Glutened and symptoms

[Pinkpixie]

I was accidentally glutened on Sunday diarrhea on Thursday. My husband said it can’t be the gluten because it was 4 days ago.   I say it is. Who is right

I think it would be unlikely that the D wouldn't set in until after 4 days.

That is how it happens for me, I start feeling tired and muscles hurt, stomach bloats , I get rashes, then 3 to 4 days after all that I get D.

Depends on your transit time.  Gluten causes me to have gastroparesis (where your intestinal muscles don't squeeze the food through as they normally do).  So whatever is ahead of the gluten slows down or stops moving.  And there's bloating.  And about two to four days later, that food comes out, with diarrhea behind it from the gluten containing food, or just one big mess.

Keeping a food/mood/poo'd journal can help.  Or you could eat beets after a glutening.  When you see the color change, you know the beets are out and that can give you an idea of transit time.  Compare this  to transit time when not glutened. 

(This was recommended by a nurse friend.  Sort of a do-it-yourself Celiac Guinea Pig Experiment.)

Pinkpixie,

Here is a couple articles that might help you and add to what Knitty Kitty said.

I had researched this topic a few months ago for someone else who had a similar question so I bookmarked these articles to help the next person who had similar questions.

But I am just now getting around to responding.....I hope it is not too late to help you.

I hope this is helpful but it is not medical advise.
