How long does it take to recover when you have been glutened. Obviously realise it varies but would love to hear people's comments on this.

For me it depends how much gluten I've ingested. It can take anything between a couple of days up to a week. Copious amounts of water help.

Got glutened last Tues by mistake of course Still suffering and it,s Sunday taking buscopan and colpermin.. also had movical just in case it would help problem pass... if you get the pun.

So I will try water thanks.

A couple of slices of peeled ginger root infused in boiling water can be helpful.

It's difficult to know how long a reaction to gluten will last. I have found that the longer without gluten, the bigger the reaction tends to be, but I usually recover more quickly now.

Thanks will give that a try. I have been fine for months ,cannot believe I am going through it all again.

I was told by my doctor that it can take up to 3 months if you eat just say a small finger nail amount of gluten when you are coeliac

Hi,

It's several days for me. However my understanding is that it can take 3–6 months for your antibodies to gluten to go back down into the normal range.

Interesting.... I have a lot to learn. It is unbelievable once inadvertently eating gluten you feel so poorly. Still tired although tum a lot easier ,one week later. Thanks for your reply. This site is a lifeline to me.
