vitamin is B12 sublingual to lift the sadness. It works within 5 to 30 minutes of taking it.
