Hi @trents Two things can happen: 1/ For a very small gluten hit, I will get a slightly sore stomach for a few days, maybe a day or two following the glutening, and (TMI warning) maybe slightly loose BMs with mucus for a couple of days. 2/ For a substantial glutening, and thankfully it's only happened once in recent years, I get bad chills... -

@par18, the day will come, and it may not be too far away, when medications will be available to diffuse the celiac reaction and allow celiacs to consume gluten to one degree or another. Undoubtedly, insurance companies will require an official diagnosis before covering such. On that day, those of us who already have an official diagnosis will be saying to...- celiac disease

Hi @trents Two things can happen: 1/ For a very small gluten hit, I will get a slightly sore stomach for a few days, maybe a day or two following the glutening, and (TMI warning) maybe slightly loose BMs with mucus for a couple of days. 2/ For a substantial glutening, and thankfully it's only happened once in recent years, I get bad chills, followed by vomiting, and my heartbeat is all over the place and I can hardly stand. It's pretty extreme. That happens within about 2 hours of eating the gluten. I might feel slightly dizzy for a couple of days after the glutening episode. Interestingly I've just been out to a cafe which hitherto has made a big thing about how their french fries are cooked in a separate fryer. I shared some with a friend and they were served with chilli sauce, jalapenos, cheddar cheese and fried onions. Definitely not health food! Anyway, I'd eaten half when I realised I'd not checked the menu to ensure that this dish is still gluten-free - and it turns out it isn't!!! They've changed the ingredients and the fried onions are now cooked with wheat. I came home expecting to feel dreadful as I had no idea how much gluten I have consumed but so far if anything I feel just little queasy. I think I'd have thrown up by now had there been a lot of gluten in the onions.

It might be wise to start him on small amounts and work up to 10g. Monitor how he reacts. Some people simply cannot complete the gluten challenge because it makes them too ill. By the way, you can buy powdered gluten in health food stores, at least here in the states you can. With a food scale, it would be easy to measure the amount being consumed in a day. I'm not sure what the intensity of reaction to gluten tells you about what's actually going on with regard to celiac disease. I mean there are some celiacs like me who don't seem to react to minor exposure amounts but who get violently ill with larger exposures. Then there are celiacs who get some kind of reaction to even the tiniest amount of exposure but don't necessarily get violently ill. And how the reaction manifests itself is very different for different people. Some, like me, experience emesis and diarrhea. Others just get brain fog. Others get joint pain. It's all over the map.

That's interesting - that's a lot of gluten! I'll be very curious to see how my son responds to the gluten. In some ways, I guess having a strong reaction would tell us something? It's tough navigating this as a parent and having it be not so clear cut ;\ -
Welcome to the celiac.com community, @JamieAnn! Glad you had a good experience at your local Jersey Mike's. In the town I live in all we have is Subway and they stopped offering gluten free buns. So, I can't eat there anymore. Oh, more recently there has come to our town a Firehouse sub shop and, according to the Internet, they offer gluten free buns but I haven't tried them yet. For super sensitive celiacs, cross-contamination in handling at these sub shops may also be a problem.
