2 Separate Glutenings - Recovery Timeline?

Hi,

I had a lot of alcohol last week. And I believe I was glutened on Monday (10/28) and Wednesday (10/30). I was drunk most of the time during this period - so it must’ve been a delayed reaction. When I stopped Thursday (10/31), I noticed the gut pain and it has gotten worse. Even today (11/3), I’m having celiac symptoms.

My friend had made turkey and potatoes. He said it was gluten-free, I was too drunk to ask more questions. Come to find out, he used great value garlic and onion powder which “may contain traces of wheat and soy.”

Usually, a single glutening takes me about 6 days to recover. Do you guys think it will take longer since it was 2 separate days out of 3 or about the same?

It sounds like you’re really going through it—accidental gluten exposure can definitely take a toll, and when it happens twice close together, it can feel like it drags on even longer. Many people find that each glutening is a bit unpredictable in terms of recovery, and it could take a little extra time if your body hasn’t fully cleared out the first exposure before the second one hit. Staying hydrated, avoiding other potential irritants (like alcohol and spicy foods), and resting can help ease the symptoms as your gut heals. Hopefully, things start to settle soon! In the meantime, it could be helpful to communicate with friends about specific brands to look out for, even when it’s hard to ask in the moment. Hang in there—hope you’re feeling much better soon!

      How many grams is there in one slice of wheat bread?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In case your tests turn out negative you may still want to try a gluten-free diet. Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      Thank you for your answer. Well, I'm going to eat at least 5 slices a day, each of them is 35 grams. I think I'll do blood tests again after four weeks. If the results are negative or not clear, I'll continue the challenge and repeat blood tests again after another four weeks.

      Antibodies went up

      You are correct in looking closer at her diet, as there may still be trace amounts of gluten, even from a gluten-free bakery (are their ingredient suppliers certified gluten-free?). You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/  For people with celiac disease hidden gluten in their diets is the main cause of elevated Tissue Transglutaminase IgA Antibodies (tTG-IgA), but there are other conditions, including cow's milk/casein intolerance, that can also cause this, and here is an article about the other possible causes:

      Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Ski trip with Celiac son - preparation advice please

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      You're doing an amazing job planning ahead for your son's first ski trip with celiac disease! It’s great that the hotel and organization are supportive, which makes a big difference. For dinners, consider simple gluten-free meals like pre-cooked rice or quinoa bowls with a protein (like grilled chicken or turkey slices) and steamed or roasted vegetables. These can be prepped at home, frozen, and reheated safely at the hotel. Gluten-free pasta with a simple tomato or cheese sauce is also a kid-friendly option that travels well. As for snacks, packing things like gluten-free crackers, cheese sticks, fruit, or granola bars will help ensure he has safe options throughout the day. It’s also wise to carry some single-serve condiments or seasonings he likes to make meals more appealing. Regarding accidental gluten intake, reactions vary from person to person. Some children experience immediate symptoms like stomach pain or diarrhea, while others might not react until hours later. It’s a good idea to carry supplies like wet wipes, an extra change of clothes, and medication if prescribed by your doctor. You might also want to brief the ski instructors about his condition and what to look for in case of exposure. With careful planning and preparation, you’ll set him up for a fun and safe experience. Enjoy your trip!
