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.

      Reverse Osmosis (RO) Water

      By Known1 · Posted

      Initially I was going to re-post all of the threads that have people stating they drink or recommend RO water.  There are just too many to post, so I'll recommend using the search feature here to find them all.  There are currently 4 pages worth of posts with people mentioning or recommending RO water/filtration systems.  Granted, some of the search results are from this thread. For me, it causes major issues with my stomach and as mentioned, there is no way I will ever intentionally drink it again.  As we know, everyone's body is different.  I am certainly not looking for a debate, but do highly advise anyone considering RO water to do their own research. Consider starting with this Google search:  Is reverse osmosis water safe to drink long term?

      What would you do - neighbor brought gluten-free pizza from Papa Murphy's

      By Known1 · Posted

      I could not agree with you both more.  I still haven't bumped into my neighbor's mom to explain, but I am certain she will understand.  I am in play it safe and error on the side of caution mode right now.  I see no point in taking any unnecessary risk. Thank you both for your time and thoughts.

      British Coeliacs: Marks and Spencer's have launched a Gluten Free Colin the Caterpillar Cake.

      By cristiana · Posted

      Brilliant news for British Coeliacs!   Colin was launched in 1990 so I am fortunate in that I was able to try this amazing chocolate swissroll cake before my diagnosis.  But the good news is he has now appeared in the Gluten Free aisle at M&S, and also is available home delivery through Ocado. https://www.marksandspencer.com/food/made-without-wheat-gluten-free-colin-the-caterpillar/p/fdp60761680

      Insomnia help

      By cristiana · Posted

      Very helpful @knitty kitty.  Thank you.  I am trying to remember what vitamin so alarmed my GP and I have a feeling it was A or E.  I remember reading the pills contained well over the 100 per cent RDA of whatever the vitamin was. One thing I'd love to ask you that has always intrigued me.  One day when my anxiety was completely through the roof.  I 'felt the fear and did it anyway' - a phrase other anxiety sufferers may be aware of, which I found a powerful tool in my recovery -  and visited a friend's house, even though I felt so wretched.  For some reason I craved milk and drank two whole pints of milk in quick succession while I was with her - to this day I can't think why, because I don't usually drink milk 'neat' - I like it in tea or coffee, or hot chocolate.  But I distinctly remember within a couple of hours feeling absolutely fine again for quite a while.  I've often wondered was it down to this milk, which I've since understood contains quite decent levels of B12.  Would that have really worked so fast?
