How Long To Feel The Effects Of Gluten Exposure?

For those of you that have been gluten free for some time:

How long does it usually take for you to feel the effects of gluten exposure?

For me it's generally 3-5 days

I have ataxia and neuro issues and for me those hit really fast, the ataxia within an hour of injestion and the depression hits for 24 hours the next day. The GI effects usually don't hit until, like you, three to four days afterwards, although my tummy will start to growl within hours and gas will start to build up but the horrendous D takes time.

Anyways, it seems, after 7 1/2 yrs, when I get glutened, I have neurological symptoms now, my tummy gets kind of jumpy, but no real diarrhea anymore, which I am very thankful for. This last time though, I think my blood pressure shot very high and that isn't good either, I thought my head was going to explode, and that's never good. I get very shaky, and the floodgates open--like one minute I am fine and the next I am a total disaster--I never see it coming. The reaction was like 36 hours--the glutening happened around 7pm on Monday night and the reaction was 7am Wednesday morning. I was like a zombie the entire day on Wednesday, in a complete fog for probably 12 hours, the worst of the onset of the reaction lasting about 2 hours, in which time I took a Xanax to calm the shaking, crying, etc, reactions. After 7 yrs, this reaction is completely different from my reactions in the beginning! I prefer no reactions!!!!

Saturday I went to a party for lunch. I had called to ask if there would be food I could eat and told no (I only had time for a quick salad tho), but when I got there, the cook had kept a portion of the turkey chowder for me before adding the milk. It was delicious and I ate it. I also had a glass of white wine.

I was feeling detached and spacey by the time we left, I had a splitting headache by the end of dinner, and had to go to bed 2 hours early because I was so exhuasted. I havent felt like that since I quit gluten and dairy 2 mo ago. My husband suspected it was the wine, but i think its more likely the soup had cheap broth with wheat and creamed corn with wheat. Does that sound like glutening to you?

I cant tell about the bloating because thats not quite gone yet - looks like I need to quit rice first ;-(

Sorry to hear about the dining dilemma. I guess I will be experiencing a few of those myself this coming year. I am just trying to go gluten-free and finding that I am also somewhat sensitive to dairy.

I am curious as to some something in your sign-off: what is the Lame Advertisement test you list? And do you know why there so many folks in this forum complain of dairy intolerance in addition to gluten intolerance? I understand the parts of the intestine that digests both are closely related, but is there more to it than that?

I am learning but the learning curve on this condition is long. I guess I am gluten intolerant but not a full blown celiac yet. My blood test and biopsies were negative but the food challenge is right on.

Ok, so funny . . . its a test that, apparently, offended folks on this site long ago with advertising, so if you spell out their name, it gets translated in to 'lame advertising'. I thought i'd put it clearly enuf w the dots, i'll have to fix that . . .

its A L . . and then CAT . . . but all put together. THey have a website, you can mail order a test to be taken at labcorp, and they mail back a report - it took just over a week i think. Its a IgG reaction test, I think, and i had like 175 foods tested. And over 50 were positive reactions and I dont know what to eat!!

The worst part is, when i look at my own posts, its not turned in to lame advertising, so i dindt know it was happening, so i'm glad you told me.

Ok, the fact that my email text is being translated into something unintended when published is just not right. Thanks for the replies on the dairy/gluten connection.

Ok, I'm so glad you folks put this post here, cuz just now, 3 days after being glutened at a party, I finally had the 'on the way out' symptoms lol! I thought the headache was all I'd gotten, so I'm glad to realize (thanks to this post) that this 3-day later intestinal response is still from that same glutening.

Also, about the A l CAT test being altered - yeah, i think it sucks and i wonder if we can ask them to undo that, I think its a good resource which could really help people here

      Blood results

      @Heatherisle, Has your daughter been checked for vitamin and mineral deficiencies? A combination of Thiamine Hydrochloride (or Benfotiamine) and B12 and Pyridoxine B6 relieves pain as well as over-the-counter pain relievers. What sort of food does she eat on the GFD? Many gluten free processed foods?

      Pain in the right side of abdomen

      I can see why she’s worried, especially with a history of ovarian cysts, but it’s also very common for healing after a celiac diagnosis to take time. Even when someone is doing their best gluten-free, it can take months for inflammation to calm down, and bloating, abdominal pressure, and even back discomfort can flare during the adjustment period.

      Sugar intolerance 10 years into gluten-free diet

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The...

      Your doctor is incorrect! Your positive DQB1*02 is all you need to develop Celiac disease.  Just having one copy is sufficient to develop Celiac.   Reference: Carrier frequency of HLA-DQB1*02 allele in patients affected with celiac disease: A systematic review assessing the potential rationale of a targeted allelic genotyping as a first-line screening "...importantly, a comparable risk of celiac disease development was present in individuals carrying a double dose of HLA-DQB1*02 alleles, no matter the paired HLA-DQA1 alleles." And... "If we could consider a mass screening looking for the carrier status of HLA-DQB1*02 only, we may identify 95% of celiac disease predisposed patients and, concomitantly, rule out (with no more than a 5% error) the lifetime risk of disease in 60%-70% of the general population: These non-predisposed individuals should never receive the serological screening, unless any consistent clinical symptoms appear at some point of the existence without any other explanation." https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7109277/ Classical celiac disease is more frequent with a double dose of HLA-DQB1*02: A systematic review with meta-analysis https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6375622/ Also, the Malabsorption of Celiac can cause low B vitamins (and minerals) that are related to poor oral health.

      Pain in the right side of abdomen

      I can see why she’s worried, especially with a history of ovarian cysts, but it’s also very common for healing after a celiac diagnosis to take time. Even when someone is doing their best gluten-free, it can take months for inflammation to calm down, and bloating, abdominal pressure, and even back discomfort can flare during the adjustment period. The upcoming dietitian visit is a great step, since hidden gluten exposure or nutritional gaps can sometimes contribute to ongoing symptoms. That said, if the pain is persistent, worsening, or feels similar to her prior cyst symptoms, it’s reasonable to mention that to her doctor for peace of mind. It’s not uncommon for multiple things to overlap, so checking both GI and gynecologic angles can help rule things out and reduce anxiety while her body continues healing. Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.

Even if we love our relative to bits, and they love us, they often can't understand that we too have lives, and need to keep our houses, families and jobs in running order. Something has to give, but it's often the carer!  When an elderly loved one is resistant to change, it makes things even more exhausting.  Often it has taken a crisis for me to be able to introduce the help that has actually been needed for so long.  It sounds as if you are doing an amazing job but can you get any support from any carers associations or other groups where you live, which might help?
