I couldn't resist. I ingested a ton of gluton, soy, dairy, sugar, ect this weekend while at a wedding. The day of the wedding I was completely symptom free. I could not believe it. I felt better than I have in a long time (and the night before is when I started eating "badly"). The day after the wedding I was still pretty good. Today I'm starting to feel it. This makes me wonder what is playing with my head and my symptoms. This also made me wonder about everyone else's reaction times.

What are all of your reaction times?

My reaction time is similar to yours, I have some small indictations depending on the amount of gluten fairly quickly but the real reaction takes about 3 to 5 days depending on how quick my system is moving. Gluten reactions are an intolerance, it can take up to 5 days for the antibody reaction to set in, that is not unusual. Everyone is different so reaction times can differ and they may even change timing and presentation after you have been gluten-free for a few years and are farther along in your healing. I hope I am wrong but you are probably going to feel pretty bad today and for the rest of the week. If stomach pain gets severe try some pepto bismal, if you can tolerate asprin, that helps a great deal for many of us. If at all possible do not medicate the D, let your system clear itself, hard to do if you have work or school but it will get rid of the effects quicker. If you are one of us that get C make sure you get lots of fluids and fiber from fruits and veggies hopefully that will help.

      New diagnosis

      By Russ H · Posted

      Hello, and welcome to the forum. Getting use to gluten-free eating is a struggle, but it is worth it. Your daughter should begin to feel much better and the fatigue will fade but it can take some time. I am sure you will get lots of suggestions from forum members - we have a few from the UK. I am a bit pushed for time just now but will come back later. Russ

      Dermatitis Herpetiformis - follow up dermatology appointment coming up

      By BelleDeJour · Posted

      Thank you so much @suek54 How are you doing today? I spoke too soon yesterday. Something (I can only think gluten-free sweets or a can of soft drink) set me off yesterday. Had a bath, applied some cream, still itching so applied some steroid and was awake until 3am. It's so frustrating. Always 2 steps forward, 1 step back. I am at work now and going to play it very much on the very safe side with food for the next few days.  My derm appointment is less than a week away. I will update on here because I do feel it important to help others.

      Skin issues

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I’m sorry you’re going through all of this. It sounds very stressful, especially when you feel that your symptoms are not being taken seriously. Until you are seen next week, it may help to keep the focus very practical: take clear photos of the skin sores, write down a timeline of symptoms, list all medicines, eye drops, supplements, implants/leak history, and any test results, and bring that to the dermatologist. If there is drainage, spreading redness, fever, worsening pain, eye involvement, or signs of infection, that needs prompt medical care. I would be cautious about assuming parasites or staph without testing, and also cautious with new supplements or putting vitamin C directly on sores, since irritated skin can get worse. A dermatologist can culture lesions, biopsy if needed, and refer to infectious disease if the findings point that way. On the celiac side, I understand your concern for your son, but being HLA-DQ2 positive does not by itself mean he has celiac disease; it means he has a genetic risk. If he is eating gluten now, this is actually the best time for proper celiac blood testing before he tries a gluten-free diet. His symptoms, weight, congestion, and family history are worth discussing with a gastroenterologist, but he should not be told he has celiac based only on HLA status. For your own care, try to keep pushing for objective testing and clear documentation in your records, because that is often what gets doctors to take the next step.
