Gluten Reactions And Reaction Times

I seem to have two different reactions when glutened. Does anyone else react like this?

1) Cramps, diarrhea within a half hour of eating. Go a few times. Then 2 days later canker sores, very light brain brain and irritability. Lasts maybe 2-3 days

2) 2 days after-No D, canker sores, brain fog, feel like I have been beat up, flu-head (?) achy, 4th day boom-all of a sudden depression and anxiety. Don't want to be around people lots of noise all around me, joint pain and just plain miserable for about 2-2.5 weeks.

Then I get to the point I can say I really feel good today.

Usually closer to a weekend. Then we go out to eat and it starts over. I am giving up going out or to group events.

Doing great today.

I'm pretty new to this gluten-free lifestyle also but have learned that I react sometimes almost before I'm done eating but at that point it is a full/bloated feeling. then it "grows" for almost 2 hrs at which time I am usually pretty miserable (about an 8 on a 0-10 scale)--pain, feeling "pregnant", visible bloating. This is usually around bedtime which makes trying to sleep a lot of fun! then by morning the bloating is down and I can usually have a bowel movement (I've been labeled IBS-C) and feel better. then if I am careful I can be at about a 2-4 on a 0-10 scale the rest of that day until about 24 hrs has passed. All this does make me feel tired, not so much brain foggy but tired and a bit "down"--maybe due to discouraged that I either tried to be careful and had some no-no anyway (maybe CC) or that sure enuf I have to eat this way "forever"). There are many people on this forum who have great guidance for us newbies and I have read several postings and reactions are, apparantly, as individual as each person. so I think the key is to know how you react so you can be aware that you had a no-no and not eat that particular thing again. Also be sure to accees the "Unsafe Foods" on this site's sidebar. Very helpful!!

I would say I get somewhat those same reactions. If I eat gluten on accident I too get Diarrhea withing an hour or so, but sometimes its not until awhile later, but I do in fact get canker(sp?) sores in my mouth on the inside of my bottom lip everytime I eat gluten. Most of the time when I get sick from gluten it is from eating out, it' so hard to not eat out!! I hope this helps and good luck, Sean.

      Celiac symptoms but negative endoscopy and antibody test + family history of gastro problems

      By NoriTori · Posted

      @Scott Adams No one said anything about eating gluten consistently until testing, the appointment was scheduled and an address was given. I don't even have access to the results as it stands. I was just told "everything looks fine, but slight irritation." I don't know if they took a biopsy because I have no access to the results. I don't know how many samples they took (I recently learned they're supposed to take more than one), I don't know what things looked like internally, it was just word of mouth and I didn't know any better to pry and get copies of everything. And I know! I also have chronic Anemia, never truly resolved UNTIL I went gluten free, and low vitamin D (fairly normal in black community), and low creatine (also resolved with gluten free diet). I plan to request a new dermatologist! As well as a referral to Gastro. Food/symptom diary is a great idea though. I have no way of cooking as it stands, so even just the basics wouldn't work for me.

      @NoriTori, "gluten intolerance" is a general term that can refer to either celiac disease or NCGS. NCGS is often referred to as "gluten sensitivity" for short. Though, admittedly, there is still a great deal of inconsistency in the use of terms by the general public.

      @trents A gluten intolerance is a real possibility! I never ruled it out, but am keen on finding out the EXACT cause. I'd want testing done again to be sure it's not celiac, or SIBO (which I've considered) or other digestive disorder. Celiac seems the most pertinent considering its implications.

      Thanks so much Scott. I would be incredibly grateful to the gluten gods if eliminating oats was the magic cure. In the meantime, it's nice to have moral support!

      Eating gluten before blood test

      By trents · Posted

      Understood. And don't beat yourself up about this. Many are in the same boat as you, having experimented with the gluten-free diet before getting formerly tested. It is a logical, common sense approach when you don't have the knowledge about how testing works or you don't have the healthcare resources to afford testing. And some experience such severe reactions to gluten that it is impossible to get through the gluten challenge in order to get tested. So, they must live with the ambiguity of not knowing for sure if they suffer from celiac disease or NCGS. But at the end of the day, the antidote is the same for both. Namely, life-ling abstinence from gluten. Recently there was an article on posted on this forum about the develop of a new testing method for diagnosing celiac disease that do not require a gluten challenge. It is still in the developmental stage and probably years away from becoming main streams even if it pans out. But there is hope at least.
