Recovery Time After A Glutening

[georgie]

How long does it take to recover from a Glutening? And how soon do the symptoms of a Glutening start?

There is no one answer to your questions as it varies widely from one to another. Some can react, say within minutes to a hour. I believe that it can be from the amount of damage done to your small intesting, as well some may be hyper-sensitive.

It take me about 24 hours to get a reaction and I have been gluten free for over a year now. I takes me several days to recover from brain fog, but the intestinal issues have moderated greatly.....every one is different.

Good question, and IMO a hard one to answer because it varies from person to person.

For me, I know I've been glutened (the symptoms kick in) about 6-8 hours after glutening...usually the next morning (what a thing to wake up to ).

As for recovering, depends on the symptom. I get severe pain in my abdomen that usually lasts for at least 3 days, a burning stomach ache that last about a week, brain fog that lasts 3-4 weeks (coming and going); but then I also get heartburn and migraine headaches that don't usually kick in till a few days AFTER being glutened....all my symptoms last for different lengths of time.

I'm glad this question was asked. I have been wondering about it myself. I ate something with gluten (unknowingly) a couple days ago and am still paying for it. Started with acid stomach and now it's mostly gas with occasional stomach pain.

My symptoms begin about 15 hours later, usually mid morning if the glutening was for dinner the night before. I have moderate cramps with D all that day and into the next, along with fatigue, brain fog and headache, which can linger on for several days, especially the fatigue. My husband will tell you that I get irritable - but that's only because he gets on my nerves

So ..... if I wake up with D and stomach pains it would have probably been the meal at dinner that was guilty?

And my hubbie said that icecream was safe

I have been glutened 2 x this week. Visitors are staying and I am out of routine also a bit more careless. The last glutening took about 12 hours to happen, and has lasted for 6 days with stomach cramps and pain. Just about recovered from that when I had the icecream last night. Some people don't learn ....
