How Long For The Gluten Reaction To Show Up?

Question......If I get glutened today is it possible that the reaction comes in 2,3 or more days?????? I had 4 slices of bread this morning and I am still feeling ok (biopsy on Friday and doc said I should have some gluten for the biopsy to be positive, yes I know that it is not going to change anything but just in case...) I am gluten sensitive, it is for sure, I just do not get it why today nothing happened.....

I never know when my reaction will come. I could run to the bathroom with severe D within twenty minutes, or it could suddenly hit me the next day or the day after.

So, just because you haven't reacted yet, you likely still will. On the other hand, some people stop having obvious reactions once they are healed. I guess you'll soon find out which category you fall in!

thank you ursa...I guess I haven't healed yet cause 3 weeks earlier eczema started almost right away....But now nothing like this....any way

Last question: the only wierd thing I had today, 2 hours after eating bread, was a strong pain in the chest that felt like it was my heart. It was a pain I remember well from my gluten period. Is that a symptom????

Thanks again ursa...

I get symptoms after about 2 hours--that hasn't changed in almost 3 years. The actual symptoms that I get have changed, though. The pain in your chest is most likely reflux--I had that so bad at one point that I went through cardiac testing to make sure it wasn't my heart.

It's not unusual for some people's symptoms to hit a day or two later--or in as little as a few minutes. It's so individual.

HI,

I would like to add something about the chest pain. I had a horrible one last night, but mine is not reflux. Though I believe for many it is. I have skeletal issues. My bones go out of place all the time. I joke that I wish I was married to a chiropractor. I do believe this is glutten intolarant related. When I get my terrible chest pains, it is because my breast plate is out of place. It hurts in the middle of my chest, in my back, and pulls on my lower ribs. The only relief I get is to lay down straight on my back and push on the upper part of my breast plate. With reflux, laying down makes it worse. For me sitting up makes my pain worse.

Just wanted to add another option.

:D I don't mind at all. When I say "most definately" I mean that yes--reflux is a symptom of a gluten reaction. It's also a symptom of Celiac--many people have it before being diagnosed and it improves when on the gluten free diet.

The pain in your chest is probably from either acid from your stomach or gas that shoots upward. I tend to have gas with a gluten reaction that shoots upward--I get pain and pressure in the center of my chest and also pressure at the base of my throat.

Sorry I wasn't more clear before, if there's anything else you would like to ask, please do :)

!!!!! :D You are helping me a lot! Now I understand completely but thank you for making me feel free to ask if there was anything not clear!

The pain in the chest you are describing is exactly what I felt today. And that pressure at the base of the throat....Oh yes it is horrible....so that is a symptom...Good to know I pobably not gonna have my first heart attack......

My doctor told me that I would need to have at least one gluten filled meal every day for a month before the biopsy otherwise I could get an false negative. Even though a lot of people get stomach symptoms within minutes of ingesting gluten, it takes weeks for the damage to the villi to become bad enough to be noticeable on a biopsy. Had you been gluten free for long before this?

Its also quite treatable (short term).

You possibly keep coughing too (or clearing your throat). Pre-diagnosis I had this so bad I was breathing in so much stomach acid it paralysed my lungs.

Omneparazole will stop the acid (short term) and make sure your bed is elevated at the head end (A few thick books under the matress etc.)

Acid reflux can feel like a heart attack ...the good news is its not. If you can get the omneparazole then it will relieve the stomach and this will give you some rest.

Had you been gluten free for long before this?

At first I didn't know that and then I've started a topic in the forum about my biopsy and everyone kept telling me that after 4 months of gluten-free diet there is no way I could ever have a positive biopsy with just 2 days of some gluten. I told my doc and he said he believes that even with 2 days he is going to see it......I trust the forum's experience but I had some gluten today and yesterday just in case and that's all and I am going to have the biopsy not to see if I am a celiac but to find out why I keep feeling nausea and having pain. He said that even with negative biopsy he is definately sure I am a celiac because of the eczema and the other extremely severe symptoms that immediately or within few days disappear when I go gluten-free.

So you are confirming once more what everybody told me and I thank you for doing that. :)

      Hello, @hjayne19, About half of the people with Celiac disease react to the protein Casein in dairy the same as to gluten with the inflammation and antibodies and all. Reacting to Casein is not the same as lactose intolerance nor a dairy allergy. Damaged villi are incapable of producing lactAse, the enzyme that digests lactOse, the sugar in dairy....

      You may be cross reacting to the protein "casein" in dairy, which is structurally similar to gluten. People assume lactose intolerance is the only problem with dairy. It is not, at least for the celiac community.

I just wish doctors understood. I am with new gi and new pcp but im falling apart because blood work is fabulous.Im so ANGERY.I have reached out to my local representative, in Stanislaus but its just weekly stuff.Im going to need to physical go down there.Any recommendations on what to say and do because this is absolutely ridiculous. If I didn't have my husband though we are really hurting with one income, I would absolutely be one of the homeless population. Thats alarming begging to be heard about a diagnosis that was given as an adult and dealing with this, medical needs to stick to patients regardless of switching insurance or doctor.

      Hello, @hjayne19, About half of the people with Celiac disease react to the protein Casein in dairy the same as to gluten with the inflammation and antibodies and all.  Reacting to Casein is not the same as lactose intolerance nor a dairy allergy.  Damaged villi are incapable of producing lactAse, the enzyme that digests lactOse, the sugar in dairy.  When the villi grow back, the villi can resume making lactase again.  I react to casein. Keep in mind that part of the autoimmune response to gluten and casein is the release of histamine.  Histamine causes inflammation, but it is also powerful excitory neurotransmitter, causing heightened mental alertness.  Histamine release is what causes us to wake up in the morning.  Unfortunately, excessive histamine can cause insomnia.  Our bodies can make histamine, but foods we eat contain different amounts of histamine, too.  Our bodies can clear a certain amount of histamine, but if overwhelmed, chronic high histamine levels can keep inflammation going and cause other health problems.   I got very weary of playing Sherlock Holmes trying to deduce what I was reacting to this week, so I adopted the low histamine version of the Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet designed by a doctor with Celiac, Dr. Sarah Ballantyne.  Her book, The Paleo Approach, has been most helpful.   The low histamine AIP diet cuts out lots of foods that are known to be irritating to the digestive tract.  After a few weeks, when my system was calmer and healing, I could try adding other foods to my diet.  It was much easier starting with safe foods, adding one thing at a time, and checking for reactions than trying to figure out what I was reacting to with so many variables.  I learned to recognize when I had consumed too much histamine from different combinations of foods.  Everyone is different and can tolerate different amounts of histamine in their food.  B Vitamins help us make enzymes that break down histamine.  Vitamin D helps regulate and calm the immune system.  Supplementing with Thiamine helps prevent mast cells from releasing histamine.  Keeping a food-mood-poo'd journal helps identify problematic foods.   I hope you will consider trying the AIP diet.

      Hi @knitty kitty  Just revisiting this to get some help. I found after understanding the extent of my anxiety, my sleep got a little better. Flash forward to a few weeks later I have had a few bad sleeps in a row and I feel desperate for a good nights sleep. I understand worrying about it won’t help but one thing I had tied things too was dairy. Initially when I went gluten free I felt great for the first few weeks then started having some stomach pain. So thought maybe I was lactose intolerant. I started eating lactose free Greek yogurt and that did help take the cramping away I guess. Over the last few months I haven’t eaten it every single day and I went a few weeks without it. The last few nights I did have a small amount with breakfast and noticed that was the only new thing I’ve really added to my diet. I had seen a few other posts about this. Is it possible to still react to lactose free? Would this potentially be a dairy allergy? Or something else.
