I know this has been asked before, but I can't find it. How long do the effects of being "glutened" last?

I am not very sensative to cross-contamination. But I know for sure that I got gluten on Tuesday. Days later, I still feel nauseus and gassy and have no appetite.

However, my little one vomited the other day and had no appetite for a few days, so it could definitely be some kind of stomach virus. (His results were negative for celiac disease).

I just was wondering how long the effects last. Just want to compare my notes.

Thanks,

Nikki

HI

When I eat anything with Gluten or Wheat I have different reaction times. I can eat the same thing once or twice and not have a reaction, I can eat that same thing prepared the same way and I can be in the bathroom with D and heartburn stomach burn and such. I love Brownies they are my weekness, it took me a long time to figure it out that when I had brownies from 7-11 that I would be in the bathroom. My Gi told me that if I do have celiac disease, that my reaction would be called Intermitin kind where I have reaction and other times i dont. So I never know. I only know when I get heartburn/stomach burn while eating like spegetti sauce somthing rich. I think that is why I get confused about If I am sick or not, because i don't ever vomit just everything else.

Nikki, everybody's reaction and reaction time is/are different.

I find for myself, the first hour or so is fine after ingestion, but then after that I grumpy and get horrible stomach bloatedness, and all I want to is go to bed and try and sleep, I am no good for anything. After a couple of hours that feeling goes and I tend to sleep it off. The next day, I will feel like a truck has run over me, or hungover and the bloatedness will persist for a day ors os. I am usually not too bad once the day progresses, but feel a bit down (it has been a while since I have been glutened), and probably the following morning I get diarhoea with everything that goes with that and I will still feel below par for about 3 or four more days, but it is quite liveable, it is like a mild depression where I can't figure out why I feel down, but then I remember it is gluten which makes it more manageable as I know it will pass and I will be feeling great in a while.

Just because your son had a negative result does not mean he has no problem with gluten. I would keep an eye on him just in case.

Hope you are feeling better soon.

I tend to take about three weeks to recover completely, but it's like Kaycee said, the third week I'm just a little down and off and I forget why. The I remember that I was glutened three weeks ago. :) I used to get a bit confused about it until I figured out that it really took me that long to recover.

Last time I got glutened was beginning of April, I notice that now my energy is back to "normal". All of April was a bit "down", even though I wasn't sick enough not to work or anything. I basically could go on with my life, just enjoyed it a bit less than usual.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      Thank you for the links to the articles.  Interesting reading. I'll be telling my brother in law because he has a lot of pain

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hi, @Ginger38, I've had shingles in the past.  I understand how miserable you're feeling.   Not only do i have the chickenpox virus lurking about, I also have the cold sore virus that occasionally flares with a huge cold sore on my lip when stressed or exposed to gluten.  The virus lives dormant in the nerves on the left side of my face.  It causes Bell's Palsy (resulting in drooling).  The cold sore virus is also in my eye.  My eye swells up and my vision is diminished permanently whenever I have a flare, so it's of the utmost importance to keep flares away and treat them immediately if they do happen so I don't lose any more vision.   I take the amino acid supplement L-Lysine.  Lysine messes with the replication of viruses, which helps the body fight them off.   I haven't had an outbreak for several years until this year when exceptionally stressed and contaminated, it flared up again. Lysine has been shown to be beneficial in suppression of viruses like the cold sore virus (a herpetic virus), the chickenpox virus (also a herpetic virus), as well as the HIV virus, and even the Covid virus.   I also take additional Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) because Thiamine has antiviral properties as well.   For pain, a combination of Thiamine (like TTFD or Benfotiamine or Thiamine Hydrochloride), with B12 Cobalamine, and Pyridoxine B6 have been shown to have analgesic properties which relieve pain and neuropathy.    The combination of Thiamine B1, Pyridoxine B6 and Cobalamine B12 really does work to relieve pain.  I take it for back pain from crushed vertebrae in my back.  This combination also works on other pain and neuropathy.   I usually buy a supplement that combines all three and also Riboflavin B2 called EXPLUS online.  However, it's made in Japan and the price with the tariffs added makes it really expensive now.  But the combination of Thiamine B1, Pyridoxine B6 and B12 Cobalamine (and Riboflavin B2) still work even if taken separately.   I can't take Tylenol or ibuprofen because of stomach upsets.  But I can take the vitamin combination without side effects.  However, you can take the three vitamins at the same time as other pain relievers for added benefit.  The vitamins help other pain relievers work better. I hope you will try it.  Hopeful you'll feel better quickly.

      I think, after reading this, that you areso traumatized by not being able yo understand what your medical advisors have been  what medical conditions are that you would like to find a group of people who also feel traumatized who would agree with you and also support you. You are on a crusade much as the way the US Cabinet  official, the Health Director of our nation is in trying to change what he considers outdated and incorrect health advisories. He does not have the education, background or experience to be in the position he occupies and is not making beneficial decisions. That man suffered a terrible trauma early in his life when his father was assonated. We see now how he developed and worked himself into a powerful position.  Unless you are willing to take some advice or  are willing to use a few of the known methods of starting on a path to better health then not many of us on this Celiac Forum will be able to join you in a continuing series of complaints about medical advisors.    I am almost 90 years old. I am strictly gluten free. I use 2 herbs to help me stay as clear minded as possible. You are not wrong in complaining about medical practitioners. You might be more effective with a clearer mind, less anger and a more comfortable life if you would just try some of the suggestions offered by our fellow celiac volunteers.
