Hi, New With Symptom Q

Hi everyone :D

I'm Misa, 32 years old and live in Scandinavia. I've been doing a gluten-free diet for over a month now after self-diagnosing and I'm now convinced I'm on the right track. Chronic diarrhea, dizziness, digestive pains and cramps, candida, nausea and extremely low energy have already improved tremendously. My panick attacks have gone and general anxiety almost non-excistent (using L-glutamine and N-acetyl glucosamine for gut healing - a big help).

I've been reading up on your posts for the last month and a BIG thank you to everyone.....so many questions have been answered here in addition to my own research.

I have a question to something weird that happened yesterday and today. I accidentaly got glutened for the first time due to taking some herbs that contained "grain alcohol" and my anxiety returned with a vengance within half an hour (woke up this morning with diarrhea and cramps too). Could a gluten intolerance symptom surface so quickly after ingestion (1/2 hour)??? Or is this simply coincidence? Has anyone else experienced symptoms so quickly?

Again, thank you everyone so far, Misa :)

Hi Misa :)

Reactions can *absolutely* surface in as little as 1/2 an hour!! I react within 10 minutes of having ingested gluten. Usually, my first reaction is emotional. I know as soon as I start crying that something is up! If I've gotten a lot of gluten, I have a pretty severe GI reaction within 30 minutes.

Welcome to the forum :) One more nice person is always a bonus ;)

Everyone has a slightly different reaction, and it takes a different amount of time for everyone. But it is possible to have a reaction within an hour or less of consuming gluten.

God bless,

Mariann

Yep, reaction times vary. I feel it right away and have a reaction that lasts about 2 weeks.

my reactions are almost instantaneous to eating something with gluten. If I am accidentally glutenened I can usually tell immediately. Anxiety attacks usually are the first sign, then cramping and the big D... like Kaiti said, symptoms for about 2 weeks after as well.

Wow, so many answers, THANX :D It's 04.22 o'clock at night over here and I woke up with a sweat and runny, itchy eyes. Two other gluten related symptoms gone on the gluten-free diet and thought I'd check the board. Thank you Michelle, Mariann, Kaiti and Nini.......

I just assumed that it was the colon area which was sensitive to gluten, but getting reactions so fast means the glutenened "rollercoaster ride" actually can start in the stomach area ;)

As soon as I started visiting this board, I went super-strict gluten-free (followed everybody's guidelines) and thought I'd just grab this opportunity to say you guys have probably helped ALOT of people out there. Hey, even as far as Norway in Scandinavia = ME :P

C ya, Misa :)

      Lots of tests

      By trents · Posted

      Was a biopsy done when you had your gastroscopy? Concerning your anemia, are you B12 deficient? It's nearly impossible to get sufficient B12 if you are a vegetarian unless you take supplements.

      And I’m anaemic, however I’m also female and vegetarian. I had an iron trans a couple of years ago however it’s starting to dwindle and taking supplements doesn’t seem to work. I can’t seem to absorb it.

      Lots of tests

      By Suzi374 · Posted

      Hi, I attended a neurologist appt last Tuesday, which I nearly cancelled, due to ongoing numbness and tingling in toes to mid foot. One of the first things he asked was ‘are you celiac’. I’m not. He thought all reflexes were ok but at the last minute decided on nerve conduction tests which were low normal. He was a little confused as he felt they should be better and tried a new set of probs, all the time, giving me multiple shocks which were not enjoyable lol. Anyway, he’s now ordered tests for myeloma, and all the vitaminy things that so many of you mention on here, also tests looking for autoimmune responses. I already have Hashimotos. Interestingly, to me, but maybe someone out there can relate or knows more than i do, although I was a nurse, but ED not ‘weird symptoms’  nurse. Anyway back to the interesting thing, I took duramine in 2013 to lose weight which caused a massive panic attack when I stopped taking it and half my hair fell out. I only took it for a week but it was horrible and I regret it. It triggered ongoing panic attacks which are horrendous. So I feel like I’m a bit crazy. Then in 2020 I had this sudden onset of horrible pain when trying to eat a cinnamon roll. It continued and I lost around 20 kgs. I had two gastroscopes and a colonoscopy and they were all normal. I scored a barium swallow and CT angiogram. All normal. The pain subsided a little but I was left with reflux and an awful feeling that I couldn’t get air when I ate some foods. This was not anxiety.  The anxiety was separate and I still maintain this. This was something to do with eating. It was like the air was thick but I wasn’t short of breath. I just had the sensation I was, then it triggered anxiety. Anyway, I had other weird things- couldn’t bend knees to shave legs in shower lol. Knees felt stiff and swollen but they weren’t. Knee WOUld swell up randomly but mri showed minimal issues. A bit of a meniscus degeneration but insignificant. Then the buzzing sensations in my head, the feeling like someone was stabbing me with something sharp. So now, I pre empted his tests, although I don’t think I’m celiac because it should have come up on gastroscopy, I’ve gone off gluten. Since Tuesday last week so 9 days. Since then I don’t appear to be as constipated, I realised I got through today without a nap and I’m not tired, maybe it’s just today and not related but I get very tired normally and sleep straight after work often, I can bend my knees and shave my legs lol, the buzzing vibrating has gone from my head, I had to call and ambulance as my heart decided we were off on a run, but we weren’t running and I’ve been a bit twitchy at bed time when trying to sleep, reflux is improving, I did get the weird suffocating feeling a bit when eating today but not as bad normall. Tingling and numbness still present and I felt like it moved up my legs a bit today but I’m a bit jittery. So I don’t know if it’s celiac disease or a gluten intolerance but I think, and it may be wishful thinking because my symptoms do make life a bit challenging, but maybe I’m feeling better. I don’t feel as cloudy. My thinking feels crisper. Like there’s no buzzing and I’m not fighting to break through the cloudiness now. I hope so much that this may help me feel a bit better moving forward. It would be a miracle as I really have struggled to work and parent and keep the house clean and I’m always anxious and exhausted.  If you get this far, please tell me if you you can relate to any of the above. Oh and tonsils out 5 years ago but before that antibiotics multiple times a year, sometimes intramuscular because they were so bad.  Op was meant to take 30 mins, it took 1.5 hours due to size of them.

      Lymph nodes

      By Smith-Ronald · Posted

      Enlarged lymph nodes in neck and groin with celiac are not uncommon. They can take time to reduce even after going gluten-free. Monitoring is key.
