How Far Between Exposure & Dh Breakout?

Does anyone know how long it takes from the time of gluten exposure to the time of DH breakout? Does it happen right away? Can it be delayed a day or more?

I'm just trying to figure out what it getting me.

Also....how long does it take DH to go away after gluten has stopped?

My mom seems to have a reaction later on the same day--along with depression and mental confusion. Often for me my reaction is delayed by 24 hours, why I don't know. I have forgotten how long it took the DH to go away however it took me 3 months before my nails hardened etc. after becoming gluten free--minus of course the hidden glutens I didn't know about until recently.

For me it depends on the exposure. If I accidently inhale flour or breading in a kitchen, I can break out in as short a time as 15 minutes. If I east something supposedly gluten-free or get some accidental cross contamination, it can take a few hours. Depending on the amount i'm exposed too, it seems to vary the severity of the dh and stomach ache.

Hope you cn figure it out

My experience has been that it can be within 24 hours, sometimes if I get enough it will occur within minutes but that hasn't happened in a few years. I also get hit with a deep 24 hour depression followed by a couple of weeks of anxiety. Ususally the gut stuff hits me 2 to 3 days after exposure. I should also note that after a couple of years gluten free so many of the antibodies had left my skin that I now get only one or two very tiny little blisters that heal within a week. Before that the blisters would be severe and last over a month.

From what I can tell I THINK my reactions are pretty much within 24hrs but I'm just questioning my latest breakout. I'm guessing it was just CC that got me but it happened in so many different places on my body- UG! I've noticed that my other breakouts seem to linger for weeks and just wondered if this was normal.

Does anything else make DH breakout other than gluten? I stay clear of iodine b/c I'm allergic.

My hubby breaks out within hours and it takes a couple days to heal up.

I seem to blister up with table salt or if I take ibuprofen. Not sure how long they last....looooong time. Seems I 'm still forever getting isolated blisters popping up here and there.

i also blister usually in about 15 min to 1hr. Watch table salt or anything with iodine in it , I have heard celiac people are sensitive to iodine. sistergoldenhair

With me, I can break out within 30-90 minutes from exposure; however, I continue to break out in additional blisters over the next 3-4 days. The darned things last about 4-6 weeks before they completely heal. I get them on my face and soles of my feet. The feet tend to heal in 7-10 days, but my face always seems to take forever.

      In response to your questions regarding probiotics. I have had Celiac for 40 years. Stomach issues: digestion, IBS to chronic constipation, bloat after eating anything. I was unable to eat a healthy variety of foods, tried probiotics supplements - some made me worse, others made no difference. After reading about people with Crones, IBS, etc, who made...

      Hi Katht - I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was...

      In response to your questions regarding probiotics.  I have had Celiac for 40 years.  Stomach issues: digestion, IBS to chronic constipation, bloat after eating anything.  I was unable to eat a healthy variety of foods, tried probiotics supplements - some made me worse, others made no difference.  After reading about people with Crones, IBS, etc, who made their own probiotics I started making Milk Kefir: not water Kefir. There are 10 probiotics in milk KEFIR. After 3 weeks I was able to eat more, no gas, no IBS.  If you have a computer just ask for videos on making milk Kefir. I branched out and make my own Kombucha for even more probiotics. I do not make my yogurt because there are only about four probiotics in that. I started this when I was 82 and I still make my own Kefir and Kombucha. My stomach issues were fixed with the Milk Kefir alone. If you decide to try making it, make certain you order MILK GRAINS. The finished product tastes a bit like Buttermilk. I hope this helps in your journey to good health.

      Hi Katht -  I sympathize with your struggles in following a gluten-free diet and lifestyle. I found out that I had Celiac Disease a few months before I turned 70. I just turned 89 and it has taken me almost 20 years to attain a fairly normal intestinal  function. I also lost a lot of weight, down to 100 lb. down from about 140 lb. What Trents wrote you was very true for me. I am still elimination foods from my diet. One person suggested you keep a food diary and that is a good idea but it is probably best just to do an elimination diet. There are several ne and maybe one for celiacs. I used one for a while and started with plain rice and zucchini and then added back other foods to see if I reacted or not. That helped a great deal but what I did not realise that it would only very small amounts of some foods to cause inflammation in my intestine. Within the last few years I have stopped eating any trace amounts of hot peppers, corn and soy(mostly in supplements) and nuts, (the corn in Tylenol was giving me stomach aches and the nuts were causing foot pains). Starting an elimination diet with white rice is better than brown rice that has some natural toxins. In addition it is very important to drink sufficient plain water. You can find out how much to drink for your height and weight online. I do have difficulty drinking 48 ounces of water but just recently have found an electrolyte supplement that helps me stay well hydrated, Adding the water and electrolytes may reduce muscle cramps and gag spams you wrote about. . Also buy some anti-gluten enzyme capsules to take with meals. I use GliadinX advertised here. These are a lot of things to do at one time as they reflect my 20 years of experience. I hope you do what you can manage to do over time. Good luck and take care.
