What Immediate Symptoms Do You Have From Gluten


researchher

Recommended Posts

researchher Rookie

I was just wondering about something I keep hearing. I have not been diagnosed as celiac - I go to the GI at the end of this month. I have been trying to cut out all gluten products, and have messed up almost everyday in small amounts. Boy am I surpised how much it bothers me even in small amounts.

Okay, Okay, My question - I keep hearing from others that many celiacs can tell immediately if there is gluten in something they are eating. How is this possible? Does this happen to anyone? If so what are your symptoms.

When I had more gluten in my diet, my face was flushed and tingling and it would start tingling within 15 minutes of eating something with gluten. Now that I have cut back it isn't doing that anymore and my face is much clearer - Thank you Jesus! The other thing is that my throat would get sore. Well, my throat is always sore anymore - I guess I'm thinking maybe I just have a bug right now causing a sore throat. Other than that, all of my symptoms happen a little later (30 minutes to 3 hours later) - brain fog, diareah, stomach bloating, cramping, etc.

So again what are your immediate gluten responses?

I don't know if you would call it "immediate" but within 20 minutes, I have dizziness, a slight headache, and bowel sounds (rumble in my abdomen). Usually followed by diarrhea within 5 mintues of that, and a THROBBING headache within 5 minutes. I then get some muscle cramps, usually in my legs. That is all general. There are more specific series' of events for certian foods (ie: cross contamination, just those symptoms, and some mild depression for 2 days following, but when I tried a Gluten challenge, the depression was terrible, and I had sucidal thoughts. The more gluten, the more severe the depression, for me, and the longer it lasts.)

Just my experiences.

My reactions weren't immediate to start with. It used to take about two hours to know that I had ingested something I shouldn't have.

But after a year and a half of being gluten free, I think my reaction time has moved to almost immediately, well withing 10 minutes, after I have eaten a meal containing gluten. It starts off with my stomach doing sumersaults and then a general ache and bloated feeling. Then for the following week I feel a bit delicate and my stomach feels a bit out of sorts. My reactions are changing, but I still get the blues with gluten, probably worse now. It is the blues that puts me off gluten the most, and not so much the sore stomach. I can handle that, but I can't handle the depression.

It is always hard for me to tell whether it is gluten or not. I presume it is. I don't deliberately eat gluten, and often it is hard to tell what the offending food was, apart from the fact it was something I'd eaten in the last meal. I presume it is gluten but I can never prove exactly what it was.

I believe the symptoms are very individual For example in my family My daughter gets very ill within about 20 min. She vomits and has diarreah as if she has had food poisoning. She also is bent over in pain. People who are not familiar with this want to drive her to the ER. Myself I have cramping and diarreah also within about 20 min, but not as severe as she has. I have a nephew who just gets headaches, another nephew who acts hyper from gluten. Long term reactions. My father lost weight. I gained weight (bloating) and had severe joint pain along with fatigue. My daughter didn't really gain or lose weight but had trouble focusing and severe abdominal cramps, vomiting, and diarreah. My daughter and I never tested positive through blood tests. She has a gene for gluten sensitivity. I have had no official positive testing but felt immediate improvement through gluten free diet. My father was diagnosed with celiac through biopsy as well as my two nephews.

I did find myself even more sensitive from gluten after I went gluten free. For some reason my left eye gets kind of watery if I ingest gluten almost immediately. My other reactions take longer. The worse is the feeling of body feeling really hot and tingly. I am trying to recover of a week of eating here and there. I was trying to be so careful, but I'm sure CC got me bigtime. I had to go to a graduation party yesterday. I only ate strawberries, watermelon and grapes.

GeoffCJ Enthusiast

I get headaches, and my eyes ache. They almost feel like they are swollen too big for their sockets, though I'm sure that's not the case. That's within 20 minutes of eating. My stomach will be rumbling soon after, and I'll need to use the restroom quickly.

Sometimes, I think in CC situations, I get the headaches and the eyes, but no real immediate stomach issues. When I accidently ate a gluten-filled sauce a few months ago, I was puking within 1/2 hour.

Even a small amount seems to take a day or two to get over. I need to stop eating out, as I seem to be getting glutened every couple weeks.

I haven't actually eaten any gluten on purpose, but I'm pretty sensitive and react to cross contamination.

It takes about 2-3 hours for me to begin to feel the effects. My stomach will begin to rumble, and I will be in the bathroom soon thereafter. This will go on for a day or two.

About the time my stomach is settling down, the anxiety, clumsiness, moodiness, brain fog and general fatigue set in, along with reflux. It takes at least a couple weeks for this to abate.

I'm still learning, but I think my immediate reaction is severe brain fog and dizziness. Later I get C, and headaches. I walk around feeling like heavy lead is going through my veins, and my brain feels heavy for the rest of the day at least.

Within a few minutes if I have injested enough I will have the room jerk suddenly, it feels like I am falling but I am not. My tummy will start to rumble also in the first hour or so. Within 24 hours I will usually have stomach and back pain, a migraine and deep depression. This will lift by day 3 when the D hits full force. I then have about 2 more weeks of being off balance and tired.

kenlove Rising Star

I usually break out within 10 minutes. Small blisters and rash on my hands that move up the arms.

Within a half hour I get cramps and become lethargic. In my case it's always been accidental over the past 1.5 years. I try to track down the problem so as not to repeat it. The last csae a week ago from which i'm still recovering was from a 1/4 cup of milk in a recipe. The dairy here in Hawaii started adding wheat to some of their milk!.

My reactions are severe. Yesterday, I had lunch and 15 minutes later my stomach started to hurt. 30 min later I was throwing up and my stomach hurt so bad I wanted to die. By an hour I was still throwing up and had D. Stomach hurts so bad that I want to go to the ER, although for what??? nothing they can do. I am still in pain, not throwing up, but still have D. I have no idea what I ate, It seems that every week, month there is something else that makes me sick. I can no longer eat eggs, fresh fruit/veggies. It seems that eventually I won't be able to eat at all. I find that most gluten free foods ordered have a lot of eggs, dairy, etc in them. Anyways, typically it takes a good week to stop feeling pain, tired, depression, irritability, etc. Frustration is always there. My GI basically gave up and said there is nothing more they can do for me. Any ideas.

Within 30 minutes, my belly will swell up, and I will appear pregnant even though I am in my 50's.   I will also have moderate pain in my feet, but more so in the right foot.   These are the two immediate things that stick out to me.  Since I am new to the gluten-free lifestyle, everyday, I mess up and eat something wrong!  It's highly frustrating. Later on, other lovely symptoms kick in, such as anxiety, migraines, restless leg syndrome, the list goes on and on.  When I first found out I was Gluten intolerant, I could eat a cheat and I wouldn't know until the next day. now it's about under 30 min.

Hi and welcome :)

You've posted on quite an old thread so most of the users above may no longer be active.

You mention you're new to being gluten-free. Have you had any testing for celiac? That may be something you want to consider before you go fully gluten free?

Either way this is a good site for info and support. Hope you enjoy your time here!

Hi Gma,

I bloat/swell/inflame with the characteristic pregnancy like look too within 30-45 minutes of exposure as well.

It as if once it hits my small intestine I feel a huge painful wham of a 2 x 4 with a bunch of fine needles slam down on the first part of my small intestine, I bloat, get shortness of breath, eyes water, I get tired, and my upper and lower back begins to hurt.

as you describe as the hours go on the dominos fall. Joint pain, migraines, my large intestine tries to expel the evil gluten and then my nerves just shut down my gi tract comes to a halt. then a day or 2 later my mood , my brain fog and my left upper arm and big toes go numb. Scary stuff until I found out it wasn't IBS as I was told 20 years ago.

my body reacts worse to smaller amounts since I went gluten-free. I am still s l o w l y healing from my 2016 gluten challenge since I went gluten-free prior to diagnosis. Not ideal but heck I was missed for longer than I ever want to admit.

you said you could cheat in the past likely now the body once gluten-free will remind you there  is no cheat and even cc is dealt with extremely

i hope you haven't had too bad a time lately

as jmg said if you post your question or comment as a new topic you'll get more traffic.

welcome and you found the right place.

Thanks JMG, I just posted a question about Celiac testing.  I had hoped to get tested next week for the blood tests, have an appointment Monday.  Thanks for the heads up about the thread being older.  I'm just so excited and happy that I am learning more about what's wrong with me and all the support of course. Thank you!

Hi Awol, Wow you really go through a lot!  I can imagine you have somewhat of a relief actually finding out it's not IBS so that you could at least know...  I'm tired of being so careful thanks so very much for your welcome!!!

In as little as two weeks, antibodies can return to normal for some on a gluten free diet.  Learn more about a gluten challenge here:

You could attempt testing, but make sure your doctor is aware that you could get a negative on the test and if he is willing to re-run it (could be insurance restrictions, etc.) after a challenge.

Severe coughing and brain fog, within 20 minutes.  Usually lasts for an hour or two.

Constipation for days.....

I have been gluten-free for several years.  However, there is one symptom which shows up if I ever accidently eat any gluten.  In less that 2 minutes, I become severely bloated.  If that ever happens, I immediately stop what I am eating.

      My chest pain has been caused by costochondritis, as well as times when iron supplements has given me such bad bloating it has put pressure on my back and chest, and reflux can do the same. Also, along the lines of Wheatwacked's suggestion above, is it possible you had an injury to your chest/ribs way back that is being set off by either some sort of gastrointestinal bloating/discomfort? I distinctly remember really hurting a rib over forty years ago when I misjudged a wall and thought it was just behind me but in fact it wasn't.  I fell badly against the wall and I think I cracked a rib then.  For some strange reason I didn't tell anyone but I think had I gone to hospital an X-ray would have revealed a fracture. I think that rib has not been right since and I am sure that bloating makes it worse, as well as heavy lifting.

      Sorry for the long post. I’m 18, and I was diagnosed with celiac disease and type 1 diabetes (T1D). My transglutaminase IgA was >128 U/mL, EMA IgA positive twice, and I’m HLA-DQ2 and DQ8 positive. I’ve been completely asymptomatic since diagnosis, even when I cheated with gluten sometimes in the past and used to eat out(2-5 years ago) I don’t get the typical celiac reactions, which makes it really hard to know when (or if) I’ve been glutened. But for the past year, I’ve been the most strict with my diet, and that’s also when a bunch of new issues started. I eat completely glutenfree, never eat out, dont eat food that says „may contain gluten“.   Current Health Problems • Floating, undigested stools for over a year now. Dont think its related to celiac as it was like this since im 17 and not 13-16( i got diagnosed at 13). • Chronic back pain started gradually, worsens with movement, lots of cracking/popping sounds. Been ongoing for a year now. First noticed in the gym. • Abdominal bulge on the right side, not painful but seems to be getting slightly bigger. Doctor didn’t find a hernia on ultrasound, but it was done lying down (I’ve read those can miss hernias). Noticed it like 6 months ago, couldve been there longer. • extremely dry and mildly swollen hands (this started before I started excessive hand-washing), and bloated face. • Signs of inattentive ADHD (noticed over the past 3 years), now combined with severe OCD focused on contamination and cross-contact. • Growth/puberty seemed to started after going gluten-free. Before that I was not developing. Dont know if any of these are because of celiac as my dad doesnt have those and he is a lot less strict gluten-free then me. I also had pancreatic elastase tested four times: values were 46 (very low), 236, 158, and 306 (normal). Gastroenterologist said one normal value is enough and I don’t have EPI. Family doctor prescribed Kreon anyway (after I pushed for it), and I just started taking 1 capsule (10,000 units) with meals 2 days ago, but couldn‘t see effects yet because I’ve been constipated the last few days. Maybe because of thyroid. I don’t have Hashimoto’s. No thyroid antibodies. But I took levothyroxine for slightly low FT4 levels. My thyroid levels fluctuated between borderline low and low-normal. And recently lowered my dose so that may have caused the constipating. I probably didn’t need it in the first place, and am thinking about stopping it soon.   Current Diet Right now, I only eat a very limited set of “safe” foods I prepare myself: • Gluten-free bread with tuna or cheese • Milk and cornflakes • gluten-free cookies/snacks • Bananas (the only fruit I trust right now) I rarely eat other fruits or vegetables, because I’m scared of contamination. My dad, who also has celiac but doesn’t care about CC, buys fruits, and he might’ve picked them up right after handling gluten bread. That makes me feel unsafe eating them. Even fruit at stores or markets feels risky because so many people with gluten on their hands touch them.   My Home Situation (Shared Kitchen) We’re a family of 5. Only my dad and I have celiac. He eats glutenfree but doesn’t care about CC and sometimes (but rarely) cheats. My mom and siblings eat gluten bread at every meal. My mom is honest (so if i ask her to be cautious, she most likely would try to), but doesn’t seem to understand how serious celiac is. She: • Stopped using gluten flour • only cooks gluten-free meals (but they still heat up gluten bread and also cook gluten noodles) • Keeps separate butter/jam/jars for me • Bought me a stainless steel pan Bu we didn’t replace old wooden utensils, cutting boards, or other pans. The new they bought me pan was even carried home in a shopping bag with gluten bread in it, which triggered my OCD. It also has a rubber handle and I’m scared it might still hold onto gluten. Even if it’s washed well, it’s stored next to other pans that were used for gluten food/bread. Our kitchen table is used for eating gluten bread daily. My mom wipes it but not with soap. I’m scared tiny particles remain. If she made gluten-free bread dough on a board at the table, I’d still worry about cross contmaination contamination even with something under the dough and on the table as at one point the dough would probably touch the table. So I stopped eating anything she makes.   I know OCD is making it worse, but I can’t tell how much of my fear is real and how much is anxiety. Examples: • I wash my hands 20–30 times a day — before eating, after touching anything at home or outside, after using my phone/laptop. • I don’t let others touch my phone, and I’m scared to use my laptop because friends at school or my brother (who eat gluten) have touched it. And it annoys me a lot when others touch my stuff and feels like it got contaminated and is unsafe instantly. • I stopped eating while using my phone or laptop, afraid of invisible gluten being on them. • I wash my hands after opening food packaging (since it was on store cashier belts where gluten food is placed). • I avoid sitting anywhere except my bed or one clean chair. • I won’t shake hands with anyone or walk past people eating gluten. • At school, when switching classes, I wash my hands before getting out my laptop, again before opening it, etc. • I open door knobs with my elbows instead my hands   Job Concerns (Powder Coating, Sandblasting, Etc.) I’m working a temporary job right now that involves: • Powder coating • Sandblasting • Wet spray painting • Anodizing There’s also a laboratory. I don’t need this job, and my OCD makes me believe that dust or air particles there might contain gluten somehow. Should I quit?   Doctors Haven’t Helped My family doctor told me: “Asymptomatic celiac isn’t serious, if you have no symptoms, your intestines won’t get damaged, so you don’t need a gluten-free diet.” I knew that was wrong, but he wasn’t open to listening. I just nodded and didn‘t argue. My gastroenterologist (who’s also a dietitian) said: „If your antibodies are negative, there’s no damage. It might even be okay to try small amounts of gluten later if antibodies stay negative.“ Also said, pepper that says “may contain gluten” is fine if it only contains pepper. She was more informed than my family doctor but didn’t seem to fully understand celiac either.   Questions I Need Help With 1. Is it realistically safe to eat food my mom cooks, if we get separate pans/ and boards even if gluten is still used in the same kitchen? There will always be low risk of cc chances like that she will still touch stuff that was touched by her and my siblings after they ate gluten. And as there are gluten eaters in the house and she also prepares and eats gluten. So would opening the fridge then getting the food and touching the food be okay? So basically what i am doing, washing my hands multiple times while preparing food, she would only wash it once before, then touch anything else (for example water tap or handles) that were touched with gluteny hands, then also touch the food. I dont know if I ever could feel safe, I could try telling her how important cc really is. And I trust her so she wouldnt lie to me then be careless about cc, but idk how safe it really can be if she and everyone else keeps eating gluten and touching stuff in the house after eating. 2. Do I need to worry about touching doorknobs, fridge handles, light switches, etc. that family members touched after eating gluten? What about public places like bus handles or school desks? Or like if i went to the gym, I would be touching stuff all the time, so there will be small amounts of gluten and those would get transferred on my phone if I touch my phone while in the gym. But I want to knos if it would be enough to do damage. 3. Is an endoscopy (without biopsy) enough to tell if my intestines are healed? I’d pay privately if it could help and if i dont get a refferal. Or do i need a biopsy? 4. Could my job (powder coating, sandblasting, etc.) expose me to gluten or damage my intestines through air/dust? 5. Do I need certified gluten-free toothpaste, hand soap, shampoo, or moisturizer? (For example: Vaseline and Colgate don’t contain gluten ingredients but say they can’t guarantee it’s gluten-free.) 6. Is spices like pepper with “may contain traces of gluten” safe if no gluten ingredients are listed? Or does everything need to be labeled gluten-free?  7. Is continuing to only eat my own food the better choice, or could I eventually go back to eating what my mom cooks if she’s careful? 8. is cutlery from dishwasher safe if there are stains? Stuff like knives is used for cutting gluten bread or fork for noodles etc. I often see stains which i dont know if its gluten or something else but our dish washer doesnt seem to make it completely clean. 9. I wash my hands multiple times while preparing food. Do i need to do the same when touching my phone. Like if i touch the fridge handle, I wash my hands then touch the phone. I dont eat while using my phone but i leave it on my bed and pillow and my face could come in contact with where it was.  10. Do i need to clean my phone or laptop if theyve been used by people who eat gluten? Even if no crumbs fall onto my keybaord, i mean because of invisible gluten on their fingers. 11. Does medication/supplements have to be strictly glutenfree? One company said they couldn‘t guarantee if their probiotics don’t contain traces of gluten.  12. I had bought supplements in the past, some of them say glutenfree and some of them dont(like the brand „NOW“ from iherb). I bought them and used them when i wasnt washing my hands so often, are they still safe? As I touched and opened them after touching door knobs, water taps etc. It was like a year ago when i bought those and even though i was eating gluten-free, I never worried about what i touch etc. I know this post is long. I’m just extremely overwhelmed. I’m trying to protect myself from long-term health damage, but the OCD is destroying my quality of life, and I honestly don’t know what’s a reasonable level of caution anymore. Thanks for reading.

      I've been making a lot of black bean brownies lately because it's one of the few gluten free dessert recipes that actually tastes palatable.  I've also seen chocolate cake recipes with black beans.  Someone mentioned a cookie recipe using lentils in place of flour.  Just wondering if anyone's run across any tried and true recipes using beans, lentils or peas for desserts?  I've seen a lot of recipes for garbanzo flour but I'm allergic to garbanzo beans/chickpeas.  Was wondering if adzuki or pinto beans might be useful in replacing some or all of the flour in baking.  Since gluten free flours can be crumbly was hoping the beans might help produce a better, less crumbly consistency.  Any recommendations for recipes?  Thanks.

      I've seen a lot of recipes for chia pudding, so I decided to make some with chia, water, cocoa and honey.  Didn't like the taste, so I added ground sunflower and ground pumpkin seed to it.  It tasted okay, but came out more like frosting that pudding.  I used to make pudding with tapioca starch, milk powder, water and sugar.  It came out very good but I haven't figured out what to use to replace the milk powder to make it dairy free.  Most starches will work in place of tapioca starch but quantity varies depending on the type of starch.  If I didn't add enough starch to get a pudding consistency, I'd add gelatin as well to fix it.  Avocado and cocoa makes a good dessert with a pudding like consistency.  Unfortunately, I have a bad reaction to avocados.

      Seems like when I find a gluten free product I like, the producer stops manufacturing it and then I have trouble finding a new gluten free source for it.  What's worse, I've been contacting companies to ask if their products are gluten free and they don't even bother to respond.  So, it's making it very hard to find safe replacements.  I was buying teff flour at nuts.com and they no longer carry it.  I noticed Naturevibe has teff and soy flour.  However, I can't get a response as to whether their flours are safe for someone with celiac.  Can't get a response from Aldi if their peas are safe for someone with celiac either.  I know Bob's Red Mill has teff flour but was hoping to get a large quantity.  I've been using up the 20 ounce Bob's Red Mill teff flour too quickly.  Does anyone know of a good source for teff or soy flour?  Any recommendations where to get gluten free beans, peas or lentils?  I found some packages of gluten free beans at Sprouts but not much variety.  I've also been looking for lentil elbow macaroni and it seems like no one is making that now that Tolerant was bought out.  Any suggestions for safe sources for these types of ingredients.  Thanks.
