How long does it take for your symptoms to appear if you eat something with gluten in it?

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.

      Barilla gluten free pasta

      @Scott Adams, You're right about corn and wheat not sharing similarities in the 33-mer peptide segment of gluten. Corn has a completely different peptide that causes an autoimmune reaction because it attaches to HLA-DQ8. Casein in dairy shares with wheat similarities in the33-mer peptide chain. Sorry about the oversimplification. Maize...

      Barilla gluten free pasta

      I just want to mention that corn and wheat do both contain storage proteins (corn has zein, wheat has gliadin and other gluten proteins), and there are some small similarities in certain amino acid sequences. However, those similarities are not considered medically equivalent, and corn proteins do not trigger the autoimmune response of celiac disease in the...

      Pain in the right side of abdomen

      @Heatherisle, Newly diagnosed people often suffer from nutritional deficiencies. Thiamine B1 stores can be depleted within a few weeks. Thiamine deficiency can be localized in the gastrointestinal tract causing Gastrointestinal Beriberi. It is under diagnosed by doctors! Dysfunction of the gallbladder can be seen in Gastrointestinal Beriberi...

      Thiamine and other B vitamins are available without a prescription, but it's always best to discuss supplementing with your doctor and dietician. I take Thiamine Hydrochloride, Benfotiamine, and Thiamine TTFD. (Avoid Thiamine Mononitrate because it's not well absorbed or used by brain f bodies.) Benfotiamine especially helps heal the gastrointestinal...

      I just want to mention that corn and wheat do both contain storage proteins (corn has zein, wheat has gliadin and other gluten proteins), and there are some small similarities in certain amino acid sequences. However, those similarities are not considered medically equivalent, and corn proteins do not trigger the autoimmune response of celiac disease in the vast majority of people with celiac. Celiac disease specifically involves an immune reaction to gluten peptides found in wheat, barley, and rye. Corn is classified as gluten-free because its proteins do not activate that same immune pathway in most individuals. Although corn intolerance is very real, the explanation about the proteins being the same is oversimplified to the point where it's not accurate.

      @Heatherisle, Newly diagnosed people often suffer from nutritional deficiencies.  Thiamine B1 stores can be depleted within a few weeks.  Thiamine deficiency can be localized in the gastrointestinal tract causing Gastrointestinal Beriberi.  It is under diagnosed by doctors!  Dysfunction of the gallbladder can be seen in Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   Have your daughter mention the possibility of Gastrointestinal Beriberi to her dietician!  Gastrointestinal Beriberi will be improved with high dose Thiamine administration, orally or by IV.  It's important to have thiamine deficiency corrected as quickly as possible to prevent life threatening health problems and risk permanent damage.   I had Gastrointestinal Beriberi but my doctors did not recognize it.  I had diarrhea.  I had my gallbladder removed (gallbladder attack).  Still had diarrhea.  My thiamine deficiency progressed to Wernickes Encephalopathy.  My doctors diagnosed me as "depressed".   I corrected the thiamine deficiency at home with over the counter Thiamine Hydrochloride tablets.  I'm very thankful I studied Nutrition.   See if the symptoms match:  Thiamine, gastrointestinal beriberi and acetylcholine signaling https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12014454/ Gastrointestinal Beriberi Presenting With Chronic Diarrhea: A Case Report https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC12794365/

      Thiamine and other B vitamins are available without a prescription, but it's always best to discuss supplementing with your doctor and dietician.   I take Thiamine Hydrochloride, Benfotiamine, and Thiamine TTFD.  (Avoid Thiamine Mononitrate because it's not well absorbed or used by brain f bodies.)  Benfotiamine especially helps heal the gastrointestinal tract.  Thiamine TTFD is great for improving brain function and mood.  They all work to improve everything, but Thiamine TTFD through the blood brain barrier the easiest, so the brain starts working to control everything better. Every form of Thiamine needs magnesium to make enzymes.  I like Magnesium Threonate which enters the brain more easily than other forms.  Low magnesium contributes to anxiety and depression.  The eight B vitamins all work together, so a B Complex is a good idea.  Don't worry if it already has thiamine in it.  The B vitamins are water soluble and easily excreted.   I get mine online.
