How long can symptoms last

[Vincent pemberton]

I’ve had most of my symptoms go away and I’ve avoided a gluten as far as I know but it’s been four days since I’ve last had gluten. I’ve been struggling with gas and abdominal pain and occasionally light headed and nausea. It’s gotten better and sometimes I feel fine but now it’s back like a wave all at once. On top of all this when I was eating gluten regularly I’ve been sick and hospitalized several times but now it is feeling even worse and am worried about doing the gluten challenge after going to the doctor.

I am now starting to feel better, just dealing with gas. I drank some apple cider vinegar and that helped, along with gas relief meds. I’ve cut back on milk, and soda, is there anything else I need to be weary of.

It sounds like you’re going through a tough time with these lingering symptoms, but it's good to hear you’re starting to feel better. Digestive issues like gas and abdominal pain can sometimes persist even after cutting out gluten, especially if your gut is still healing. You’re doing great by avoiding milk and soda, as they can sometimes aggravate symptoms. Other things to watch out for might include high-fiber foods, certain fruits (like apples and pears), and artificial sweeteners, as they can also cause gas. Staying hydrated, eating smaller meals, and incorporating gut-friendly foods like bone broth and probiotics might help too. The gluten challenge can be rough, so make sure to communicate your concerns with your doctor. Wishing you continued improvement!
