Hi Joyous,

Well each person is differant, us it happens right off the bat, but for some it can take a few days.

I'm not really sure for you and maybe someone else will chime in and know more for you.

Just hang in there someone will answer you soon, just try to keep an eye on what you eat or are around so you don't get glutened.

As the previous poster said, everybody is different. It takes me about 4-6 hours for the really noticeable symptoms to kick in.

My family has a kind of long reaction time.

For Lucas, it takes 12-36 hours for a CC issue.

For me, with my challenges, I've noticed that wheat only takes a few hours, while barley takes about 24 hours. CC wheat (a smaller amount) takes about 24 hours.

My mom takes a shorter time, generally within just a few hours even if it's only the tiniest CC.

Not sure about Ezra yet, we haven't had enough experience with him to tell an average. He did get CC'ed Friday night and symptoms showed by Sunday.

I've been wondering about this too. I'm about 6 mos. post diagnosis, and I got rebellious and cheated over Thanksgiving (ate a piece of pie) and then continued to cheat for about 5 days b/c I really wasn't feeling bad. Well, I did start feeling bad, but chalked it up to something else and kept cheating. Symptoms of diarhea started after a few days (my usual is 2 -3 days lag time), but now I've been feeling the bad gut pains for almost 2 weeks and can't seem to recover, even though I'm being very careful again. The d. won't go away, the gas pains won't go away, the nasea won't go away, and I've been "good" for over a week now. A friend told me that each flare up could get worse and worse. Is this what I have to look forward to?

It takes me about 24-48 hours to notice an effect, even from out right cheating. I just started the diet in August.

I actually wish the symptoms were instantaneous. It sure would make it easier to figure out what you did wrong. Not to mention, doctors would've caught on to the problems with gluten a long, long time ago.

      Struggling with gluten challenge and not sure it’s worth it - looking for advice / experiences / encouragement

      By iceman2026x · Posted

      Hi, I have celiac disease and need to avoid all gluten and cross‑contamination. Can you please tell me the exact brand names of the cooking oil, salt, pepper, and seasonings you use? Thank you!

      Terrified with diagnosis, in denial, how to live & eat?

      It took me a couple tries, but I found it. Looks good except it uses oats and I don't eat them any more (sigh). https://blogs.ifas.ufl.edu/polkco/2021/08/25/alternative-recipes-black-bean-brownies/

      Trader Joe's strikes again

      By jage · Posted

      It seems pretty clear to me.  "I react if there is any gluten" "I react as if there was gluten".  I too react in the same way as I do to any gluten to some things that aren't supposed to be gluten.  I don't know if it's because it's unlisted gluten, something similar to gluten or some third unknown thing that just affect me the same.  At least that's how I read the post, and it's helpful I'll watch for that because it seems like I get sick from some supposedly gluten free things and if it's sorghum flour I at least have something to look for, to possibly correlate why. Also to be pedantic there are "gliadin and glutenin in wheat, while other grains have distinct, similar proteins like secalin in rye and hordein in barley", but I don't think that was the intent.

      @Celiac Lynn, what do you mean by "any gluten". Sounds like you are implying there is more than one gluten.

      I've been very worried about my liver as well.  Been off gluten for two years and the last 6 months the blood tests with markers for my liver have been getting worse.  I read that if you're not eating enough, it can stress the liver.  As to what to eat, I'm also a picky eater and like bland, plain foods.  I make everything from scratch and don't use processed foods in most cases.  I'm using the lentil or the lentil/cauliflower/pea pastas to replace wheat pastas.  I can sometimes find these on sale at local stores.  I use flours like teff to replace wheat in some of the recipes I have.  I often buy my flours online because there's more variety and some sites give discounts at certain times of the year.  The UF IFAS site has a nice black bean brownie recipe and there's one listed with recipes at this site as well.  Vegetables, fruits, meats, dairy (if you can tolerate it) are all usually fine.  Seaweed like kelp noodles or nori sheets can be useful.  These are usually naturally gluten free, but I did double check all the products I typically buy with their manufacturers.  I made a list of safe foods before going grocery shopping.  What foods do you typically like?  Maybe we can help you find alternative recipes for them.  While it's not great, you can use AI to help meal plan or create recipes.  It does make mistakes, so you have to double check everything but it sometimes comes up with some really helpful ideas.  I found it did a better job than any of the dieticians I hired.  (Most dieticians don't seem to be good at coming up with custom recipes and many just refer you to web sites anyway.)
