Gluten Sensitivity Recovery Timeline?

Greetings all,

I’ve recently learned that I may have some level of gluten sensitivity.  I got my blood tested a few weeks ago to and it ruled out Celiac disease.  However, I still have a ton side effects (both mental and gastrointestinal) that I’m told can be helped by going on a gluten free diet.  
 

With this info, I wonder about how long I should expect until I have relief from the mental symptoms (for me mainly depression, fatigue, brain fog and anhedonia).  I’ve been trying to treat my depression, which mainly surfaces as anhedonia (inability to feel interest or any positive emotion) for 5+ years, with nothing really helping.  Some of the testimonials I’ve seen online about people having their long depressions be fixed by going gluten-free makes me believe that a gluten intolerance may be the cause of my suffering.  
I guess what I’m asking is how long was it until you saw relief from you gluten caused symptoms.  Primarily I’d like to hear from other who are Gluten sensitive and have had mental health (but will listen to everyone) issues in the past that were fixed from removing gluten from your diet.  
Thank you.

Here is an older thread that might help.

It's different  for everyone, it can be a month or maybe a year. Most probably within a few months. This is assuming the symptoms are in fact related to gluten, which they may not be.

      thank you, i have been doing that the last few weeks and will continue to do so. I had not had my ttg iga checked since I was diagnosed 14 yrs ago so I am not sure if they ever dropped below the 15-20 range.    all my other labs are completely normal but I am concerned that this may be signs of refractor celiac or something else since I'm so careful with gluten-free diet

      Around 9% of celiacs cannot tolerate any oats, even gluten-free oats. It might be worth eliminating them for a few months, then get re-tested.

      I only eat certifed gluten-free products but a lot of which are processed. Could there be trace gluten in those or is that very unlikely?

      For people with celiac disease hidden gluten in their diets is the main cause of elevated Tissue Transglutaminase IgA Antibodies (tTG-IgA), but there are other conditions, including cow's milk/casein intolerance, that can also cause this, and here is an article about the other possible causes (you may want to avoid oats):
