Delayed Reaction To Gluten?

Is it possible to have a delayed reaction to gluten? My daughter had 2-3 pieces of a dish that had gluten in it on a Tuesday, and didn't complain of a stomach ache until Friday and Saturday. It was at its worst Saturday night. She's only been on the diet since August, and this was the first known exposure.

Thanks,

Lisa

I am sorry to hear that your daughter is sick. It is a horrible feeling to watch your kids not feeling well.

For me, the reaction is within an hour to an hour and a half. However, for my Mom (not confirmed celiac disease just feels better gluten-free) her reaction can not appear for several days.

I think each of our bodies is so different it is hard to come up with a solid answer.

It could well be. How old is your dd? When we first realized my son was allergic to soy, the first symptoms we noticed were typically 3-4 days after soy ingestion. As he got older, and we became more savvy to subtle (and not so subtle) early symptoms, we found we could tell within 12-24 hours that he'd eaten some. Symtoms are still worst for him 3-4 days out though.

I have Type II, Delayed Food Reactions - gluten among many. I have reactions anywhere from a couple of hours to several days. As the symptoms are not indentical for each reactive food I can tell (usually) what set it off - therefore know how long a time from exposure. Claire

Dd is turning 4 next week. We thought maybe it was a virus because she had red dots (raised) all over her body and that's what the GI NP said it probably was. But now she's complaining of stomach aches again. Her stomach looks bigger (both my husband and I noticed this independently) and she keeps complaining about her stomach hurting, and even got teary a few times. So maybe this is exposure? I have no idea and also of course don't know how she could have gotten exposed. This is so hard!

My reactons can be delayed. Also, she may have had mild symptoms for a few days before the reaction got bad.

      So far 3 months in - worsening symptoms. I have had the worst constipation in my life and I am primarily eating naturally gluten-free foods like potatoes, eggs, salad with homemade dressing, corn tortillas, etc. I hate gluten-free bread and pasta so I don't eat it. Occasionally I eat gluten-free almond flour crackers. As stated in the post, I don't have any vitamin deficiency. I was already tested.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      Talk to your  Talk to your provider about testing for vitamin and mineral deficiency.  celiac disease causes malabsorption and eventually malnutrition.  Especially vitamin D. Having the gallbladder removed seems to be a common step on the way to a Celiac Disease Diagnosis,  Gallbladder is a sympton of deficient Choline. Eggs and red meat are the primary source..Choline makes up a majority of the bile salts.  The bile gets thick, doesn't get enough into intestine to digest fats well.  Can eventually back up into gallbladder, cause gallstones.  Without bile, bowel movements can become hard. Try to avoid all processed foods while you are healing, The gluten-free foods are not fortified with vitamins and use various ingredients to mimic fat that bothers many Celiacs.  Choose vegatables with low omega 6.  Optimum omega 6 to omega 3 ratio is less than 3:1.  Wheat flour is 22:1.  Grass fed milk is 1:1.   Commercial Dairies milk is 5:1.  They feed wheat, rye and barley Gluten as part of the food mix.

      Your DGP-G is also high. The thing to do now would be to trial the gluten-free diet for a few months to see if there is improvement in symptoms.
