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.

      My 5 months of Struggle

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Art Maltman! Ask your physician to order serum antibody tests specifically designed to detect celiac disease. That's the place to start but you shouldn't be on a gluten free diet some weeks before the blood draw. You certainly have some symptoms that are characteristic of celiac disease and you have a first degree relative that has celiac disease. So, I think this would be an appropriate request to bring to your physician. Here is an article outlining the various serum antibody tests that can be ordered when checking for celiac disease:   The physician may not be open to ordering a full panel but push for at least these two: total IGA and tTG-IGA. By the way, absence of gut pain is very common in the celiac population. We call them "silent" celiacs as they have no or very minor symptoms. There are over 200 symptoms and spinoff health issues that have become associated with celiac disease and the range of symptoms and effects produced by the disease in different individuals various tremendously.

      About 5 Months ago I got a little bit sick and since then I have been having trouble focusing, rembering, thinking thought through, having pressure on my head and even just talking to friends normaly has become a challange. I also have been having yellowish poops. My father was has celiac but I am not sure if thats what is causeing my problems becasue I dont have any abdomnial pain like him. i have also tried going gluten free for a week with no results, but maybe i just need to try for longer. I have gone to doctors but they haven't had really any ideas as to whats wrong with me they just say it could be anything and try this drug maybe it will work. I really am tired of feeling terrible all the time and if any one knows if these symptoms are common to celiac or has any other ideas whats wrong with me please let me know.
