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.

      Advice while waiting for testing

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I'm so sorry you're going through this—the "gluten challenge" is notoriously brutal, and it's awful to deliberately make yourself sick when you've already found the answer. For the joint pain, many people find that over-the-counter anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen can help take the edge off, and using heating pads or warm baths can provide some direct relief for the aches. For the digestive misery, stick to simple, easy-to-digest foods (like plain rice, bananas, and bone broth) and drink plenty of water and electrolytes to stay hydrated. It feels like the longest month ever, but you are doing the right thing to get a clear diagnosis, which can be crucial for your long-term health and getting the proper care. Hang in there; you can get through this! This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Daura Damm (a sponsor here) uses AN-PEP enzymes and filtering in their brewing process to reduce/remove gluten, and it actually tests below 10ppm (I've see a document where they claim 5ppm).

      How Come Gluten Didnt Bother Me In Italy

      By trents · Posted

      This topic has come up before on this forum and has been researched. No GMO wheat, barley and rye are commercially available in the USA. Any modifications are from hybridization, not laboratory genetic modification. Better toleration of wheat, barley and rye products in other countries is thought to be due to use of heirloom varieties of these cereal grains as opposed to the hybrids used in the USA which contain much larger amounts of gluten.

      Welcome to the forum @Ceekay! If you have celiac disease then you can't eat wheat in other countries because it would still contain gliadin, the harmful part of the grain. Have you been diagnosed with celiac disease?

      I can eat wheat products safely and without discomfort when traveling to Mexico, Outer Mongolia, and Japan. I feel that US wheat, barley, and rye are grown from genetically-modified seeds that have had something unhealthy done to them, that causes a bad reaction in many of us.
