Two Days Until A Reaction?


Stacie H.

Recommended Posts

My DH is not feeling well tonight...crampy, gassy, uncomfortable.

We've been gluten-free for just over a week, and we were seeing some improvement in him. Monday we went to my parents' house for a cookout. It was the first time in over a year that he's felt well enough to eat anywhere else but our house. My parents cooked hamburgers/hotdogs, and while I suggested he just have a hamburger patty w/ no bun, DH was stubborn and insisted that one bun wouldn't hurt him.

He's an adult, so what could I do? Could he be sick now because of something he ate 2 days ago? I know that around here, we've been totally gluten-free since going to my parents' house, so it's nothing he ate here.

If so, I hope this will be a lesson for him!! He has not been tested yet, but I'm certain now that he has a gluten-tolerance issue.

Hi, and welcome to this board. Yes, he could definitely get a reaction two days later! Sometimes it takes me a whole week for the diarrhea to start after getting glutened. A lot of people get a delayed reaction. A whole bun contains a lot of gluten, even a crumb could have caused a reaction.

Very rarely do I have a reaction w/in hours of eating something that has hidden gluten. Usually it's 24 hours which makes it harder to pinpoint the cuplrit. I know you are frustrated at your dh for doing this to himself, but it's a very natural reaction in the first stages of coping with celiac. (been there, done that. )After awhile he will equate the forbidden items with stomach distress and realize that the pleasure of eating the wrong things is greatly outweighed by the problems they cause.

Hello, I have been sick since I was 7. In January of 2005 I stopped eating wheat and gluten. I noticed the difference immedietly. In the begining I to sometimes would not get a reaction for at least 24 hours. Now its an immediete reaction. His tloerence is higher now than it will be. He will notice the difference. He has to stick with it. This disease is deadly if not taken care of. I am 30 years old and now know i will be able to have children one day. This disease was killing me slowly and unoticed. Its very challenging but it will all come together. Good Luck

      You might try Heallix.  It's a silver solution with fulvic acid. I just put the solution on with a cotton ball.  It seemed to stop the nerve pain. Again,  not in your eyes or ears.   Go to heallix.com to read more about it and decide for yourself Also,  I do think nerve and celiac combined have a lot to do with your susceptibility to shingles breaking out.

      Celiac disease requires both genetic potential and a triggering stress event to activate the genes. Otherwise it remains dormant and only a potential problem. So having the genetic potential is not deterministic for celiac disease. Many more people have the genes than actually develop the disease. But if you don't have the genes, the symptoms are likely being caused by something else.

      Yes, i pulled raw ancetry data and saw i have 2/3 markers for DQ2.2 but have heard from friends in genetics that this raw data can be wildly innacurate

      Thanks, I’m still dealing with the pain and tingling and itching and feeling like bugs or something crawling around on my face and scalp. It’s been a miserable experience. I saw my eye doc last week, the eye itself was okay, so they didn’t do anything. I did take a 7 day course of an antiviral. I’m hoping for a turnaround soon! My life is full of stress but I have been on / off the gluten free diet for the last year , after being talked into going back on gluten to have a biopsy, that looked okay. But I do have positive antibody levels that have been responsive  to a gluten free diet. I can’t help but wonder if the last year has caused all this.

      I don't think any apps are up to date, which is exactly why this happened to you. Most of the data in such apps is years old, and it doesn't get updated in real time. Ultimately there is no substitution for learning to read labels. The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.
