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

      Hi I've been told I need a MRI on my bowels , I was booked for a colonoscopy, but because of my sever back issues and trapped nerve it can't be done , the nurse told me I will have to have a manitol drink a hour before the scan , I'm just a bit worried has I have issues with sweeteners like even a little,  I get a weird throat and ears and I've read it is a similar substance , not sure if anyone has had one of these scans or could give me some advise on the drink prep thanks in advance 😄

      Hi all ! Can a celiac attack be so intense that it causes your entire body to work in reverse? Meaning really bad pain,  neuropathy and muscle,  jaw pain,  the stomach issues , Horrible anxiety and confusion??  I had a Tums and you would think I ate poison. My jaw and stomach did not like it . Not the norm for me. Things that are simple are just out of control. Anyone ever have this happen??  I'm trying to figure out what I ate or did to bring on a celiac like attack. I had an idea before but yesterday I didn't have any gluten unless it was in a medication ?! Any positive suggestions ??  Thank you

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.

      Tammy, in the food industry, "gluten free" doesn't mean the same thing as "no gluten". As Scott explained, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) allows food companies to use the "gluten-free" label as long as the product does not contain more than 20 ppm (parts per million) of gluten. This number is based on studies the FDA did years ago to determine the reaction threshold for those with celiac disease. And the 20 ppm figure works for the majority of celiacs. There are those who are more sensitive, however, who still react to that amount. There is another, stricter standard known as "Certified Gluten Free" which was developed by a third party organization known as GFCO which requires not more than 10 ppm of gluten. So, when you see "GFCO" or "Certified Gluten Free" labels on food items you know they are manufactured with a stricter standard concerning gluten content. Having said all that, even though you may read the disclaimer on a food item that says the spices may contain wheat, barley or rye (the gluten grains), you should be able to trust that the amount of gluten the spices may contain is so small it allows the total product to meet the requirements of gluten free or certified gluten free labeling. I hope this helps.
