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

      Ectopic heartbeats - any relation to digestive issues?

      By Idnam · Posted

      They do work for me. I am feeling much better now that I am watching my histamine intake and only take the DAO once  a day.   I had acid reflux for 12 years and was prescribed PPI's.  which I refused to take. Ranitidine was prescribed as an option that I did use only as and when I had chest pain. They were prescribed for me to reduce the acid in my body.

      This is difficult for me to deal with.  B complex is what stands between me and migraines.  Whenever I stop B for just a few days, I get a migraine.  All my adult life I would get a violent migraine for 3 days like clockwork until a doctor told me to try B complex and it worked.  The only time I get a migraine is when I've run out of B.  This has worked for me for over 15 years.  I am soon to be 79.   My cardiologist has me stop all vitamins for about 3 days and I always have a migraine when I go in for the bloodwork.   D level is nearly at optimal.  I don't take A, I get enough from food.   What a dilemma!

      I think the best approach is to lean how to read product labels, especially the allergen warnings, and these lists might be helpful:

      Any bad experience with King Arthur Gluten-free bread flour

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      It looks like you are referring to this product: https://shop.kingarthurbaking.com/items/gluten-free-bread-flour Their site says: "Made with gluten-free wheat starch to give baked goods incredible taste and texture, it’s ideal for classic yeasted recipes like artisan boules, bagels, cinnamon rolls, and burger buns", and it is true that Codex quality wheat starch is gluten-free, and does make better baked goods. However, it also contains very low levels of gluten (under 20ppm), and some celiacs do react to this level, so if you are super sensitive it's best to avoid it. They also make this very similar product, which doesn't include any wheat ingredient, and is certified gluten-free:...

      Our Functional Medicine doctor has always ordered the Spectracell Test for Micronutrient Deficiencies.  It tests the intracellular levels of the nutrients, not blood levels.  When high dose, targeted supplementation did not resolve the deficiencies after retesting at 6 months and then a year, he ordered genetic tests.  I have a genetic inability to process Vitamin D, B12 and antioxidants, so I am on high doses of those for life.  The rest of the initial deficiencies resolved within 6 months to a year and a good multi vitamin is sufficient to address those.  My husband has historically had high homocysteine levels and his low folate, B 12 and B6  levels are because of his MTHFR gene...
