Glutened? Does It Happen This Fast After Eating?

I just ate a meal from a vegetarian restaurant that I thought was gluten free, but now I have a stomach ache and awful indigestion immediately afterward---I feel awful. Is it possible to be glutened so immediately? Argh.

It is possible. I can tell before I leave the restaurant usually.

I can't believe I made such a stupid mistake. I thought the meal was safe and while I was eating it it occured to me that it could have flour in the sauce. I don't know why I didn't ask, and now I'm paying for it. Ugh

This was actually very immediate. Before I was even finished with the meal, actually.

But I am kind of new at this........even though it's been a few years, I think my many mistakes and lack of diligence have caused me to become more sensitive to it, if that makes sense.

If I eat something with direct wheat in it as in a sauce, I will know almost right away, the grumbling tummy starts, a CC issue, usually within 20 minutes. If its a minor glutening, I just have to get it out of my system, usually with a nice long visit to the bathroom, once its out I am ok. If I have a major glutening, the first happens, the visit, then the pain stays and many many runs to the bathroom, and usually cant eat the next day, as all that comes out too.

I hope you feel better. We all make mistakes..

The last time I was glutened I knew it within a few minutes. I had really bad acid stomach. I hope you feel better soon!

I also can tell immedietly.... I just recently was sick from baking and preping wheat pasrties this last weekend. It can be a very sensitive allergy.

I just got glutened by some sour cream. I felt it within 20 minutes after eating it. :(

I too get major indigestion usually, belching and sour stomach.

I find it hard to eat out without getting sick.

      Cristiana, that sounds like a great approach and I will be looking forward to the results. I am in the same boat as you. I don't experience overt symptoms with minor, cross contamination level exposures so I sometimes will indulge in those "processed on equipment that also processes wheat . . ." or items that don't specifically claim to be gluten free but do not list gluten containing grains in their ingredient list. But I always wonder if I am still experiencing sub acute inflammatory reactions. I haven't had any celiac antibody blood work done since my diagnosis almost 25 years ago so I don't really have any data to go by.

      I've been reflecting on this further. The lowest TTG I've ever managed was 4.5 (normal lab reading under 10).  Since then it has gone up to 10.   I am not happy with that.  I can only explain this by the fact that I am eating out more these days and that's where I'm being 'glutened', but such small amounts that I only occasionally react. I know some of it is also to do with eating products labelled 'may contain gluten' by mistake - which in the UK means it probably does! It stands to reason that as I am a coeliac any trace of gluten will cause a response in the gut.  My villi are healed and look healthy, but those lymphocytes are present because of the occasional trace amounts of gluten sneaking into my diet.   I am going to try not to eat out now until my next blood test in the autumn and read labels properly to avoid the may contain gluten products, and will then report back to see if it has helped!

      Hi, I posted before about my son's legs shaking after gluten. I did end up starting him on vit b and happily he actually started sleeping better and longer.  Back to my 4 year old. She had gone back to meltdowns, early wakes, and exhaustion. We tested everything again and her ferritin was lowish again (16) and vit d was low. After a couple weeks on supplements she is cheerful, sleeping better and looks better. The red rimmed eyes and dark circles are much better.   AND her Ttg was a 3!!!!!! So, we are crushing the gluten-free diet which is great. But WHY are her iron and vit d low if she's not getting any gluten????  She's on 30mg of iron per day and also a multivitamin and vit d supplement (per her dr). That helped her feel better quickly. But will she need supplements her whole life?? Or is there some other reason she's not absorbing iron? We eat very healthy with minimal processed food. Beef maybe 1x per week but plenty of other protein including eggs daily.  She also says her tummy hurts every single morning. That was before the iron (do not likely a side effect). Is that common with celiac?
