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. 😟

      Working in a kitchen with gluten?

      By PixieSticks · Posted

      Hi yes! I was diagnosed 10 years ago through a biopsy. I’ve been gluten free ever since but no one I’m around is gluten free. I sometimes wore a surgical mask in the kitchen. but I believe particles were still getting through. I’ll definitely look into n95 instead. thanks for the reply.

      Ya I used to react to iodine, but it doesn't bother me anymore after strict adherence to a gluten-free diet for many years now. I am happy to report that for the first time ever in my life, a probiotic formula is not making me break out, but actually seems to be helping. The strains in this formula have been specifically tested to help with skin issues. It is gluten and dairy free also.

      Feeling ill

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Whyz, I take a combination of Thiamin (Benfotiamin), B12 Cobalamine and Pyridoxine B6 for my pain and headaches.  Really works well without hurting the digestive tract.  Riboflavin B2 also helps with migraines.  Most newly diagnosed people have vitamin and mineral deficiencies.  Check with your doctor and nutritionist.   If you follow the updated gluten challenge guidelines, you can wait until two weeks (minimum) before your appointment, then eat lots of gluten, like six slices of gluten containing bread or "name your poison".   Here's the Updated Gluten Challenge Guidelines: Recommended intake of gluten should be increased to 10 grams of gluten per day for at least two weeks. Or longer. While three grams of gluten will begin the immune response, ten grams of gluten is needed to get antibody levels up to where they can be measured in antibody tests and changes can be seen in the small intestine.   Keep in mind that there are different amounts of gluten in different kinds of bread and gluten containing foods.  Pizza crust and breads that are thick and chewy contain more gluten than things like cake and cookies.   References: https://www.beyondceliac.org/celiac-disease/the-gluten-challenge/ And... Evaluating Responses to Gluten Challenge: A Randomized, Double-Blind, 2-Dose Gluten Challenge Trial https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7878429/?report=reader  "In our study, limited changes in Vh:celiac disease (villi height vs crypt depth - aka damage to the small intestine)  following 14-day challenge with 3 g of gluten were observed, in accordance with Sarna et al.  While the 3 g dose was sufficient to initiate an immune response, as detected by several biomarkers such as IL-2, the 10 g dose was required for enteropathy within the study time frame. Based on our data, we would suggest that gluten challenge should be conducted over longer durations and/or using doses of gluten of ≥ 3 g/day to ensure sufficient histological change can be induced." Keep us posted on your progress!

      Advantages vs. Disadvantages of having an official Celiac diagnosis

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I don't believe that existing life insurance policies require such notifications--health checks are typically done before such policies are obtained. I believe it would primarily affect any new policy you get, and perhaps any policy renewal.

      You could go gluten-free now, and then start eating lots of gluten for at least 2 weeks before your endoscopy--just be sure to tell your doctor about this beforehand. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet, it is further evidence of celiac disease and/or non-celiac gluten sensitivity.  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.
