How Long Before Symptoms Show After Being Glutened?

Hello :)

Ill try to make this short. I havent been diagnosed with GI or Celiac. However due to numerous bowel problems for years, ie: pain so bad I was passing out, sweating, D and C movements, bloating etc. I decided to go gluten free. Im CONVINCED I have it, but I dont trust the Doctors due to obvious personal reasons of being diagnosed from everything under the sun that I KNOW I did NOT have!

My first week was great on my new diet. NO pain!!! I get pains ALL the time.

I decided to eat gravy on fries about a week after, immediately I got pain and severe bloating for 9 hours!!!!! Then 3 days later it passed in pain...

I stayed gluten-free free for another 3 weeks. NO problems again! -Im eating dairy though throughout this. No probs with Dairy.

Today I decided to test myself again. I ate some fruit loops and the corner of a wheat and rye cracker... no pains? I can feel a teensy tiny bit of bloating. It doesnt hurt or anything, and it may not even be bloating. Im sitting here waiting for something to happen. lol. Nothings happening. Is this normal? Or maybe I dont have GI? I was hoping this test would convince me 100% but now Im wondering. Should I eat more wheat to see? Im afraid of the pain though if I am and if it shows up later...

Any help would be great. I thought after 3 weeks of being gluten-free free, it would show up quickly if I as much as tasted the corner of bread...

Thank you

I find that the longer I am gluten-free, the longer it takes for me to react (while for some people it is the opposite). Last year I'd have awful D within minutes of eating gluten, while now I get a stomach ache pretty soon, but the D won't start until a whole WEEK later! But it always comes, without fail, eventually, and I'll be miserable for a few days.

How do I know this? :ph34r: Well, I have to admit that I have doubted my self-diagnosis a few times, and got sick of being on this diet and purposely ate something with gluten. I always regretted it soon enough. :blink:

Hello!

Wow THANK YOU kindly xo

Im so pleased to hear this. Im thinking the same thing too in regards self diagnosis. Im actually still sitting here waiting to feel pain lolol... Sounds a bit pathetic but my family thinks its in my head... well their reactions are anyways. They all tell me to get tested. I cant exactly get tested now that Im off gluten because the results arent as good so it wont matter. They dont understand. They think its stress or from eating a junky diet which I do NOT. I eat tons of good healthy raw foods. Im kind of hoping I get the pain in a few days just so I can have a EUREKA moment... once again.... Then I SWEAR I wont do it again... well...

I really appreciate the response. I thought it was an immediate reaction considering I had an immediate reaction a few weeks ago with the gravy.

Much appreciated

Hi,

I?m just learning about this as I go along with the help of the information I read on this board.

Long before I returned to my gluten-free diet I gave up eating sauces and gravies that had been thickened because I suffered terrible pain and D almost immediately after having them.

Maybe you can be more sensitive to gluten in one form than another which in turn causes a variation in reaction times and severity of the reaction itself. Not sure but someone here will be able to give you more accurate advice.

Hello! :)

Thank you! That's a really good point. I never thought of it like that. Well I guess Im going to swear off the gluten again now that I ate some cereal and a bit of cracker and see what happens... Im tempted to eat more. Its like I WANT something to happen NOW so I can say oh yeah... Ugh!

Regards,

Truffles :)

      Going Low-Gluten May Harm Good Gut Bacteria, Researchers Warn

      It's like a double edged sword.......we do one thing to improve a problem and cause another problem. I'd like to think the ultimate cure might be something that would train or modify the body to prevent the damage that gluten causes.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

But if you don't have the genes, the symptoms are likely being caused by something else.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By Ginger38 · Posted

      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.
