Gluten Free Nerd?

I am new to this site. Diagnosed with celiac disease and most of my knowledge etc has come from personal research. I hope you can help me with this...how long after you're "glutened" do you get sick? Also, when everyone says "sick" what do they mean...throwing up? Runs? I am trying to pin down how long after I'm glutened I have a reaction. My reaction is always the same...burps (this is really gross) that taste like rotten eggs, the runs, throwing up and them so and and so forth. For three years I had no problems then last year this reaction came back and in the past 3 months I have had these episodes almost once every 2-3 weeks. Any and all input would be greatly appreciated.

Each person's reaction is different ...

If I get enough gluten (say, about 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of wheat), then about 20 minutes later I'll get the runs and will be in the bathroom several times for the next few hours.

No matter how little I get, I have various different ailments that follow over the next several days, including dry eyes, inability to concentrate. neurological problems, memory loss, irritability and depression, etc.

Eventually you learn to map out your own reaction and will recognize when you are having one, even when you don't get enough gluten in you to make you head for the bathroom.

I can get my reactions up to a couple days later, and every time they have been differnt, but one thing is always in common, my thyroid goes comepltely out of whack and takes quite a while to get back to normal and i usually need to change meds once and a while. My symptoms are very different evrey reaction, with a lot of gluten i can get a mild anaphalyxis and not so much i start throwing up and get hives sometimes get runs, and always get the worst heartburn to the point where i cannot lie down and must sleep sitting up.

So yeah, every person is differnt this is just based on how your body reacts to the gluten adn how it processes it and how long it takes you to process it and when it gets to your intestines.

I get dizziness/brain fog in 15-30 minutes, intestinal cramping/some pain in 4-8 hours, intestinal noises and diarhhea in 8-12 hours or so. Fatigue sets in within a day or so. This is approximate for me, and it can vary.

Well, my first symptom is usually a bad stomach ache, within an hour or so. Next I'll get acid reflux. By the next day all my joints ache, I get this film over my eyes that makes it hard to see, my eyes will be tearing from the corners, I will get a bad backache, headache, my knees will buckle on the stairs. Next I will be swelling up (feet and hands especially), then I get bloating and gas, I can't think and get forgetful, my eyes won't stay focused properly (feels like I need a new prescription for my glasses), the Tourette tics get much worse, I am itchy all over, I get rashes. And now, after being gluten-free for eight months, the diarrhea doesn't come until nearly a week later, and could last for another week. I am probably forgetting some, my glutened symptoms are crazy, and I don't think I've bothered yet to catalogue them all (might take several pages :rolleyes: ).

For me, I find that I will be throwing up with 30 minutes of barley ingestion, and acutely ill for the following 6-8 hours, and flu-like for the following day or teo, with brian fog, etc. With malt extract/barley extract, I find that I become very nauseous after approx 6 hours, and get very bad abdominal pains and run. Wheat gluten on the other hand always takes nearly exactly 48 hours to take affect, and is more chronic than acute, and leaves me feeling sick, with stomach upsets, and brain fog for about 5 days, but its about 2 weeks before im back to normal. This is the same with my Dad, who has been coeliac a lot longer than me - its nearly 20 years for him now, and we have the exact same responses and times, so it is very obvious if we have eaten the same conaminated food. You'll soon figure out your own response to different types of gluten, etc as it is amlmost impossible not to trip up with the gluten free diet now and again.

Good luck :)

My biological father and I get back aches and leg pain. That's what's funny, for 20 years he thought it was a bad back, it always hurt after he ate.

My doctor told me I didn't sit up straight. haha

I also get the runs really bad and sometimes I get nauseous bad. I get brain fog, too. I usually attribute it to working with 8 year olds all day, but it's probably the gluten, since I'm not an expert on the diet yet.

      I have trouble with nausea. It often starts when I’m anxious about something (home repairs, sick dog) but continues long after the home is repaired or the dog is healthy again. When it happens I eat less and lose weight.  My gastroenterologist suggested ginger or peppermint tea. I don’t know if that will work or not because I haven't had the problem since she suggested it.

      Hello  I'm not sure what to think . Seems no matter what I do I get sick. I had some yogurt with only 2 grams of sugar and is labeled gluten free ...the strawberry version seemed to really set me off My jaw is burning as well as my stomach and my feet.  Horrible pain..plus acid reflux and nausea... sensitivity to touch pain. ..yikes !! I don't know if it's from the lactose in the yogurt or if I'm getting an ulcer  This condition can make you question yourself quite a bit.  Then if you are not sure the anxiety comes 😞 Does any of these symptoms sound familiar to anyone? The neuropathy is quite intense.  What do you eat or drink after this happens  Open to suggestions  Thank you

      Of course my son is on a 100% gluten free diet.  I wish his symptoms were not debilitating as there are right now.  He cannot work, even when a miniscule of cross contamination occurs.  It's not just GI distress, but intense fatigue, brain fog, depression, anxiety, insomnia, etc.  It's literally neurological inflammation.  Not to be taken lightly here.  We have sought out many other possible ways to cope during this window of time (8 months!!!!)  without success.   AN-PEP does not help and seems like studies on this are not well researched.  So, we are trying this out because research shows some promising results.  And, all participants showed no cravings afterwards, no signs of addiction.  The patch is different than the oral route such as smoking, vaping, gum, pouch, etc.

      Have you tried AN-PEP enzymes, for example, GlutenX (who is a sponsor here)? A lot of research has shown that it can break down small amounts of gluten in the stomach, before it reaches the intestines. It might be a better approach than risking nicotine addiction, and the questionable research around this. I also hope that he’s trying to be 100% Gluten-Free.

      Hi all  I was diagnosed Coeliac a few years ago and follow a gluten free diet. The list of foods that I can eat without a problem grows shorter on a weekly basis. [I also have diabetes and asthma also].  BUT the reason I am posting this is because I seem to struggle with nausea quite a lot, which is really quite debilitating, and I was wondering if others suffer from nausea, even if following a gluten free diet.
