Am I Being Glutened?

Hi,

I have been on the gluten-free diet since Feb 1st. I have been trying to make sure my food and all of my beauty products don't have gluten in them but I don't really feel any different, I feel the same as I did before the diet. Does it take this long for some of you to adjust? I can't think of what I would accidentally be eating. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Jennifer

Hi Jennifer!

Depending on how much damage is done inside your intestines strongly affects how long it will take you to recover. Some people (lucky them!) see an improvement almost immediately, some take up to a year. There have been reports that some people take a full two years to recover. Everyone is different. Be patient, it will happen. As long as you are being true to the diet, it will all fall into place.....

Hugs!

If you're not sure if you are being gluten-free, post one day's food menu here, complete with brand name of product and ask if these products are safe. Two heads are better than one!

Also, be sure that you are not letting gluten-containing foods touch your foods. Are you using your own special toaster? Do you have your own butter that nobody else touches? Just some things to think about

Best of luck

I would say that the average time for people to feel better on the gluten-free diet is about 3-4 months. I personally noticed an improvement after 6 months and I felt almost 100% better after 1 year.

You also might want to give up dairy, that can be hard for a lot of us to process - esp. in the beginning. Try keeping a food log (detailed with everything you eat, including medicines and with what your symptoms are). Feel better soon!

      Welcome to the forum, @brian weinstein! Gluten is a protein found in wheat barley and rye kernels. Pectin is a polysaccharide (a very complex sugar) found in the cell walls of fruits and vegetables. It is most commonly used as a thickening agent in food products, particularly jellies. So, pectin is naturally gluten free. That is not to the same as saying the cigar is gluten free.  Personally, I am reluctant to text you. I think most of us would feel the same way. Too many people already have access to our cell phone numbers.

      The test result will never be shown as zero because the most negative the result can be reported as is less than the lowest amount the test can detect.  For example, you might see <2. What is the normal range for your daughter’s test?  Antibodies can hang around in the body for a while. Even if her result is not yet in the normal range, going from more than 100 to 9 in a few months is great! Good job, mom.
