If you have been sticking to the diet for a least 2 weeks you should have some result. However, sometimes it does take longer. So as long as you are not being temped to cheat, you may need to go as long as 3 months.
In the event that you are still having trouble you may find that you also have some other related problem such as an intolerance to dairy.
You also can get what they call a cross-reaction which can cause a reaction when you eat gluten. Cross-reactivity is a condition when the autoimmune antibodies your body generates mistakes other food proteins for the one you can not tolerate. So when this happens the effect on your body is the same as if you had eaten gluten.
If you do find that you are still having problems it may be that you are having a cross-reaction. You may need to test the other foods you eat. You can ask your doctor to order an allergy test or another way is to eliminate the foods you eat one at a time. How you do this is the same as with your gluten diet. Choose one of the foods you eat and remove it from your diet for 3 weeks, by then you should find some relief.
People with gluten sensitivity have a high risk of cross-reactivity to the protein in milk and dairy products. This is not the same as lactose intolerance as this is an intolerance to milk sugar not milk protein.
Again the one way to find out if it is dairy is to eliminate all dairy from your diet along with the gluten for 3 weeks and see if you feel any results.
