What was your recovery like?

[Quen]

I see tons of posts on here and questions asking "how long..." it took people to recover, but I'm more curious about what your recovery was like. Was it up and down? Which symptoms went away first? Which ones stuck around longer? Did you have to take probiotics? Vitamins? Did you have leaky gut or other issues that needed to be tackled? Did you get worse before better and, if so, for how long? Which symptoms worsened? Did other things like hormones, stress, etc. have an impact on your recovery? Give me your details! As someone who is only four weeks gluten free and still having a rough time, I'd love to see some "long haul" comments instead of the "I felt better in three days!" ones.

I will admin that it's hard to recall all the details, but at the time of my diagnosis I have flattened villi, major diarrhea, had lost weight, had helicobacter pryori, and had leaky gut. I had additional temporary food intolerance issues to diary, chicken eggs, tomatoes, garlic among other things.

The lower right pain in my gut started feeling better within the first two weeks, as did the diarrhea. Most of the other issues I had went away much more slowly, and took around two years to resolve. It took even longer for a couple of the foods, like chicken eggs, before I could eat them again.
