How Fast Do You Feel Like Normal Again After Getting Glutened?

It seems to take me a long time to get back to normal some times after getting glutened. I feel tired and muscle weak long after the pain and neasuea has gone away.

Is it just me or does it sometimes feel slow geting back to normal for you guys?

I even feel I can almost get a bit of a fever. :(

Is it just me being weird that way? Worries me.

I feel pretty good the next day, but I'm still tired, unmotivated and cranky for a few days afterward. I love it when I get a long string of days where I don't get glutened because I'm really energetic and motivated.

Sometimes I get a reaction on my hands, which takes about three weeks to heal.

I've heard people here talk about not feeling back to normal for a few weeks.

I think it's just different for everyone.

You're definitely not alone, it can take up to two weeks to feel 'normal' again.

I feel about 90% two weeks after a glutening, but completely normal only after three weeks or so. :(

It seems to usually take a couple of weeks for me to get back on track. Each mistake makes me that more careful for next time!

On average, it takes 6-8 weeks for the body to recover and heal after an exposure to a small amount of gluten.

Thanks for the link and replies!

I have had two times now when it just take so long time to get ack on track. Other times it takes a couple of days.

I am wondering if the factr that I haven't been gluten free for that long and I have been really sick for 4 years before I started on this...well that either my body gets a virus at the same time...or my body is slow and tired at cathing up.

I dunno. It freaks me out some.

Oh well. One day at the time.

      NCGS does not cause damage to the small bowel villi so, if indeed you were not skimping on gluten when you had the antibody blood testing done, it is likely you have celiac disease.
    • Scott Adams
      I will assume you did the gluten challenge properly and were eating a lot of gluten daily for 6-8 weeks before your test, but if not, that could be the issue. You can still have celiac disease with negative blood test results, although it's not as common:  Clinical and genetic profile of patients with seronegative coeliac disease: the natural history and response to gluten-free diet: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5606118/  Seronegative Celiac Disease - A Challenging Case: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9441776/  Enteropathies with villous atrophy but negative coeliac serology in adults: current issues: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34764141/  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.

      I'm very confused... My blood test came out negative, I checked all antibodies. I suppose my Total IgA levels are normal (132 mg/dl), so the test should be reliable. Still, I'm not relieved as I can't tolerate even a single biscuit. I need to talk to my doctor about whether a duodenal biopsy is necessary. But it is really possible to have intestinal damage despite having a seronegative results? I have really strong symptoms, and I don't want to keep skipping university lectures or being bedridden at home.
    • Scott Adams
      They may want to also eliminate other possible causes for your symptoms/issues and are doing additional tests.  Here is info about blood tests for celiac disease--if positive an endoscopy where biopsies of your intestinal villi are taken to confirm is the typical follow up.    
    • Scott Adams
      In the Europe the new protocol for making a celiac disease diagnosis in children is if their tTg-IgA (tissue transglutaminase IgA) levels are 10 times or above the positive level for celiac disease--and you are above that level. According to the latest research, if the blood test results are at certain high levels that range between 5-10 times the reference range for a positive celiac disease diagnosis, it may not be necessary to confirm the results using an endoscopy/biopsy: Blood Test Alone Can Diagnose Celiac Disease in Most Children and Adults TGA-IgA at or Above Five Times Normal Limit in Kids Indicates Celiac Disease in Nearly All Cases No More Biopsies to Diagnose Celiac Disease in Children! May I ask why you've had so many past tTg-IgA tests done, and many of them seem to have been done 3 times during short time intervals?
