How Quickly Can Food Cause D?

I have been gluten free for a month now and I know my symptoms when I get glutened. Today, it wasn't gluten that got me, but I'm not aware of anything else that I have a problem eating.

Here's what happened: I ate an organic hemp seed bar from the health food store. It clearly said gluten free and only had a handful of understandable organic ingredients. 30 minutes later I drank a chocolate boost. I drink the vanilla all the time & I know both flavors are gluten free. 15 minutes after the boost I felt some intestinal gurgling and pain. 15 minutes after that I had to go to the bathroom immediately and had a lot of D. I had a normal bm about 4 hours before having the hemp bar. I don't usually go to the bathroom more than once a day now, unless I have been glutened. Those two items - hemp bar and chocolate boost - are the only things I have eaten today that I haven't had in the past.

Can I assume that one of these two items caused my problems? Is it too quick for them to get thru my system (30 mins to 1 hour)? What came out seemed to be much more than what I ate, so if things were going to come out fine and you eat something bad, does it make all of it come out bad?

I can certainly stay away from both of those, but I want to figure out what didn't agree with my system. I feel fine now and I don't have any other symptoms that I normally get when I've been glutened.

Thanks in advance for any insight.

The company making the chocolate boost may have changed ingredients. Do they have a useful faq?

I talked about this with a GI specialist once. If your body doesn't want whatever you've ingested in it, it can take a mere twenty minutes to shove it out the other side. (thats a pleasant picture). We were discusing in particulat food poisoning or bad food, I was convinced at one point that all my episodes were being caused by "bad" food and that I was just more suseptible to food poisoning.

Since you have only been gluten free for 1 month, your body is still potentially (and probably) healing. It might be that for whatever reason, your body couldn't process it correctly. I know there are many people on this board that it took them awhile to feel normal. I remember eating things that I knew were gluten free but still would have trouble with them (which further confused me!). After a longer period of time being gluten-free, I was able to eat more normally.

It might have been the lactose also...many cannot tolerate lactose/casein to start with, or after they have been glutened.

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Definitely worth speaking to your gastroenterologist about this. My own told me that by using Gaviscon a barrier forms over the contents of the stomach and stops gas and acid irritating the throat. In fact, he said to me that because I found relief using Gaviscon that was a very clear indicator that reflux was the cause of that particular issue. A wedge...

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      I did get the pneumonia vaccine about 4 years ago. I had this amazing allergist who did all those vitamin deficiencies test and told to get that vaccine. Unfortunately she retired. I haven’t been to an allergist in a few years, I’m not sure what my levels are now. I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young...

      Yes I do have acid reflux. I’m not on anything for it at the moment. I sometimes wonder if that’s what it could be because I get heart burn every night. I may revisit my gastrointestinal doctor again. Thanks for the reply

      Anyone else get a lot of upper respiratory infections?

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways. I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux. Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following...

      Since initially getting your D checked a few years ago, has it since rebounded to normal levels? Sounds like at some point you got it checked again.

I did have a pulmonologist who wasn’t concern and said I seemed fine to him that I was young etc. But yes I think I should at the very least get a different opinion. Thank you for your reply

      Hi @HelloFlowersGoodbyeFlour I wonder if you suffer from reflux, as if you do, you may find it could also be irritating your airways.  I shall explain: I have to use a blue inhaler from time to time, and it seems to be related to reflux.  Never had any trouble before my coeliac diagnosis, the reflux seemed to be something that developed following a holiday to France in 2019, where I had been exposed to gluten.    The reflux continued into the autumn and winter, my throat itched to begin with, particularly after meals, but it then that feeling of irritation seemed to spread to my lungs.  I even found it difficult to breathe on occasion. What stopped it in its tracks was using a wedge pillow at night, following a reflux diet (you can find them online), not eating 2-4 hours before bed and also having a dose of Gaviscon Advanced at night, which forms a barrier so that acid/food can't go back up your esophagus.  The throat irritation faded, and then I found it easier to breathe again. Just mentioning in case it could be a contributing factor.
