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 :)

      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.

      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.
