Time from eating gluten until symptoms come?

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.

      How to keep water down?

      I'm a minor under my parents roof, and they absolutely refuse to take me to the ER for anything celiac related, and I do not trust myself to drive at the moment. I'll try to convince them once more, though, thank you for replying

      How to keep water down?

      Get someone to take you to the local ER and get some IV fluids on board. You already are or are at risk for serious dehydration. If you have no one who can transport you or you are too weak to make the trip in a car, call 911.

      Hi, I don't know if this is the right topic, but I've been glutened and I'm having a horrible time trying to keep even a sip of water -or any liquid- down. I've gotten to the point of which I'm having dry-heaving episodes because there's nothing left to vomit, and it's incredibly painful and I'm so weak and lightheaded as a result. If I try even taking the...

I've gotten to the point of which I'm having dry-heaving episodes because there's nothing left to vomit, and it's incredibly painful and I'm so weak and lightheaded as a result. If I try even taking the tiniest sip of water, doesn't matter how long after I vomit, I start feeling nauseous and I no longer have the energy to try fighting keeping it down. Is there anything I can do to try keeping it down? I've taken prescribed zofran and dicyclomine already.

      Working in a kitchen with gluten?

      By PixieSticks · Posted

      Hi yes! I was diagnosed 10 years ago through a biopsy. I’ve been gluten free ever since but no one I’m around is gluten free. I sometimes wore a surgical mask in the kitchen. but I believe particles were still getting through. I’ll definitely look into n95 instead. thanks for the reply.
