Swollen Tongue. How Long Last?

I got a facial on Friday, and one of the tools she was using accidentally slid into my mouth. The tool had gotten some of the cosmetic products she was using on me onto it. My tongue swelled some. It looks like a holly leaf but not that extreme - the sides look like there are bumps placed at regular intervals. I think the bumps are where my tongue should be, and the indented parts are where the tongue has drawn in or swollen or something. (So the bumps are not blisters or raised areas. They're where the shape of my tongue has changed.)

Anyway, so now it's Monday. I'm wondering how long my tongue might be like this? I've never had an allergic reaction like this, so this is new for me. My allergist is out of the office this week, so I have an appointment next week to figure out which of the million ingredients in the facial toners/lotions/etc could have caused this! I did take half an Allegra the first night. Then a Benadryl the second night. Allegra makes my mouth dry, and Benadryl makes me very hungover until lunch the next day, so I haven't taken them again.

At least the lightheadedness and fatigue are gone!!! (had those the first two days)

      Daura Damm (a sponsor here) uses AN-PEP enzymes and filtering in their brewing process to reduce/remove gluten, and it actually tests below 10ppm (I've see a document where they claim 5ppm).

      This topic has come up before on this forum and has been researched. No GMO wheat, barley and rye are commercially available in the USA. Any modifications are from hybridization, not laboratory genetic modification. Better toleration of wheat, barley and rye products in other countries is thought to be due to use of heirloom varieties of these cereal grains as opposed to the hybrids used in the USA which contain much larger amounts of gluten.

      Welcome to the forum @Ceekay! If you have celiac disease then you can't eat wheat in other countries because it would still contain gliadin, the harmful part of the grain. Have you been diagnosed with celiac disease?

      I can eat wheat products safely and without discomfort when traveling to Mexico, Outer Mongolia, and Japan. I feel that US wheat, barley, and rye are grown from genetically-modified seeds that have had something unhealthy done to them, that causes a bad reaction in many of us.

      I think all barley and barley malt  have gluten. I would avoid it. The only gluten-free beer I've tried that tastes good is by Holidaily, a Colorado brewery. Their Fat Randy's IPA is great, except that it's almost impossible to find and grocers won't order it (they're at the mercy of their "food distributors," who seem to hate Holidaily). If you can find any Holidaily, try it--it's great. Never mind Spain -;)
