Reaction time to gluten free bread

My friend has all the symptoms of Celiac but tests came back negative.  He is seeing a specialist next month but until then we are trying to keep his diet clean but interesting.  When he eats clean he is fine. However,  I made him some gluten free bread and he didn't react at all.  And yesterday  (24 hours after he ate the bread) we went to a gluten free cafe and he had a pie.  Almost immediately he reacted with severe problems in his upper digestive tract and this morning he has got severe problems in his lower intestine.  

We know that the pie cause problems but my question is could the bread also be a problem - would it take that long (24 hours) for a reaction to hit his lower intestine?  We will keep him on clean eating and then try again with the gluten free bread but Id prefer not to poison him again.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

do you know the ingredients of the pie crust and filling?  There could be a lot of ingredients.  he could happen to have a problem with one or more of them, not related to Celiac.

If your friend is going to be tested then he MUST BE EATING A GLUTEN DIET or the tests will be skewed. See:

If he's not eating gluten, the tests can come back negative even if he has celiac. You have to be eating gluten daily to get accurate results (12 wks for blood test, 2 weeks for biopsy). Also, people who have trouble digesting FODMAPs will do better gluten free because wheat is high in FODMAPs. Some fruits are also high in FODMAPs, so that could explain him getting sick after pie if it's not gluten. Basically, it's better to eat a standard diet before seeing a specialist and getting tests done or you could confuse results. Best of luck to your friend!

I've been celiac for 2 years, and just had a bad reaction to GF granola. Did some reading and determined that I may also need to avoid grains. That might be the problem for him. It's worth looking into. Check out the RealFoodForager.com website for info - especially the Westin A. Price (WAP) diet info (eye opening) and paleo diet.

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By Aussienae · Posted

      Mine is definitely triggered by inflammation and stress! I do also have arthritis in my spine, but the pain is more in my pelvic area. Im sure i have other food intolerances or other autoimmune isues but the more I focus on it and see doctor after doctor, it just gets worse.  Best thing is get of Gluten! (I also avoid lactose). Try to limit stress and anything that causes inflammation in your body.

      Constant low back, abdominal and pelvic pain!

      By ButWhatCanIEat · Posted

      Good morning,   I got an email about replies to this post. Some of my doctors had blamed a slipped disc for the pain I had and that contributes, but after meeting with a gastroenterologist AGAIN and trying some lifestyle modifications, I found out I have IBS and can't tolerate corn or excessive fructose to any degree. Cutting out corn AFTER having cut out all gluten containing products was a real pain but I feel much better now!

      Isolated DPG-Iga

      By trents · Posted

      So, I contacted Scott Adams, the author of that article and also the creator/admin of this website, and pointed out to him the need to clarify the information in the paragraph in question. He has now updated the paragraph and it is clear that the DGP-IGA does serve the purpose of circumventing the false negatives that IGA deficiencies can generate in the tTG-IGA antibody test.

      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.
