Feeling Better

[Susan3]

I've been gluten-free for about two weeks. How long did it take for your cramps to quit? I do not have them all day like I used to. I still get them but not as bad and not for a long period of time. I'm sure everyone is different but ugh! I feel icky now.

Some people feel better in a few weeks and for other it takes up to 1 to 2 years. When I get an accidental gluten ingestion, my stomach pain can last for up to about 2 weeks.

I started seeing results in the first week, but it took me a solid 3-4 months to feel "normal" again. Like Carrie said, I think it varies a lot from person to person.

Yep, it varies from person to person. It took me 8 months to really get back to normal but I did see major improvement by the 3rd month. You really can't expect it to go away so soon. If you see any improvement at all that soon then you should be happy.

At first there are alot of accidents too because you are just learning and things you think may be gluten free may have hidden gluten(I was doing that for a while without knowing)

Everytime I get the slightest amount of gluten though, I get sick for a good 2 weeks.

Just make sure you are keeping 100% gluten free with foods and products you use and all you have to do is give it time then and keep positive. It WILL get better.

Definitely varies from person to person. If I get glutened, I have symptoms for about a week. When I first went gluten-free, I felt a fair amount better fairly quickly, but my symptoms were harder to notice at the beginning, and I hadn't had it (I think) for that long before I tried the gluten-free diet. Hopefully, you'll start getting better and better!
