How Quickly Do You Feel Your Symptoms?

We were away and did eat out at a restaurant, but that was on Friday night. No symptoms at all until this afternoon, about an hour after she ate sushi. We had watched the lady prepare the sushi in the grocery store (do they soak that seaweed in something other than water???), and we used the gluten-free soya sauce, but less than an hour later WHAM. The wet farts started. Poor kid. She went through a few pairs of underwear and then suggested that she simply go without underwear for a while :( . She did a (pretty normal) bm and had a round belly until bedtime. Bath helped her sore butt.

She said she could "taste" the gluten? She had an itchy throat when going to bed.. that's a new one for us. Ever experienced this?

These are the only different things she's had. The restaurant we've gone to before with great success, but it seems kind of soon to get the wet farts from the sushi???

What do you think?

Okay, this is my opinion. It is very possible that the Sushi was the culprit. It is also possible that it wasn't a glutening at all. The itchy throat is something I get when I eat something I'm allergic to. Gluten won't cause it for me.

What I'm saying is, that your daughter might be allergic to something other than gluten, that was in the sushi. Since I have no idea what is in it, I can't even begin to guess at what the culprit might have been.

Sorry I can't be more helpful than that. I hope others have better suggestions. I hope your daughter will feel better tomorrow.

What was on the sushi? :(

I feel the effects pretty much straight away or within 20 mins. The last time I was glutened was when I ate a small tiny piece of pickled ginger on my sushi. I'd never eaten it before (because the pickling process is dodgy on my stomach) and forgot that it was there when I popped a piece of sushi in my mouth.

Within two hours, I start to feel that I have been glutened, as in sore bloated stomach, and that progresses to the other syptoms.

My daughter feels bloated and has a tummy ache within 5 minutes. She is vomiting within 20.

I get symptoms immediately but some people get delayed reactions while others get no symptoms at all. Depends on the person

I begin to feel symptoms in about 2 hours. It's worse the next 2 days and then hopefully begins to get better.

My symptoms begin about 15 hours later - if it's from eating supper, say at 6:00 pm, then around 9:00 the next morning the D and cramps begin. This can continue up to 3 days.

I've had a reaction within 15 minutes of ingesting, after I have the meditation hour in the bathroom I'll still have bowel pain and nausea for another 2 days to a week depending on what it was & how much.

Other times I just get the painful twinges in my bowel off & on for a few days (I think this thends to be if I got CC)

      Hi, thank you for the reply. Unfortunately, no other antibody tests were ordered. I am a 32-year-old male. About two months ago, I ate pancakes and then developed severe diarrhea that lasted the entire day. At night, I became unconscious due to fluid loss and was admitted to the ER, where I received IV fluids. Two days later, I ate bread again and once more developed severe diarrhea. I ended up in the ER again and received IV fluids. In my country, Pakistan, doctors are unfortunately not very thorough, so they treated me for a stomach infection. I visited three or four doctors, including a gastroenterologist, but it seemed like they just wanted to keep me on medications and IV fluids. Eventually, I did some digging myself and started connecting the dots. For years, I’ve had excessive gas buildup and frequent loose stools, but I never paid much attention to it. I also cannot easily digest dairy products. Two years ago, I had a CBC test that showed iron deficiency. My doctor told me to eat more meat and said it was nothing serious. However, for the past five years, I’ve also had severe motion sickness, which I never experienced before. Whenever I get on a bus or in a car, I sometimes lose consciousness for 10–20 seconds and wake up sweaty, and occasionally I feel the need to vomit. After more research on the internet, I came across gluten and celiac disease, so I got two related tests (TTG-IgA & TTG IgG) done along with a stool test and another CBC. The stool test showed weakly positive blood. Ever since eating those pancakes and bread, I’ve had a burning sensation in my gut. My doctor reviewed my tests, he told me to completely stop eating gluten and started me on IV fluids for 20 days, saying that I had severe inflammation in my gut. It has now been two months since I quit gluten, and I’m still not sure whether this is celiac disease or gluten intolerance. I don’t really trust doctors in Pakistan, so I thought I might get some help here.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SamAlvi! Were there any other antibody tests ordered? Particularly, was there a "total IGA" test ordered to check for IGA deficiency. When people are IGA deficient, celiac panel IGA test scores, such as the TTG-IGA, are likely not valid. If a total IGA test was not ordered, I would request such to be done. Note: "Total IGA" goes by other names as well. I will include a primer on celiac disease antibody testing which does a good job in covering the nomenclature variations connected with the various tests. Elevated IGG scores can certainly indicate celiac disease but they are more likely than elevated IGA tests to be caused by something else.

      Thank you— yes, valid and essential— The issue either doctors is that every one I have tried to talk to about this has essentially rolled their eyes and dismissed me as a hypochondriac, which gets discouraging. I believe a diagnosis would help me to be taken seriously by doctors as well as being validating, but can carry on without it.    There are many, probably most people in my area of my age and gender, who avoid gluten, but many just avoid it casually— eating the occasional plate of wheat pasta or a delicious-looking dessert, or baking cookies with wheat flour for gatherings.  That is not an option for me. I don’t eat other people’s cooking or go to restaurants that do not have strict cross- contamination procedures. It can be boring and lonely, and people do look at me as if I am being a bit dramatic but weeks of symptoms after a single small exposure has taught me to respect my experience.    Thank you very much for your response— sometimes I just need to hear that I am not crazy—

      You’re not crazy—some people have severe neurological and physical reactions to gluten, not just digestive issues. While testing can be tricky without eating gluten, documenting symptoms and seeing a specialist familiar with atypical celiac or gluten-related disorders can help. Your reactions are real, and it’s valid to be cautious.
