How Long Does It Take You To Get Over A Glutening?

I was just wondering if everyone could post a little bit about what happens when they get glutened........ I haven't been like this for a LONG time and I know I'm being a little baby here (for those of you who keep reading my reccent posts), but it's been 10 whole days and I'm not better yet! I used to think it only took about a week, but now it seems like it's going on forever, no matter what I do to speed up to process! But if you guys tell me that it sometimes take you this long to get over it , then I'll at least feel better knowing it's not some like bad bad thing that will never go away! (I know, I'm a total pesamist now, but when I'm sick, it's hard not to wonder 'what if') So any thoughts or advice. I'm not really new to this, but like I said, it has only happened two times in the past 8 or 9 months or so, so when I get this bad again, I get mad/scared/frustrated..........Thanks guys...........

I find the length of time differs from person to person. It also seems relevant in how severly it affects you. For me it takes a minimal amount to cause me to have DH and be terribly ill. I have been totally gluten-free

for almost a year. I miss eating turkey sandwiches but the pain and dh is not worth having any gluten. Unofrtunately I have been glute-ed by accident.

Well I had gluten not last Friday, but the Friday before that..........I was extremely bad last week, and it has gotten better, but I still keepg etting bad gas pains in my back and lower abdomen, I'm still extremely bloated, and I'm still naseous.........how long does it take you to get 'better' after you get sick from eating gluten?

Hi Dani -

My response is almost exactly 12 hours later, and lasts a half-day to a day. SEvere D and cramping - it is fierce and miserable - but then I am fine by that night or the end of the day.

Am wondering if something else is going on with you? Can't imagine a glutening lasting that long, but, it IS different for everyone....

blessings.

Well, it for sure always lasts about a week. It's not just digestive things that I get though, it's disrupts my whole system....I get muscle aches, feels like I have black and blue marks all over my body, sore insides, pretty much everything hurts. It always last at least 7 days but I was just wondering if anyone knew of it lasting longer......This time was realllllly bad....and all of the body aches and everything, all the 'weird' symptoms are gone, but now I just have a weak digestive tract all over again.

Dani,

I am going through something similar right now and I don't even know what the culprit is/was! The low back pain and distention and joint aches and cracks are very bad! This has been over a week as well. If you continue to do better- I'd say it was the gluten. If not, you should probably check in with your doctor. Get well!

So far as measurable damage then best figure seems to be 4-6 WEEKS....

However that's all a bit relative....

Different symtoms seem to have different timescales and as said it differs p[erson to person BUT I'd also say it differs in a single person according to other health issues.

For me I have a short 1-2 hour delay before stage 1 which is fever and sweating ... and brain fog starts setting in.. then usually 4-6 hours later the cramps and D.... this then cycles for a week or more...

During this time the symptoms come and go.... sometimes I have C and sometimes D....and sometimes I feel otherwise OK.

Do you have a good gluten-free probiotic handy?

I find that if I need it to move along quicker, I start taking my probiotic in the morning and night and it shortens the recovery time by a few days. It helps me flush out the gunk in my digestive system

Okay -- here's my issue right now -- it's been a week since the glutening and I'm mostly now dealing with extreme depression-type issues -- blowing small things out of proportion, feeling hypersensitive, feeling hopeless about problems, etc.....

The rest of the time, I'm fine.

Any temporary solutions for dealing with the depressive aftermath? I've been exercising, taking my supplements and getting rest. I'm trying not to let this topple me, but could use a leg up -- someone mentioned something recently about Relacore -- would that help?

Hi Dani--sorry you're still not feeling well :(

I start within about 2 hours with gas that progresses to D and nausea. This gets worse the next day or two. At this point, the anxiety, grouchiness and fatigue set in. This is the worst part.

It does take a while for me to feel completely better. Sometimes a week or more. During that time, I can go from feeling ok to not and back again. It's never an exact thing, and I notice that the longer I'm gluten-free, the more it varies.

      Well, that's a big question. When he was seeing the nutrition response testing dr. that changed each time we went in. He hasn't been seeing him regularly for theist ten months. When he had a horribly week in March I started him back on the 4 that were suggested to keep him on. Those are: Standard Process Chlorophyll Complex gluten-free, SP A-F Betafood gluten-free, SP Tuna Omega-3 Oil gluten-free, And Advanced Amino Formula. He also takes a one a day from a company called Forvia (multivitamin and mineral) and Probiotic . Recently he had to start Vitamin D as well as he was deficient.

      Thank you again for your reply and comments which I have read carefully as I appreciate any input at this stage. I'm tending to listen to what my body wants me to do, having been in agony for many years any respite has been welcome and avoiding all wheat and lactose has thankfully brought this.  When in pain before I was seen by a number of gynacologists as I had 22 fibroids and had an operation 13 years ago to shrink them . However the pain remained and intensified to the point over the years where I began passing out. I was in and out of a&e during covid when waiting rooms where empty. My present diet is the only thing that's given me any hope for the future. As I say I had never heard of celiac disease before starting so I guess had this not come up in a conversation I would just have carried on. It was the swollen lymph node that sent me to a boots pharmacist who immediately sent me to a&e where a Dr asked questions prescribed antibiotics and then back to my GP. I'm now waiting for my hospital appointment . Hope this answers your question. I found out more about the disease because I googled something I wouldn't normally do, it did shed light on the disease but I also read some things that this disease can do. On good days I actually hope I haven't got this but on further investigation my mother's side of the family all Celtic have had various problems 're stomach pain my poor grandmother cried in pain as did her sister whilst two of her brother's survived WW2 but died from ulcers put down to stress of fighting.  Wishing you well with your recovery.  Many thanks

      Welcome to the forum, @Nacina, What supplements is your son taking?

      @BluegrassCeliac, I'm agreeing.  It's a good thing taking magnesium. And B vitamins. Magnesium and Thiamine work together.  If you supplement the B vitamins which include Thiamine, but don't have sufficient magnesium, Thiamine won't work well.  If you take Magnesium, but not Thiamine, magnesium won't work as well by itself. Hydrochlorothiazide HCTZ is a sulfonamide drug, a sulfa drug.  So are proton pump inhibitors PPIs, and SSRIs. High dose Thiamine is used to resolve cytokine storms.  High dose Thiamine was used in patients having cytokine storms in Covid infections.  Magnesium supplementation also improves cytokine storms, and was also used during Covid. How's your Vitamin D?

      Hi,   Not saying Thiamine (B1) couldn't be an issue as well, but Mg was definitely the cause of my problems. It's the only thing that worked. I supplemented with B vitamins, but that didn't change anything, in fact they made me sick. Mg stopped all my muscle pain (HCTZ) within a few months and fixed all the intestinal problems HCTZ caused as well. Mom has an allergy to some sulfa drugs (IgG Celiac too), but I don't think I've ever taken them. Mg boosted my energy as well. It solved a lot of problems. I take 1000mg MgO a day with no problems. I boost absorption with Vitamin D. Some people can't take MgO,  like mom, she takes Mg Glycinate. It's one of those things that someone has try and find the right form for themselves. Everyone's different. Mg deficiency can cause anxiety and is a treatment for it. A pharmacist gave me a list of drugs years ago that cause Mg deficiency: PPIs, H2 bockers, HCTZ, some beta blockers (metoprolol which I've taken -- horrible side effects), some anti-anxiety meds too were on it. I posted because I saw he was an IgG celiac. He's the first one I've seen in 20 years, other than my family. We're rare. All the celiacs I've met are IgA. Finding healthcare is a nightmare. Just trying to help. B
