Do symptoms of being glutened change depending on how much you have ingested?

I have celiac disease and have been gluten free for 3 years. I have been glutened from time to time by what i have assumed was cross contamination but a few days ago i accidentally ate some cookies that were made with real flour (it was a brand that i have had before that is gluten free but this flavor was not). A few hours after eating the cookies i was violently ill, vomiting and everything. This has never happened to me before. My usual "glutened" symptoms are exhaustion, anxiety, brain fog, ect. These usually last a full 3 days. After throwing up after eating the gluten cookies i didnt feel great but i didnt feel my usual symptoms. Is this normal? Is this because i got the gluten out before it could cause the other symptoms?  Has anyone had similar experiences depending on how much glutened was consumed? Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated!

In my experience, celiac disease is like a chameleon.  Symptoms can vary.  It can be very frustrating.  I have questioned it and actually have gone in for an antibodies check to confirm whether or not gluten has been the culprit (it was).    I also found that a glutening (in my case) can set off a chain of other autoimmune events that can last for months.  

I hope  you feel better soon!

It changes and the amount and form seems to cause different levels of symptoms.....back in 2016 June, last time I ate something with actual straight wheat in it. I reacted so violently, withing 30mins I felt first symptoms and knew it was going to be bad, I no sooner made it in my door then my legs gave on me and I collapsed in my door way body unresponsive just motor control loss (gluten ataxia), not sure on the time frames but I was vomiting there on the floor, for hours in and out of it, so bad I had blood in my vomit I assume from capillaries busting with how hard I was heaving. I had a friend who checked on me, my pulse dropping in to the 30s and apparently I turned white and looked like I was not breathing a few times. I have not had a reaction that bad with CC or stuff confirmed since to have small amounts of wheat....

Back in December I got some hemp protein....I was eating it for a week and started having stumbling issues, fog, dropping things, constipation then diarrhea hit.......nima tested the protein as positive sent it to a lab to figure out it was like 16ppm....slow ramping effects....took me over a month for cow pies to stop.
Then come up this week...I got some coconut chips gluten free on the back ....fight I got a tightening under my neck in the lymp nodes....something was up....nima tested positive and found in shared facilities in small print under ingredients....I had luckily been given some of that Gliden X stuff and downed one....I only had mild vomiting and one batch of diarrhea....it was like over the next day...NO noticeable motor control issues.  So I guess it helps with getting over exposure faster.

As Cycling lady says the disease is a chameleon

Thank you both for your response! This disease can be so brutal thats for sure. Everytime i get glutened i question my own sanity because it is always because of cross contamination and there is something about not having a solid answer as to where the gluten came from that can have you second guessing yourself and your symptoms, and for me, when i am in a glutened frame of mind i am extra hard on myself and feel so guilty for being sick that i often question myself and if it really is gluten or if it is all in my head. Its awful. It is gluten and that is clear after my mind is back to normal but it is a rough couple of days.  Anyway, thats why it was so weird this time that i was throwing up but didnt have all of the mental symptoms i usually get. Just when you think you've got it all under control, it comes at you harder than ever! Another lesson learned i guess :)

      They both do.  The peanuts add nutrients to the treat. Tootsie Roll: Sugar, Corn Syrup, Palm Oil, Condensed Skim Milk, Cocoa, Whey, Soy Lecithin, Artificial and Natural Flavors. M&M Peanut: milk chocolate (sugar, chocolate, skim milk, cocoa butter, lactose, milkfat, peanuts, soy lecithin, salt, natural flavor), peanuts, sugar, cornstarch; less than 1% of: palm oil, corn syrup, dextrin, colors (includes blue 2 lake, blue 1 lake, red 40, yellow 6 lake, yellow 5, yellow 6, blue 1, yelskim milk contains caseinlow 5 lake, blue 2, red 40 lake), carnauba wax, gum acacia. glycemic index of Tootsie Rolls ~83 gycemic index of M&M Peanuts ~33   The composition of non-fat solids of skim milk is: 52.15% lactose, 38.71% protein (31.18% casein, 7.53% whey protein), 1.08% fat, and 8.06% ash.   https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/9781118810279.ch04  Milkfat carries the fat soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K. The solids-not-fat portion [of milk] consists of protein (primarily casein and lactalbumin), carbohydrates (primarily lactose), and minerals (including calcium and phosphorus). https://ansc.umd.edu/sites/ansc.umd.edu/files/files/documents/Extension/Milk-Definitions.pdf

      But M&M's contain milk, and would not be at all like a Tootsie Roll.

      I appreciate you validating me because medical is an issue and it's not ok at all they they do this. Some days I just want to call the news media and just call out these doctors especially when they are supposed to be specialist Downplaying when gluten-free when they should know gluten-free is false negative. Now dealing with other issues and still crickets for disability because I show no signs of celiac BECAUSE IM GLUTENFREE! Actively dealing with sibo and skin issues.Depression is the key because thats all they know, im depressed because medical has caused it because of my celiac and related issues. I should have never ever been employed as a bus driver.After 3 years still healing and ZERO income desperately trying to get better but no careteam for celiac other than stay away frim wheat! Now im having care because my head is affected either ms or meningioma in go in tomorrow again for more scans.I know im slowly dying and im looking like a disability chaser

      M&M Peanuts. About the same calories and sugar while M&M Peanuts have fiber, potassium, iron and protein that Tootsie Rolls ("We are currently producing more than 50 million Tootsie Rolls each day.") don't. Click the links to compare nutritional values.  Both are made with sugar, not high fructose corn syrup.  I use them as a gluten free substitute for a peanut butter sandwich.  Try her on grass fed, pasture fed milk. While I get heartburn at night from commercial dairy milk, I do not from 'grassmilk'.

      I see it everyday on my feeds.  They go out and buy gluten-free processed products and wonder why they can't heal their guts.  I don't think they take it as a serious immune disease. They pick up things off the internet which is so far out in left field.  Some days I would just like to scream.  So much better when we had support groups and being able to teach them properly. I just had an EMA blood test because I haven't had one since my Doctor moved away.  Got test results today, doctor ordered a D3 vitamin test.  Now you know what  type of doctors we have.  Now I will have to pay for this test because she just tested my D3 end of December, and still have no idea about my EMA.
