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 :)

      Nausea

      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...

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      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...

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      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-F...

      Nausea

      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...

      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
