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.

      Hello everyone. I am Elena and am 38 years old. I suspect I have a gluten intolerance even if my celiac panel is ok. I have the following symptoms : facial flushing, Red dots not bumps în face, bloating abdominal distension, hair loss, depression anxiety even with meds and even bipolar. Fatigue extreme to the point of not being able to work. All of these after I eat gluten. Could I have non celiac gluten sensitivity? Thanks anyone else with these symptoms?

      Hi Everyone,  I do appreciate your replies to my original post.   Here is where I am now in this journey.  I am currently seeing a Naturopath.  One thing I did not post before is that I take Esomeprazole for GERD.  My Naturopath believes that the decrease in the gastric acid has allowed the yeast to grow.    She has put me on some digestive enzymes.  She also put me on Zinc, Selenium, B 12, as she felt that I was not absorbing my vitamins. I am about 5 weeks into this treatment, and I am feeling better. I did not have any trouble taking the Fluconazole.

      I'm sure it's chemically perfect. Most of them taste lousy!

      Hi @JulieRe.  I just found your post.  It seems that I am also experiencing thrush, and my doctor believes that I have fungal overgrowth in my gut, which is most likely candida.  I'm seeing my GI doctor next week, so I'm hoping she can diagnose and confirm this and then give me an antifungal treatment.  In the meantime, I have been working with a functional medicine doctor, doing a candida cleanse and taking vitamins. It's already helping to make me feel better (with some ups and downs, of course), so I do think the yeast is definitely a problem for me on top of my celiac disease and I'm hoping my GI doctor can look into this a bit further.  So, how about you?  Did the candida come back, or is it still gone following your fluconazole treatment?  Also, was it awful to take fluconazole?  I understand that taking an antifungal can cause a reaction that sometimes makes people feel sick while they're taking it.  I hope you're doing better still !

      I'm so sorry you're going through this—the "gluten challenge" is notoriously brutal, and it's awful to deliberately make yourself sick when you've already found the answer. For the joint pain, many people find that over-the-counter anti-inflammatories like ibuprofen can help take the edge off, and using heating pads or warm baths can provide some direct relief for the aches. For the digestive misery, stick to simple, easy-to-digest foods (like plain rice, bananas, and bone broth) and drink plenty of water and electrolytes to stay hydrated. It feels like the longest month ever, but you are doing the right thing to get a clear diagnosis, which can be crucial for your long-term health and getting the proper care. Hang in there; you can get through this! This article, and the comments below it, may be helpful:
