Hi,

I just wondered when your symptoms appear after you have eaten gluten? Mine seem to be about 7-8 hours, does this sound like coeliac to you? Waiting on blood tests 

 

thank you

What symptoms are you experiencing?

For me, if I get a good dose of gluten I get violent emesis for 2-3 hours followed by diarrhea for several more hours. These symptoms have their onset with 2-3 hours of eating the gluten, which is about the time it takes for food to be released from the stomach into the small bowel.

About 24 hrs. 
With my grandmother it's 7 days, like clockwork. It must vary a lot.

Of course, it may depend on what particular symptoms you are referencing. Unlike me, some people do not experience emesis and diarrhea from gluten so some symptoms may be more delayed.

Trents, is there anything you've found that helps with the violent emesis and diahrrea? I have the same severe reaction, within an hour usually after being glutened.  Some attacks have lasted for hours, causing dehydration and weakness.  Thankfully, it rarely happens, as I am very careful, but when it does....horrible.

No I haven't. And the gut spasms are so painful I almost want to die. I don't feel like I could keep anything down even if there was something that would indeed help. It would have to be an injectable. I just lay on the floor in a ball of pain and get up to hang over the toilet and puke some more. It is obvious my body is pulling out all the stops to purge me of the toxin and I wouldn't want to interfere with that.

Ah, then I'm not alone in my reaction.  Much more severe than the typical celiac, from what I've researched, and harder to handle once it hits.  Wish there was something that helped, because it's debilitating when it occurs.

The good news is that for me I think it takes a significant exposure to gluten to make me sick like that. My sense is that trace amounts don't make me acutely ill. Last year my wife made some wheat biscuits for herself and some gluten-free biscuits for me and it turned out they looked exactly the same. I accidently ate a couple three of hers one night and it made me very ill as I have described.

The bad news is I react violently like that to other things that do not have gluten. Chia seeds, hemp groats and unwashed quinoa for example. I think it must be the saponins in the seed coats. Avocados seem to make me ill as well. Some of these are things, even after Celiac diagnosis, I used to be able to eat with out issue but more recently they make me ill. I suspect I suffer from histamine intolerance.

Carousel Lady,

Here is a thread that might help you.

https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/cytokines-trigger-gut-reaction-in-people-with-celiac-disease-r4892/

You might try taking Riboflavin....it has been used in Cycling Vomiting....

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26226892/

It could also be a Thiamine deficiency. Here is a study about it.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4175961/

I would tell you to take a B-complex but the Thiamine in most B-complexs are not highly absorbed.

Find some Benfotiamine and take with a B-complex with your meals and it might help your Emesis.

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

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @yellowstone! The most common ones seem to be dairy (casein), oats, eggs, soy and corn. "Formed" meat products (because of the "meat glue" used to hold their shape) is a problem for some. But it can be almost anything on an individual basis as your sensitivity to rice proves, since rice is uncommonly a "cross reactor" for celiacs. Some celiacs seem to not do well with any cereal grains.

      By yellowstone · Posted

      What foods can trigger a response in people with gluten sensitivity? I've read that there are foods that, although they don't contain gluten, can cause problems for people with gluten sensitivity because they contain proteins similar to gluten that trigger a response in the body. I've seen that other cereals are included: corn, rice... also chicken, casein. I would like to know what other foods can cause this reaction, and if you have more information on the subject, I would like to know about it. Right now, I react very badly to rice and corn. Thank you.
