How long does it take if you accidentally ate gluten

I have tried GF for 60 days, definitely feel better.

30 years doctors said it was IBS, but I never really believed it.

I decided to 'test' the theory and had a roll for lunch.
within 3 hours I felt cramping. next day I had over 5 bowel movements in the morning with slight cramping, felt like I was having one of my usual flare ups prior to going GF. I knew right then It had to be the roll. 60 days I was really starting to feel normal!

So the question is: how long will it take for the body to recover from this recent gluten attack? And How long before the intestinal tract is healed from the inflammation of gluten over the past years?? I had to take Pepto Bismol, as I could not take it anymore. Took about an hour to work.

Trust me, after this scenario I will adhere to gf, although as you know it is hidden in alot of things but I am learning. Your reply is appreciated.



thanks
