How Long Does It Last When You Get "glutened"?

I'm an idiot & took a drink of my boyfriends beer instead of my own on Sunday. I have been miserable ever since! Mood issues, brain fog, diarrhea, trouble sleeping... I thought I was feeling better this morning but now I'm back to the toilet again. Is this all from one swig of beer? Cause it's been 3 days and my stomach feels worse today than it did a couple days ago. Or have I maybe gotten into something else bad now? I just want this misery to end.

It lasts from about a week up to 3 depending on what I had. I hope you feel better soon,

Thank you, me too. Other times when I've accidentally ingested a tiny amount I've only been affected 2-4 days. I guess for the amount I got this time it figures I would feel it longer.

I've only been glutened once, three weeks after starting the diet. It lasted about 4 days. My symptoms were neurologic and not gastric.

At least a week. I am 6 years gluten free and it still happens as I am ridiculously sensitive. Drinking lots of water and finding time to lie down is all that helps.

Good health to you!

Agree with oceangirl, at least a week, probably two, although everyone is different. I tell you a good thing to do which never occurred to me but am glad I did:- write a daily diary of how you feel. I think my mean length of being nailed was 15 days but it was fascinating reading it back, it meant the next time I knew what to expect and also when I lost track of things I could trace roughly where I was in the "being glutened" timeline (i.e. how long til it goes away!!).

That a great idea to keep track of it, especially because my worst symptoms are the brain fog and emotional symptoms. They get me so confused sometimes I don't know up from down.

      Hi,  My 7 year daughter has complained of this in the past, which I thought were part of her glutening symptom, but more recently I have come to figure out it's part of her histamine overload symptom. This one symptom was part of her broader profile, which included irritability, extreme hunger, confusion, post-nasal drip. You might want to look up "histamine intolerance". I wish I had known of this at the time of her diagnosis, life would have been much easier.  I hope you are able to figure out.

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin.  He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her kitchen but I thought it would be ok.  Next day and for a few after his behavior is awful. Hitting, rude, disrespectful. Mainly he kept saying his legs were shaking. Is this a gluten exposure symptom that anyone else gets? Also the bad behavior?

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified Gluten" in any given batch run. It just means there could be.

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.
