How Long To Recover After Screwing Up?

My son has been gluten free for about 2 months. Yesterday I accidently gave him his brother's noodles instead of his gluten free pasta. He ate a whole plate of spaghetti noodles before I realized my mistake. Today the liquid diarrhea started and tonight we've already had to wake him up once to change his sheets and give him a bath.

How long before the diarrhea stops?!!!!!

It does vary quite a lot from person to person, but many seem to feel better in about a week or so. Some in as little as two days. Some have symptoms for over a month, though that's appears to be far less common.

Try cooking him some chicken soup with carrots & cabbage, nothing else. Plain homemade chicken broth is also good. I keep some homemade chicken & chicken broth in the freezer...

100% welch's grape juice diluted with water - keep the liquids going...

expect the neurological stuff to kick in after the diarrhea stops...

What neurological stuff?!!!!!!! Now I'm scared.

oh so sorry did not mean to scare you. neurological is just shorthand for things like headaches, temper tantrums, emotional meltdowns, crying spells, anger, maybe some ADHD, problem sleeping, brain foggy stuff, things like that.

People have come to accept that if you give kids sugar, they will be bouncing off the walls. with gluten - usually you will get one or more of the above- but not always - your child might have their own special reaction!!

      These look great!  I follow several people who frequently post gluten-free recipes online (plus they sell their cookbooks). "Gluten Free on a Shoestring" and "Erin's Meaningful Eats>"

      Sounds great, we also have lots of recipes here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/gluten-free-recipes/

      When I had to go gluten-free, the rest of my family still ate gluten. They still eat regular bread products and crackers, but there are no other gluten-containing foods in the house. I bought a separate toaster that is only used for gluten-free products, and thoroughly cleaned all cookware, dishes and surfaces. We do have to be very careful with cross-contact, for instance when someone else is making a sandwich with wheat bread. Then I went through my cupboards and pantry, I set aside everything else with gluten and gave it away - flour and baking mixes, pasta, etc. So when I cook any recipe that calls for flour (perhaps for thickening) or bread crumbs like Panko, I only use gluten-free.

      This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      Exactly, everyone with celiac disease technically has an "intolerance" to these: Wheat: The prolamin is called gliadin. Barley: The prolamin is called hordein. Rye: The prolamin is called secalin. Around 9% of celiacs also should avoid oats (but around the time of diagnosis this may be much higher--some will have temporary intolerance): Oats: The prolamin is called avenin. I had to avoid this for 1-2 years after my diagnosis until my gut healed: Corn: The prolamin is called zein. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary...
