I Know This Has Been Asked A Million Times, But...

how long does it really seem to take to get over when you've accidentally had gluten? I had some on accident about a week ago. It was Wyler's bouillon and from the label I think it was because it's produced on the same machines that wheat products are. At first the reaction didn't seem too bad and I cycled through the neuro. symptoms very quickly so I thought it wouldn't be so bad.

It's been about 10 days and I'm still not feeling right. It's not super bad just low energy and I don't feel like doing anything. Right before this I had not had any "accidents" and was finally feeling better than I had in years so this makes it particularly difficult. I guess I know the answer, but it would help to know other people have reactions that last this long too. Sometimes I feel like I'm nuts for thinking feeling like this is from something that happened 10 days ago!

I can tell that mentally I'm just not back to normal yet. My reactions are slower than what they should be and my head just feels weird still. I guess one plus would be that this is the first time I've accidentally had gluten where I've been able to trace it back and know for sure. The symptoms match up with all the other times I thought I may have had gluten so I guess at least now I know all those other times I was right...

Everyone is different. Some, like me, it only takes a few hours or a few days to recover. Others it can take up to about a month to recover fully. I think some it may take even longer. Hopefully your reaction is almost over.

Everyone's reactions are different. It's not at all unusual for it to last 10 days. Mine take 2-3 weeks to feel completely normal again.

Mine take two to three weeks as well. The worst and most obvious symptoms are over in a few days, but after that it takes the three weeks or so before I'm my usual perky self.

Well, im on day 5 of an accidental glutening...still havent figured out the source....

Im glad (well, not really ;) ) to read that glutenings can last over 3 days. Usually i am better by now. I thought that was the magic number. This time is just really bad.

I hope u feel better soon!

In the beginning my time was 2 days as time goes on the reactions are getting stronger and longer up to a week and a half. Hang in there.

Thank you so much to everyone that replied. I seem to finally be over it thank goodness. It looks like this one lasted 2 weeks. Now I have to catch up on cleaning the house, laundry, bills etc. Seems like when this happens I just go into "survival mode". Hmmm, and people wonder why we're so careful when it comes to gluten...

Sometimes it just helps to hear I'm not the only one that takes so long to recover. I just have no energy during it and feel so "lazy" that it gets frustrating!

      Have this rash forming on the back of my legs. Looking for relief outside of going to the doctor.

      By Kirbyqueen · Posted

      Still dealing with this rash on my legs. I've eliminated ringworm (through use of topical ointments). And I also know it's not shingles, as I've never had chickenpox before and I'm still fairly young. Through a lot of online research, I'm leaning more towards dermatitis herpetiformis, eczema, or psoriasis. I've actually got a doctor's appointment in May (finally got some insurance) and I'm going to bring it up then. I'm feeling really hopeful and excited to maybe be getting some relief soon.   Big thanks to everyone for the suggestions and positive thoughts!

      Trying to read my lab results

      By trents · Posted

      You have three celiac disease specific antibody tests that are positive: Endomysial  Antibody IGA (aka, EMA), tTG-IGA, and tTG_IGG. Furthermore, your Immunoglobulin A at 55 is low, meaning you are IGA deficient. This one is not an antibody test for celaic disease per se but a measure of "total IGA" levels and if low (yours is low) it can suppress the individual antibody scores and even cause false negatives. So, yes, it definitely looks like you have celiac disease.   Do not yet begin a gluten free diet as your physician may refer you to a GI doc for an endoscopy/biopsy of the small bowel lining for confirmation of the antibody testing. This may help:

      Trying to read my lab results

      By Bayb · Posted

      Hi, I received my labs via email yesterday and have not heard back from my doctor yet. Can anyone tell me if these results indicate I have Celiac?      Endomysial Antibody IgAPositive  Ft-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgA6  H0-3 (U/mL) - Negative 0 - 3 - Weak Positive 4 - 10 - Positive >10 - Tissue Transglutaminase (tTG) has been identified as the endomysial antigen. Studies have demonstrated that endomysial IgA antibodies have over 99% specificity for gluten-sensitive enteropathy. FImmunoglobulin A, Qn, Serum55  L87-352 (mg/dL) Ft-Transglutaminase (tTG) IgG183  H0-5 (U/mL) - Negative 0 - 5 - Weak Positive 6 - 9 - Positive >9

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By Aussienae · Posted

      Mine is definitely triggered by inflammation and stress! I do also have arthritis in my spine, but the pain is more in my pelvic area. Im sure i have other food intolerances or other autoimmune isues but the more I focus on it and see doctor after doctor, it just gets worse.  Best thing is get of Gluten! (I also avoid lactose). Try to limit stress and anything that causes inflammation in your body.

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By ButWhatCanIEat · Posted

      Good morning,   I got an email about replies to this post. Some of my doctors had blamed a slipped disc for the pain I had and that contributes, but after meeting with a gastroenterologist AGAIN and trying some lifestyle modifications, I found out I have IBS and can't tolerate corn or excessive fructose to any degree. Cutting out corn AFTER having cut out all gluten containing products was a real pain but I feel much better now!
