The initial short term discomfort is generally resolved once the ingested gluten has moved through your digestive tract. The time it takes from mouth to bowel movement is referred to as transit time. Transit time can vary from person to person for a variety of different reasons including, the health and function of the gut, liver, and pancreas. In addition, different types of food take different amounts of time to pass through the digestive tract. For example, simple carbohydrates take less time to digest compared to protein or fiber-rich foods. Transit time is also influenced by a number of other factors, including psychological stress, gender, exercise, sleep, hydration, etc.
While you may feel better after a couple days following gluten exposure, there is a lot more happening behind the scenes that you may not be aware of. Ingesting gluten can trigger IgA and IgG antibodies which will then cause leaky gut or intestinal hyperpermeability. The breach of the gut barrier allows toxins to flood into your bloodstream causing systemic tissue damage and inflammation. A number of factors will determine how your body recovers from the “unseen” damage caused by gluten exposure. Research has suggested that the half life of IgA gluten antibodies is about two months and the half life of IgG antibodies is 30-60 days. Translation: it can take 4 months to clear out the antibodies. This means that antibody induced damage can go on for a minimum of two months. However, damage may last far longer, depending on other factors, like the overall state of your gut health, other pre-existing health conditions, your nutritional status, and how many gluten exposures you subject yourself to. In addition to the challenges associated with antibodies that present from ingestion of gluten, research has also shown that the mucosal lining of the intestine does not recover well, even when a gluten free diet is implemented. Specifically, the study notes that mucosal recovery was absent in a substantial portion of adults with celiac disease after treatment with a gluten free diet. This underscores even more how important it is to check food labels, confirm how food was prepared if not by you, and do your research on the testing and practices of any company who makes your food.
