How long does it take before you notice you've eaten something with Gluten?

An example, yesterday I ate an Apple Fritter for breakfast and about 7PM, I got

sick. So...2 hours, 4 hours, etc...anyone?

For me it can be an instantaneous reaction, or it can take hours, or days. I don't know why it varies like that, but it does. If you got sick at 7pm it very well could have been from your breakfast.

My gluten reactions start, mild gas, about 2-3 hours later. However, about 5 hours later I am in horrible pain with cramping, horrible gas, and D and the next day I have brain fog - which could either be the glutening or the meds I take to get by. My system then takes days - up to a week - before I can even consider that I am back to normal.

Funny because my dairy, soy, corn, etc. reactions tend to hit within 15-30 minutes which is one way I can tell a glutening apart from the rest.

A gluten reaction for me is fairly predictable. It starts about 2 hours after the ingestion. The first signs are stomach rumbling and gas that lead to D.

Interesting this matches my symptoms exactly. I also feel kinda and groggy for a couple hours after

eating something glutened. But I can certainly relate to the rumbling tummy and follow on symptoms...

The groggyness (?) is probably a combination of fatigue and brain fog--I get that, too. The rumbling stomach is the dead giveaway for me because that is the only time that it happens.

Dizziness/brain fog can start as early as 15-30 minutes. Stomach noises can start in 1-2 hours. Intestinal cramping and slight diahhreah starts in 8-12 hours, usually. Fatigue starts in 12-24 hours. Severity varies greatly from episode to episode.

This fits so well with my symptoms it is uncanny. I've had this on and off for like..ever. I never knew I wasn't "normal".

It's not that it's normal, it's just that we learn to live with the symptoms. It happens over time, in some cases, and after a while we forget what "normal" actually feels like.

exactly. I didn't know it wasn't normal either. my doc pretty much said "yep, you get so used to something, it becomes 'normal' for you. you don't even think of mentioning it. but it's not 'normal' for people in general. so we'll test you."

you may not have had celiac all your life - it can be triggered at any time. but you do need to get tested now.

I thought it was normal too until the off and on symptoms became part of my daily existance. Then it was at least 10 years before I was diagnosed. I get dizzy within a few minutes, then the tummy rumbles and gas, then I get GERD symptoms, the next day joint and muscle pain arrive along with a truely vile depression that will hit along with obsessive thoughts of every horrible thing you could imagine. The depression only lasts 1 to 2 days but it is overwhelming while it is there. Finally 1 to 3 days later I get violent D. It takes about 2 weeks for me before the joint and muscle pain and fatigue and brain fog are gone.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Fighting for a name

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.
