For me it can take sometimes a day or 2 to feel the effects. Tired, headache, can't move my body, nauseous. I might feel this way for about 4 days and then I start to feel better. I would not have kept eating the food once I found it had gluten in it because if the meatballs had gluten then I feel most likely the rest does too. Hopefully this will not be the case for you but if you are not feeling very good tomorrow eating this food might be way.

It just depends on the person. Some vomit violently immediately and some get migraine headaches and fatigue for 3 days. Some symptoms are gastrointestinal and those can be immediate or delayed too. Some never get symptoms at all.

But I want to speak to your last comment, and NO all your work has not been in vain. You are still healing and you may get a setback, but you are not really back to square one. Accidental glutenings happen to the even the most careful eaters. You will get through this and you will learn something about YOUR symptoms when you have gluten.

Um just a side note. The cheese and potatos were glutenend too if they were in the same dish with the meatballs.

If something touches gluten, it has gluten.

But you are on your way. And I don't think you totally destroyed your new baby villi....:)

That is what I used to joke to my friends when I got accidental gluten. "Uh Oh, I think I just mowed off my new baby villi!" Ya know,,,it is a nice visual to keep you on the straight and narrow. But lot's of experts here told me I wasn't back to square one, when I did that to myself. Hope you don't feel too badly.

Thank you so much guys,

Firstly, @ iamsarar, I only ate the one meatball. I know that means nothing, as the melted cheese and the potatoes were covered in pieces of meatball.

Secondly, @ eatmeat4good, it

      Severe severe mouth pain

      I agree.  If someone has Barrett's Esophagus, at least here in the UK, as I understand it under normal circumstances a PPI needs to be taken long term (or similar medication).  I have two friends with this.  The PPI it does have side effects but they still have to take it.

      Do talk to your doctor about making changes to your medication.    I'm not a medical doctor.   I'm a microbiologist.  I studied nutrition before switching to microbiology because I was curious what vitamins were doing inside the body. I would hate to give advice that jeopardizes your health, so do discuss things with your doctor.

      @Jmartes71, Sorry you've been feeling so poorly.   Are you taking any medication to treat the SIBO?   Are you taking any Benfotiamine?  Benfotiamine will help get control of the SIBO.  Thiamine deficiency has symptoms in common with MS. Have you had your gas appliances checked for gas leaks and exhaust fume leaks?  Carbon Monoxide poisoning can cause the same symptoms as the flu and glutening.  Doctors have to check venous blood (not arterial) for carbon monoxide.  Are other inhabitants sick, or just you?  Do they leave the house and get fresh air which relieves their symptoms?

      Blood Test for Celiac wheat type matters?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      European wheat is often a "soft wheat" variety which contains less gluten than "hard wheat" varieties found in the States.   In European countries, different cooking methods and longer  fermentation (rising or proofing) times allow for further breakdown of gluten peptides. Wheat in the States is a blend of hard and soft wheat.  Gluten content can vary according to where the wheat was grown, growing conditions, when harvested, and local preference, so a blend of both hard and soft wheat is used to make a uniform product.   I moved around quite a bit as a child in a military family.  I had different reactions to gluten in different areas of the country every time we moved.  I believe some wheat breeds and blends are able to provoke a worse immune response than others.   Since European soft wheat doesn't contain as much gluten as American wheat, you may try increasing your intake of your soft wheat products.  A minimum of ten grams of gluten is required to get a sufficient immunological response so that the anti-gluten antibodies leave the intestines and enter the bloodstream where they can be measured by the tTg IgA test.  Your whole wheat bread may only have a gram of gluten per slice, so be prepared...

      From my own experience and that of others who have tried to discontinue PPI use, I think your taper down plan is much too aggressive. It took me months of very incremental tapering to get to the point where I felt I was succeeding and even then I had to rely some days on TUMS to squelch flareups. After about a year I felt I had finally won the battle. Rebound is real. If I were you I would aim at cutting back in weekly increments for two weeks at a time rather than daily increments. So, for instance, if you have been taking 2x20mg per day, the first week cut that down to 2x20mg for six days and 1x20 mg for the other day. Do that for two weeks and then cut down to 2x20mg for five days and 1x20 for two days. On the third week, go 20x2 for four days and 20x1 for 3 days. Give yourself a week to adjust for the reduced dosage rather than reducing it more each week. I hope this makes sense.
