Reaction Times?

New to the board so this questions might have been asked before ...

Has anyone compared reaction times to ingesting gluten? I can't seem to figure it out (just yet) for myself with my particular case of DH. At times, I think I should be outbreak free and I am not and vice versa. I've read on line that some individuals have outbreaks up to 6 months after ingestion...

Any personal observations would be appreciated.

Thanks, Jv

I am fortunate in that I have a fairly immediate reaction. I know there are people on here who don't have reactions for a week or two until after they've ingested gluten, and then good luck figuring out the culprit!

A few weeks ago I was out to dinner (a heavy risk I was willing to wager for a top notch steak) and by the end of the meal, I simply KNEW that despite my precautions, something had gone wrong.

I'm still figuring lots of things out because I'm also fairly new to this, but so far it seems as if the reaction is within the hour. As for how long it lasts...I'm not really sure yet!

Welcome!

Thanks Courtney for your input. Just came from a celiac meeting and also asked the question there... as you can imagine, reactions varied, although most stated they've know within hours. I still need to figure this out for myself.

      Lymph nodes

      By Soleihey · Posted

      Has anyone experimenced enlarged lymph nodes with celiac? Both in the neck and groin area. Imaging of both areas have said that lymph nodes are reactive in nature. However, they have been present for months and just wondering how long this may take to go down. Been gluten-free for about two months. Blood counts are normal.

      Hmm interesting I just assumed that any “IGA” tests including the DPG iga would be negative in a person who is IGA deficient but maybe that is not the case for the DPG test.

      If you were just diagnosed I can say that if you go 100% gluten-free should should see dramatic improvement of your symptoms over the next few months, but the hard part is to stay gluten-free. This article has some detailed information on how to be 100% gluten-free, so it may be helpful (be sure to also read the comments section.):

      Isolated DPG-Iga

      By trents · Posted

      From the article I linked above: DGP-IgA and DGP-IgG (Deamidated Gliadin Peptide) Blood Tests for Celiac Disease These tests measure the levels of antibodies in the blood, but specifically targets deamidated gliadin peptides, which are a type of gluten protein that can trigger an immune response in people with celiac disease. The test is not always included in adults, but should be in cases with IgA deficiency.  I'm not sure if this is a grammatical error or not but in the context, two tests are being spoken of together so it could be intended to say, "These tests". I'll ask Scott about that.

      No they did not run a total IGA. But wouldn’t the DPG-IGA also be negative also if I was IGA deficient? They did also run a TTG-IGG and a DPG-IGG and they were also negative.
