Antibodies after being glutened!

[Aussienae]

Hi all

Random question, how long would celiac antibodies take to return to normal after a glutening incident?

After going gluten-free orginally it took me about 6 months for my antibodies to be zero. Would the same thing happen with a accidental gluten consumption? Or would it be faster as it was a one off? 

Thanks 😊

The rate of decline (which is calculated as a “half-life”) will be the same so if the antibody level after glutening is lower than your original level when diagnosed it will take less time to get back down to normal.

I agree, a one time incident should not trigger prolonged high antibodies, but repeated low exposure could.

Thanks for your replies.

Im a year in and was feeling better but all of a sudden my symptoms are back.....

Its been 4 weeks so decided to get my antibodies checked. They are normal. So not sure if its a gluten thing or not

What symptoms are you having? 

What do you include in your diet? 

Do you keep a food journal?

I believe you that you're gluten free. 

But, what are you eating?  

Do you eat nuts?  Legumes (aka beans)?  Citrus fruit?  Snails?

Processed gluten free facsimile foods?   Lollipops?

Daisies? 😸

Have you eliminated dairy products from your diet?

Do you eat lots of spinach? Peanuts? Soy?

These are foods high in oxalates, which form kidney stones.

Passing a kidney stone can cause pain in the lower abdomen, back, and groin.

If your symptoms sound similar, perhaps it's worth a call to the doctor.

I eat dairy but not with lactose. I dont eat spinach or peanuts, some soy though

This pain is the same pain that lead to my diagnoses feb 22. After 6 months gluten free, it eased and eventually went away. Now its back. 

Ive been to the doctor and the hospital. They said all seems fine, except my crp levels are slightly high (which has always been the case for me)

Im so sick of being in pain
