How Long Does It Take You To Show Symptoms After Ingesting Gluten?

I've noticed a lot of people reporting that they can feel it almost immediately. I usually don't feel the bulk of the symptoms until 12 - 24 hours post ingesting, and i was wondering how unusual this was? I went to a friends for thanksgiving last night and ate some things that I probably shouldn't have (they didn't have any gluten ingredients, but they probably were cross contaminated). Now the dizziness and feverish-ness are starting to hit me, along with stomach pains and d. The first symptom I usually get is a migrane, which I woke up with this morning, but I was hoping the other symptoms would decide to stay behind. 

 

I am new to this whole thing, and that's def the last time I eat anything at a friends house. Ew.

I think it is different for everyone. For me, I start to feel a little bit "off" about ten or fifteen minutes after I start eating, and usually I get chills and I get what I call "the doom feeling," which is a sudden feeling in my gut that says "Oh no, something terrible is going to happen. This isn't right." Then I get really, really tired and sort of weak. Sometimes my stomach gets really swollen. Then I get the migraine. Then I feel sick for three or four days with joint pain/constipation/pinching pains in my stomach, mood swings/tiredness/etc. Sometimes the symptoms are slightly different. It just depends. 

 

A lot of people here have also said that their symptoms change over time. I'm not sure that there's any real "normal" as far as symptoms/time frames go. Our bodies are all so different!

      Let me hasten to add that if you will be undergoing an endoscopy/biopsy, it is critical that you do not begin efforts to reduce gluten beforehand. Doing so will render the results invalid as it will allow the small bowel lining to heal and, therefore, obscure the damage done by celiac disease which is what the biopsy is looking for.

      That’s a really tough situation. A few key points: as mentioned, a gluten challenge does require daily gluten for several weeks to make blood tests meaningful, but negative tests after limited exposure aren’t reliable. Dermatitis herpetiformis can also be tricky to diagnose unless the biopsy is taken from normal-looking skin next to a lesion. Some people with celiac or DH don’t react every time they’re exposed, so lack of symptoms doesn’t rule it out. Given your history and family cancer risk, this is something I’d strongly discuss with a celiac-experienced gastroenterologist or dermatologist before attempting a challenge on your own, so risks and benefits are clearly weighed.

      https://celiac.org/glutenexposuremarkers/    yes, two hours after accidents ingesting gluten I am vomiting and then diarrhea- then exhaustion and a headache. see the article above- There is research that shows our reactions.

      Concerning the EMA positive result, the EMA was the original blood test developed to detect celiac disease and has largely been replaced by the tTG-IGA which has a similar reliability confidence but is much less expensive to run. Yes, a positive EMA is very strong evidence of celiac disease but not foolproof. In the UK, a tTG-IGA score that is 10x normal or greater will often result in foregoing the endoscopy/biopsy. Weaker positives on the tTG-IGA still trigger the endoscopy/biopsy. That protocol is being considered in the US but is not yet in place.
