My wife has coeliacs disease, so I can describe what happens to her. Just a few weeks ago she got glutened by a restaurant that should know better.
Within ten minutes she became very gassy, as shown by burping. She then begins to bloat and her tummy swells half again its normal size. Then for approximately a week she will have discomfort in her gut and have very loose stools and flatulance.
That’s the outside. On the inside her immune system is reacting crazy and actually damaging her gut (intestines) by trying to attack the gluten. The above is the result of that.
