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.

      Self Diagnosed avoiding gluten 7 months later (Not tested due to eating gluten to test) update and question on soy

      I know I haven't been tested but self diagnosed that by avoiding gluten the past 7 months I feel so much better. I have followed how to eat and avoid gluten and have been good about hidden gluten in products, how to prep gluten-free and flours to use to bake gluten-free and have been very successful. It has been a learning curve but once you get the hang...

      Feel like I’m starting over

      Check your multivitamin to see if it contains Thiamine Mononitrate, which is a "shelf-stable" form of thiamine that doesn't break down with exposure to light, heat, and time sitting on a shelf waiting to be sold. Our bodies have difficulty absorbing and utilizing it. Only 30% is absorbed and less can be utilized. There's some question as to how well multivitamins...

      Feel like I’m starting over

      I am taking a multivitamin which is pretty bolstered with B’s. Additional Calcium, D3, Magnesium, Vit C, and Ubiquinol. Started Creapure creatine monohydrate in June for athletic recovery and brain fog. I have been working with a Nutritionist along side my Dr. since February. My TTG IGA levels in January were 52.8 and my DGP IGA was >250 (I don’t ...

      @Scatterbrain, What supplements are you taking? I agree that the problem may be nutritional deficiencies. It's worth talking to a dietician or nutritionist about. Did you get a Marsh score at your diagnosis? Was your tTg IgA level very high? These can indicate more intestinal damage and poorer absorption of nutrients. Are you eating...

      Has anyone had terrible TMJ/ Jaw Pain from undiagnosed Celiac?

      Vitamin and mineral deficiencies can make TMJ worse. Vitamins like B12 , Thiamine B1, and Pyridoxine B6 help relieve pain. Half of the patients in one study were deficient in these three vitamins in one study below. Malabsorption of vitamins and minerals is common in celiac disease. It's important to eat healthy nutrient dense diets like the Autoimmune...

I have followed how to eat and avoid gluten and have been good about hidden gluten in products, how to prep gluten-free and flours to use to bake gluten-free and have been very successful. It has been a learning curve but once you get the hang of it and more aware you realize how many places are gluten-free and contamination free practices etc. One thing I have read is how soy is like gluten. How would one know if soy affects you? I have eaten gluten free hershey reeses that say gluten free etc some other snacks say gluten free but contain soy and I dont get sick or soy yogurt no issues. Is there adifference in soys?

      Check your multivitamin to see if it contains Thiamine Mononitrate, which is a "shelf-stable" form of thiamine that doesn't break down with exposure to light, heat, and time sitting on a shelf waiting to be sold.  Our bodies have difficulty absorbing and utilizing it.  Only 30% is absorbed and less can be utilized.   There's some question as to how well multivitamins dissolve in the digestive tract.  You can test this at home.  YouTube has instructional videos.   Talk to your nutritionist about adding a B Complex.  The B vitamins are water soluble, so any excess is easily excreted if not needed.  Consider adding additional Thiamine in the forms Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) or thiamine hydrochloride.   Thiamine is needed to help control electrolytes.  Without sufficient thiamine, the kidneys loose electrolytes easily resulting in low sodium and chloride.   We need extra thiamine when we're emotionally stressed, physically ill, and when we exercise regularly, are an athlete, or do physical labor outdoors, and in hot weather.  Your return to activities and athletics may have depleted your thiamine and other B vitamins to a point symptoms are appearing.   The deficiency symptoms of B vitamins overlap, and can be pretty vague, or easily written off as due to something else like being tired after a busy day.  The symptoms you listed are the same as early B vitamin deficiency symptoms, especially Thiamine.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms can appear in as little as three days.  I recognize the symptoms as those I had when I was deficient.  It can get much worse. "My symptoms are as follows: Dizziness, lightheaded, headaches (mostly sinus), jaw/neck pain, severe tinnitus, joint stiffness, fatigue, irregular heart rate, post exercise muscle fatigue and soreness, brain fog, insomnia.  Generally feeling unwell." I took a B 50 Complex twice a day and extra thiamine in the forms Benfotiamine and TTFD.  I currently take the Ex Plus supplement used in this study which shows B vitamins, especially Thiamine B 1, Riboflavin B2, Pyridoxine B 6, and B12 Cobalamine are very helpful.   A functional evaluation of anti-fatigue and exercise performance improvement following vitamin B complex supplementation in healthy humans, a randomized double-blind trial https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10542023/

Malabsorption of vitamins and minerals is common in celiac disease.  It's important to eat healthy nutrient dense diets like the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet that has similarities to the Mediterranean diet mentioned in one of the studies.   Is there a link between diet and painful temporomandibular disorders?
