For sure until I stop eating whatever got me. It took weeks before I figured out the buckwheat being cross contiminated.

Four to six weeks. It is positively awful, it's like being drunk for a month or more. I'm slurring words, bumping into things, losing my balance, can't carry on a conversation because I forget I was having one (sometimes mid sentence) and have the memory of a goldfish. That is without the pain and exhaustion. I think I'd rather be on the toilet for 6 weeks tyvm.

Somewhere in the area of a week - depending on how much gluten I ate - ie. cross contamination versus having a meal where the waitstaff erroneously told me it was gluten-free, the latter taking longer to get over.

For me, it also depends on what I do. My best plan is to eat very light, very safe (nothing that coud have any gluten), drink lots of water (lots), and rest. If I am feeling better, physical activity seems to help get me back on track. When I am "down" I also avoid all dairy and soy and graze because it almost seems to affect me like everything has gluten in it - my stomach gets pretty touchy.

Most of the time it's just a few days. Two times it's been about 3 weeks of pain pain pain. I think in those cases it was cumulative gluten over the course of days. Both times I was on trips out of the house.

Four to seven days, depending on the amount. When I did a mini-gluten challenge (small amount of pasta at one meal), it was more than a week.

Gut symptoms: two or three days.

Psoriasis: two or three weeks

Jaw pain: Three to six weeks

Are you sure that you aren't confusing your glutening symptoms with plain old.... well old age? :P

Old? ME?! Well, yeah, I've got that. Or, I had that but I seem to have misplaced it. Um, what were we talking about anyway? :blink::lol:

I'm not sure I remember. One of those young whipper-snappers will be along shortly to get us back on track. :D (There is something magical about the day your child becomes an adult that just pushes you off that age cliff.)

Ditto so far. I'm a newbie with little experience but Northern Elf's response rings true for me. I'm on day four after being glutened in a restaurant eating gluten-free food. Although it started out pretty intense, this afternoon, my outlook on life became better which is one of the first signs of "the road back". There are symptoms going down the road and symptoms coming back. Today, I literally had no appetite and when I drank hot water with bitters, lemon & ginger syrup, it comforted me. Here is something I found and it seems to help on those days when my body is saying, "uh, no. No. Please don't put that in my stomach...":

      Celiac friendly probiotics

      In response to your questions regarding probiotics. I have had Celiac for 40 years. Stomach issues: digestion, IBS to chronic constipation, bloat after eating anything. I was unable to eat a healthy variety of foods, tried probiotics supplements - some made me worse, others made no difference. After reading about people with Crones, IBS, etc, who made...

      Hi Katht - I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was...

      Celiac friendly probiotics

      By Florence Lillian · Posted

      In response to your questions regarding probiotics.  I have had Celiac for 40 years.  Stomach issues: digestion, IBS to chronic constipation, bloat after eating anything.  I was unable to eat a healthy variety of foods, tried probiotics supplements - some made me worse, others made no difference.  After reading about people with Crones, IBS, etc, who made their own probiotics I started making Milk Kefir: not water Kefir. There are 10 probiotics in milk KEFIR. After 3 weeks I was able to eat more, no gas, no IBS.  If you have a computer just ask for videos on making milk Kefir. I branched out and make my own Kombucha for even more probiotics. I do not make my yogurt because there are only about four probiotics in that. I started this when I was 82 and I still make my own Kefir and Kombucha. My stomach issues were fixed with the Milk Kefir alone. If you decide to try making it, make certain you order MILK GRAINS. The finished product tastes a bit like Buttermilk. I hope this helps in your journey to good health.

      Hi Katht -  I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal  function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was very true for me. I am still elimination foods from my diet. One person suggested you keep a food diary and that is a good idea but it is probably best just to do an elimination diet. There are several ne and maybe one for celiacs. I used one for a while and started with plain rice and zucchini and then added back other foods to see if I reacted or not. That helped a great deal but what I did not realise that it would only very small amounts of some foods to cause inflammation in my intestine. Within the last few years I have stopped eating any trace amounts of hot peppers, corn and soy(mostly in supplements) and nuts, (the corn in Tylenol was giving me stomach aches and the nuts were causing foot pains). Starting an elimination diet with white rice is better than brown rice that has some natural toxins. In addition it is very important to drink sufficient plain water. You can find out how much to drink for your height and weight online. I do have difficulty drinking 48 ounces of water but just recently have found an electrolyte supplement that helps me stay well hydrated, Adding the water and electrolytes may reduce muscle cramps and gag spams you wrote about. . Also buy some anti-gluten enzyme capsules to take with meals. I use GliadinX advertised here. These are a lot of things to do at one time as they reflect my 20 years of experience. I hope you do what you can manage to do over time. Good luck and take care.
