How Long it takes to see the healing effect after going on Gluten Free Diet

How Long Does it Take to Heal After Removing Gluten from your diet?

In order the answer the above question completely accurately it would require knowing how much damage the small intestine had sustained. If this individual has celiac disease and was only just diagnosed in his/her 50s, the likelihood is that it could take years to heal the intestine. If the individual is gluten sensitive than the healing time is less, maybe less than a year, as less damage was sustained. While this may sound like a long time, do realize that most people start feeling better in a matter of weeks. And considering how many years the intestine was likely under attack from gluten, it’s only a fraction of that time that is needed to heal it. And when you recall that we’re talking about something the size of a tennis court. it makes sense that it takes some time.
What further plays into this equation, is what the person is doing to ensure that healing occurs. Obviously completely removing gluten is most important. But supplementing any nutritional deficiencies such as vitamin D, B12, iron, calcium, etc are also needed to give the body the raw materials it needs to heal itself. Further, identifying and removing any inhospitable organisms such as parasites, amoeba, bacteria or yeast is also necessary to regain health and proper healing of the small intestine. You can’t re-grow the grass on your lawn if every night an animal is digging it up!

While we tend to think of the small intestine as a long smooth tube or pipe, I’d like to paint a more accurate picture for you. The small intestine is about 23 feet long but because it is folded into many finger-like projections it is anything but smooth (imagine shag carpeting), and its surface area is that of a tennis court. That’s a tremendously large area that is responsible for converting one’s food into available fuel that is then delivered to the trillion cells that you own. so it takes time to remove from all intestine and blood this gluten.
In fact, the above paragraph addresses the largest hole we see in addressing gluten intolerance. The prescribed treatment is to remove gluten, but not much else. Neglecting to similarly remove any infectious organism can prevent regaining one’s health. Adding nutrients to which one has become deficient or those specifically designed to assist healing plus probiotics that help restore strength to the intestine’s immune system, are all factors that need to be employed for a truly successful program to see the healing effect of gluten-free diet.

Some good answer of how long it takes to see healing effect of gluten-free diet on the internet

1- Gluten-free diet effect

Saman says gluten-free diet takes 6-8 weeks for the gluten to leave your gut tissues, and another 6-8 weeks for damage to heal. If you notice symptom relief within that time frame, then you have your answer. If you don't, but then do a gluten challenge (i.e., add gluten back to your diet) and get symptoms or current issues become worse, then you also have your answer. Sometimes it takes up to a year or more gluten-free for people to really have noticeable changes, and other times the change is noticed within a few days. It depends on the individual.

2- Gluten-free diet effect

My mom has celiac and when she first figured it out (she was in her 30s), she was getting very physically ill, and it took her several months to really regain her health. Since then she has been gluten free and feels great (she's in her mid-70's now).

3- Gluten-free diet effect

One physician says gluten-free diet effect completely depends on the extent of damage done to your intestines as well as how many peripheral effects you have (i.e.arthritis, malnutrition, anaemia, etc.) as well as your individual body chemistry and rate of healing. Some things will get better right away, some will take longer to heal. Your recovery also depends on how vigilant you are and how often you get accidental contamination. I felt like a new person after a week of wing gluten free. After a month I was the happiest person on earth. But I do get accidentally "gluten" and it will set me back 1-2 weeks invisible symptoms and who knows how long on the inside.

4- Gluten-free diet effect

Cathy Brak wrote I recovered from my obvious symptoms within a few months. I’m sure that recovery time will vary from one person to another depending on the damage done. Of course, as you probably already know, a celiac can never eat gluten again. Fortunately, there is a whole world of delicious, naturally gluten-free foods to enjoy!

5- Gluten-free diet effect

Rick Noonan wrote, My wife and youngest child are the celiac sufferers in the family, and both have been compromised with gluten, large and small, on many occasions. They both take between 2 and 4 weeks to feel back to normal, with the first week being the very worst depending on the volume and severity of the poisoning. But more importantly, it takes a couple of months for their compromised immune systems to recover, so they both get very sick with every flu and cold that is running around, that would normally not put them on their tail for days/weeks on end. That for me is the scariest part, being helpless, watching them get sicker and sicker without a well-functioning immune system to keep them healthy.

6- Gluten-free diet effect

Bakeman writes, Our functional medicine doc said it can take up to a month to clear from your system. He also counselled that the tiniest amount of gluten - he gave the example of a nun eating a communion wafer that had gluten - could inflame for up to two weeks to see gluten-free diet effect.
