How To Tell What The Reaction Is From?!

Does anyone know the typical timeframe from when you ingest gluten to when the symptoms come? I have been gluten free for almost 2 weeks. I've been eating great. I've been feeling great. Then, all of the sudden on Monday I got sick. I had smelly silent gas all day, a growling stomach and then it was capped off at night by 2 bowel movements of "dark pile." Tuesday morning I was a little gassy; nothing major. And then it all stopped. I wonder if it was something from Saturday or Sunday or before...I have a food journal and I want to try to pinpoint this!!

Thoughts?!

It sounds like you ate something or got CC'd. For me the first few months were hard. You think you are doing great and then you get hit. If I get CC'd(knock on wood b/c it's been awhile!) it is anywhere from an hour to the next day that I can tell.

Is there something in your food diary that you are questioning? Could something have been cooked on/in something that had gluten on it?

everyone seems a little different, for me it depends if I inhale something or eat something with unknown gluten or its from cross contamination. Anywhere between 10 minutes to a few hours after.

The worst for me is when I inhale flour or something in the air. Just cant go into bakeries!

Hi,

I guess it depends on how sensitive you are and how much gluten you had. I had to go back onto gluten based meals to get an endoscopy done and became sick about half an hour after ingesting some normal bread. However, if I get CC'd or there is gluten hidden in a sauce or something, I usually go on blissfully unaware until the following morning.

For me the time frame is variable, the amount ofgluten doesn't sem to exert a measureable control over the other variability.

Issues like general health, what your immune system is up to as well wtc. seem to play a bigger part.

I can get sweats and mood effects after hours and gastro might take 4 hours or 4 days. Also once glutened it comes and goes. I might have a good day or two then it comes back. Sometimes I'll have an epidode where I literally run a fever and have explosive D, sometimes its far milder.

When you constantly take riss (like eating out every week) this can be very hard to pindown. One can overlap or you think you got glutened again and its just last weeks .. coming back for a single poop episode.

The only way I found this out was.

1/ Throw anything non gluten-free outof my kitchen

2/ Eat only at home for 3-4 months (and I mean only food prepared from scratch from home and I really mean scratch, no packets etc. just meat, veg, fruit)

3/ Keep a detailed food and symptom diary.

I did this for 6 months more or less (and its when I really got the last 10% better). Doing this I found that (for me) a single glutening might persist for weeks though it becomes less frequent and less violent overall. I found before a lot of the time I presumed I had slipped up again in the past it was a repercussion of an earlier glutening. With time you get a feeling for the differencebetween a delicate tum and gluten, I'm convnced that this is the only real way to do it though hard as it is and wish I'd known this to start off.

Lots of people say they are gluten-free yet take risks a lot. Apparently the average times a person should have D in a year is 4-6. 6 is nursing mothers and high risk groups. Any more and ... well its not normal.

Plently of people get told "oh you have IBS as well" I don't beleive this is true in 99% of the cases, I think its glutening and people don't realise because they never got to a place with 100% gluten-free. If you eat out, share a kitchen etc. these are allrisks and if you eat food from here 2-3 times a day the chance is you will get CC ..perhaps once a week, perhaps once a month... but because gluten and its effects takes so long to decay these all run together.

just my 2c

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
