How long does gluten take to leave your system?

I have been gluten free for almost a week now and I have felt so much better. Unfortunately, I ordered a gluten free pizza from Dominoes and I know it was a risk but I took it anyway. BIG mistake 😐 I had the pizza on Monday afternoon and at 2.30am Tuesday morning I was woken by a severe headache, which morphed into a migraine, and then some of the symptoms, stomach pain, bloating, nausea. It's now Thursday and I still feel awful, will it get better soon? Today I just feel exhausted and have lower back pain along with the belly pain and nausea 

Thanks to anyone who read :)

It takes me about 3 weeks to recover.  Sometimes the pain is so horrible I need medication to control the pain during that time.  It is like the worst flu you have ever had....for 3 weeks.

Yes, the forum community is discovering that not all that claims to be gluten free is actually gluten free, at least not for the more sensitive segment of our community. And it might not be the pizza itself that is the issue but the definite possibility that the staff a Dominos used the same utensils when cooking, handling and cutting your order that they did on the wheat crust pizzas they were also handling. They may have even cooked it on the same rack and in the same oven.

I am often told that the food arrives at a restaurant gluten free but that they will not guarantee it is by the time it is presented at the table.  I only eat in upscale restaurants where I have had the privilege to speak with the chef before arriving.

Remember, this is a silent killing disease.   Do not be fooled.

Cook all your meals at home. It is too risky to eat supposed gluten free meals in a restaurant. Most restaurants have no clue at all about cross contamination, and the need to have a dedicated area with equipment and utensils specific for cooking gluten free. Nothing is more important than your health and feeling vibrant and healthy.

I second that~!

When in doubt, do without.   

I often take my own food to restaurants dedicating the the meal to match as close as I can to the restaurant.  

Remember, the server will be cleaning up your place setting and providing beverage so........LEAVE A GENEROUS TIP~!~!~!

I tried to order a Dominos gluten-free pizza from their App, and a pop up window tells you that although the dough is gluten free, the pizza is not considered gluten-free because they don’t follow gluten regulations, no separate preparing & cooking areas, lot’s of cross contamination possible.

I bailed on their pizza!  Surprisingly ‘Fatty’s Pizza’ does have gluten-free pizzas, and the owner said they are very careful to not have cross contamination with a separate prep area, and the simple act of changing gloves.  I didn’t seem to get ‘Glutened’, just a bellyache from eating to much.  Oh, and Dominos only has Small sized gluten-free pizza, Fatty’s has Large sized.

Another thing, when are the gluten-free Oreo’s coming out?

The gluten free Oreos have been out for months but may not be carried by grocers in your area.

Gluten free Oreos are out in my area. Unfortunately, they contain oat flour. So I can't eat them. 😟

      Migraines can be caused by Thiamine deficiency.  Thiamine is a B vitamin that becomes depleted quickly because it can't be stored long.  All the  B vitamins work together to make energy, ATP, which is used to fuel all the cell activity.  Without Thiamine, the energy production cycle doesn't even get started.   There's studies done on mice showing thiamine deficiency affects the offspring of thiamine deficient mothers and fathers.  The offspring have fewer thiamine receptors and are prone to becoming thiamine insufficient quickly.  They have a higher metabolic need for thiamine.  Supplementing with extra thiamine helped them  tremendously. Migraines have run in my family for several generations, too.  Once I started taking TTFD, a form of thiamine that can enter cells without using thiamine transporters, my migraines have vanished.  TTFD is tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide. Benfotiamine is another form that can improve migraine frequency, too. Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  There is no upper limit because thiamine has never caused a death even in high doses.  It is excreted via kidneys if not needed or not absorbed.

      Lymphocytic Colitis with Celiac

      Thank you, @Oldturdle, I greatly appreciate that.  I've always been a curious kitty.  I wanted to figure out why I didn't feel well because I knew it wasn't all in my head like they told me.  It pleases me to be able to help others in the same boat. Yes, alcohol prevents the absorption of thiamine and stops thiamine from working properly.  This can lead to Wernicke's Encephalopathy and Korsakoff syndrome, where thiamine deficiency severely affects brain function.  Doctors are trained to look for the triad of symptoms: opthalmoplegia (nystagmus), ataxia, and altered mental state.  However, not all people present with all three symptoms.  Many (80%) don't get diagnosed until their autopsy.   Alcohol has to be processed through the liver.  If there's insufficient thiamine, Alcoholic Fatty Liver develops.  In thiamine insufficiency, calories are turned into fat and stored in the liver instead of being turned into fuel ATP for the body.  Alcohol also prevents absorption of calories from food and other nutrients.   Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver can develop in nonalcoholics, storing excess calories as fat in the liver.  However, excess calories can also be turned into fat and stored in the abdomen, hence the increase in obesity.   In Celiac disease, we don't absorb sufficient nutrients like thiamine from our food.  If we eat a diet high in carbohydrates, we can run out of vitamins like thiamine and the other Bs needed to turn those calories into fuel ATP.  For every extra thousand calories of carbohydrates consumed, our bodies require 500 to 1000 mg of additional thiamine to process them into fuel, ATP,  the "bitcoin" of energy in our bodies.   Wernicke's encephalopathy can occur in non-alcoholic people, but doctors can miss the symptoms because the patient doesn't drink, and doesn't have all three symptoms of the classic Triad of symptoms seen in Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome.  My doctors failed to diagnose me with thiamine deficiency, Wernicke's Encephalopathy,  because I didn't drink alcohol, although I had ataxia and an altered mental state.   Doctors don't think outside the box!   I went home and took thiamine.  I had improvement in my symptoms within an hour.  High doses of thiamine are required to correct Thiamine deficiency.  Thank God I had studied nutrition, microbiology, and the research of Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  ("Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition" is Drs. Lonsdale and Marrs' book.).  And I've kept learning and sharing that knowledge to help others.   It's wonderful you've been supplementing with vitamins so long!  Don't worry about the bright yellow urine.  That's excess Riboflavin B 2.  Interesting note, Riboflavin glows under black light!  Those lights used to detect where pets have soiled outside of the box, that's the Riboflavin in urine glowing.  Riboflavin can be put in sugar syrup when making rock candy and it will glow under black light.  Fun for Halloween. I hope you feel better, @Oldturdle.  If I can be of further help anytime, you can send a personal message here.  Thanks for reading my posts.  P.S. Thiamine deficiency and Wernicke's Encephalopathy are completely reversible if treated promptly with high dose Thiamine.

      Migraines ran in my family, on my father's side.  All of my female first cousins on that side, and our grandmother suffered from Migraines.  Grandmother died in 1984 so we do not know if she ever would have been diagnosed with celiac disease. However, all 4 of us cousins were diagnosed with celiac disease between 2003 and 2007.  The dermatitis herpetiformis rash is a blistery, super itchy rash.  When they do the biopsy they take it from non-involved skin that is next to the rash.  If done wrong, the results may not be accurate.  Have you ever had one done? In that case, I agree that maybe she has you still on gluten for a biopsy.  But, if she has not ordered it nor referred you to a gastroenterologist, then I would question her advice.
