It takes me about 1-week to recover from a single incident of overindulgence in consuming gluten. In that week my stomach may inflate to near basketball sized for the better part of a day. I will feel fat and feel something similar to constipation where it's hard to define, just a feeling of frumpy and swelled.
Eight years ago when I went low-gluten I lost 20 lbs in the first six weeks, but it looked like I lost 40 lbs because all the swelling went down.

My wife was so impressed she went low gluten and her adult acne cleared up practically overnight. She had tried everything on the market, some really expensive stuff, nothing had worked.
If you are interested in getting into shape this summer but your joints always end up hurting (like your knees), try going gluten free or low gluten, it's going to amaze you.
Oddly, the one thing that always helped me with joint pain was Bourbon, and like almost everything else in an American diet it has wheat in it. My knees no longer hurt or ache when I go up the stairs, it was the gluten - who knew?
