How Quckly Can Reactions Occur Post-ingest

I am 3 mos. post-diag and doing phenomenally well. My wife cooks 100% gluten-free with marvelous tasting recipes and I have never had the urge to cheat on my diet. My diarrhea has been completely elminated (no pun intented) except after 2 or 3 accidental, 'learning-curve' ingestions. Yesterday, following a normal, complete morning BM, I had lunch at a Red Lobster, after telling the GM about celiac disease and the need for the broiled lobster chops to be segregated (no dustings, fresh tongs, etc.) He agreed to convey the info to the chef and we had a good discussion about the benefit to his restaurant to offer a celiac disease menu and post it on the net. It was a great lunch but about 30 minutes after the end of the meal I had an attack of severe, 100% watery diarrhea, the worst since my diagnosis.

I had no breakfast in the a.m. and no contamination the day before. Could contamination at lunch caused such a severe bout of diarrhea that quickly?

Yep that could have been from the lunch. I get reactions right away and then they last for 2 weeks. Everyone varies with reaction times though. Some have long reactions while some don't get sick at all.

Looks like they might have had something in the meal that contaminated you. Even though the food may have been gluten free, they may have cross contaminated.

I'm sorry to hear you are sick now...feel better soon

Hi!

Sounds like lunch is the culprit. I usually react with diahrrea within 30 minutes of ingesting even trace amounts of gluten.

Hope you feel better soon!

Sometimes I react by the end of a meal or even during it. Other times it takes days!

I don't get intestinal symptoms that quickly, but I'm not very symptomatic. I feel the effects (disorientation/dizziness) within 15-30 minutes, bourbourygmi (intestinal noises) within about 4-6 hours, and stool changes (not terribly severe) within 12 hours.

I get a reaction any where from 30 minutes to 2 days later....never any rhyme or reason to it. I can get sick from just one reaction all the way up to 6 weeks later.

      Welcome to the forum, @SuzanneL! Which tTG was that? tTG-IGA? tTG-IGG? Were there other celiac antibody tests run from that blood draw? Was total IGA measured? By some chance were you already cutting back on gluten by the time the blood draw was taken or just not eating much? For the celiac antibody tests to be accurate a person needs to be eating about 10g of gluten daily which is about 4-6 pieces of bread.

      I've recently received a weak positive tTG, 6. For about six years, I've been sick almost everyday. I was told it was just my IBS. I have constant nausea. Sometimes after I eat, I have sharp, upper pain in my abdomen. I sometimes feel or vomit (bile) after eating. The doctor wanted me to try a stronger anti acid before doing an endoscopy. I'm just curious if these symptoms are pointing towards Celiac Disease?

      I'm sorry to hear about what you're going through. It must be really frustrating and uncomfortable. Have you talked to your healthcare provider about these sudden sweating episodes? It might be helpful to discuss this with them to rule out any other underlying issues or to see if there are specific strategies or treatments that can help manage this symptom. Additionally, staying hydrated and wearing breathable clothing may provide some relief.
