Recovery after accidentally consuming gluten

I have celiac for the last 30 yrs and have been on a gluten free diet. I accidentally consumed a wheat roll at lunch  today. Suffered  from nausea, vomiting and dysentery a couple of hours after consuming gluten.  It is 9 hours later now. Nausea and vomiting has stopped, but still have dysentery. How long will it take to recover? Any comments by those who may have suffered a similar situation will be welcome.

Welcome to the forum, SKS76!

Recovery time from a "got glutened" experience is as individual as is the nature of the reaction itself. When I consume a substantial amount of gluten as you did, I get the same reaction as you: nausea followed by diarrhea but with each faze lasting about 3 hours. As the old saying goes, "this too shall pass," but I can't say how long that will take.

May I ask, how did you "accidentally" consume a wheat roll? Were both gluten and gluten free rolls available in the same area and they looked a lot alike?

Yes, it was totally my fault. They were in the same area and normally, I am very careful, but some how I got careless and did not read the ingredients. Did not discover the ingredients of the roll until 7 pm.  Ate the roll at 2 pm, felt nauseous at 4pm and vomited 6 times and had dysentery 6-8 times until 10. Just ate some rice, yogurt and psyllium husk. No more nausea. Hoping for the best.

Thanks for your post.

I am sick with chills about 2 hours after consuming a significant amount of gluten.  Upset stomach for a few days afterwards.

A mild glutening results in a sore stomach for days afterwards, and I get this with a major glutening too. 

I risked a small amount of "may contain gluten" chocolate after Christmas rather foolishly and I am suffering with gastritis type symptoms a week later.   Serves me right.  I really ought to know better.

Hope you feel better soon.

      Gluten challenge and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis

      By Zuma888 · Posted

      I didn't ask a doctor about this actually. I did ask several doctors a long time ago and they told me gluten has nothing to do with hashimoto's. One of them told me to do a gluten challenge to test for celiac, but at the time I was in graduate school so couldn't afford to be even more ill than I was. If you have the symptoms, I really don't advise you to do a gluten challenge. It messed me up mentally and physically for months. At the same time, I benefitted from doing the challenge in the sense that it convinced me that all my symptoms were truly from gluten - even stuff like insomnia! So now I am terrified to eat gluten, whereas before I would have a little once in a while and not notice anything dramatic.

      I am in a similar situation where I can't feasibly do a gluten challenge but have all the symptoms and I have 2 celiac genes. I'm curious if your doctor advised you to eat as if you had a diagnosis or if they were more dismissive about it.

      Negative, although I had most of the symptoms of celiac disease. I now eat as if I had a diagnosis.

      Natural remedies

      While it's always important to approach internal use of essential oils with caution and ideally under the guidance of a qualified professional, your experience highlights the potential of complementary approaches when traditional medicine falls short. Many in the community are also interested in the intersection of natural wellness and gluten-free living, particularly for managing systemic inflammation and its various symptoms, so sharing your story is valuable. Your observation that it may also be helping with bloating is fascinating, as that could point to an overall reduction in inflammation. Thank you for sharing what is working for you!
