Being Glutened

I was just wondering how long it takes you guys to react when you have eaten gluten. I've been on the diet for about 3 months now and when I ate gluten I probably felt abnormal about 3 days later. I've never been diagnosed with Celiac though my doctor thought I should go on the diet since nothing else was working because I used to get real sick before going gluten free, and because we all know that it may take forever to get diagnosed. I'm still debating whether I have it or not, and now that I'm gluten free, tests definitely won't help. If I have been glutened I usually feel really tired and my stomach doesn't feel right and I don't really have diarreah but they aren't solid either.

As a celiac I react differently to the amount of gluten I ingest. If it is trace amount it may take me 3 days before I have symptoms and then it is only upset stomach. If I get a larger amount - I'm in the bathroom within 30 minutes. I can usually tell within 10 minutes if I ate something wrong.

i react differently depending on what and how much i ingest. sometimes i'm running for the bathroom within 10 minutes but other times it can take 12-24 hours. one thing i noticed is that i'll always break out with a big gross pimple(s) on my face within 24-36 hours. that's how i know for sure i've been glutened. i'm still trying to wean dairy back into my diet so that is sometimes the cause for my frequent trips to the bathroom. it can be confusing but once i see that tell-tale zit, i know i've been glutened.

I usually react about 4-5 hours later. Depending on how bad the glutening was determines how long I'll feel sick. Just last weekend I got some contamination and had gurgles and all of that for about 2 hours but then I was fine. If it's really bad, it could last me a day or two.

I can feel it coming on after about 2-3 hours.

Ok...I wrote this post awhile ago and I'm still cramping and having to run to the bathroom...I feel like I constantly have to go. It's been more than a week since I ate gluten and was just wondering if this is normal to feel sick for this long? :unsure: And I didn't start to get sick until 3 days after I ate gluten...is this weird or abnormal?

everyone reacts differently but i'm sure it's not completely unheard of to still feel crappy for a few days. maybe you're ingesting gluten somewhere and you don't know it? some prescription meds have gluten. also some people become sensitive to dairy and/or soy. (personally, i can't tolerate much more than a cup of milk with my morning cereal or else i get crampy and diarrhea.) oh and nightshades too are another food group that some Celiacs develop reactions to...potatoes, tomatoes, eggplant, peppers.

It could very well be normal for you. Everyone is different. I've read posts from some who are sick for 2-3 WEEKS! I think that's the extreme. (My heart goes out to them.)

I used to have D for 3-4 days, followed by nearly 2 weeks of fatigue and generally ukky feeling.

Now, 2 years later, a glutening gives me D for 3-4 hours, followed by 3-5 days of uck.

That's me, though. some people get sicker with a glutening after some time gluten free.

As time goes by and you are very strickly gluten-free, you will begin to notice a pattern when accidentally glutened.

I have a range of symptoms that last for about a month total. The stomach stuff lasts about two weeks.

Oooh...I hope mine doesn't last for that long...I was happy having normal poopies, I've even been constipated sometimes haha that's a first in my life! I definitely don't want to go back because this little reminder is not pleasant.

Hi,

I have been on the gluten free diet for about 4 years now and so to hopefully answer your question, when I come in contact with wheat, barley, or oats (even a crum or same oil) I will get sick in about 5 minutes. I can tell when I get abnormal coughs and dont feel good at all. Also a small rash apears right on my hip bone (that still has me confused) and I spend alot of time in the bathroom and am very week and tired. Although many get more sick than I do. So really everyone is different. I know what you mean about the tests, I had 13 blood tests, even went to the childrens hospital for extra tests ( Im now 15) and had an alergy test and they all told me that it was a possibility but also it wasnt extreme. Well I went on the diet for a week and gained 7 pounds (which was a good thing because being in 6th grade I was only 64 pounds). So honestly I would say if it works for you and you are feeling good go for it because it would never hurt, and your symptoms you may get to notice more often. Hope I could somewhat help.

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      Hi Jane: You may want to try the D3 I now take. I have reactions to fillers and many additives. Sports Research, it is based in the USA and I have had no bad reactions with this brand. The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free. I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree...

      Insomnia help

      Thank you for your post, @nanny marley It is interesting what you say about 'It's OK not to sleep'. Worrying about sleeping only makes it much harder to sleep. One of my relatives is an insomniac and I am sure that is part of the problem. Whereas I once had a neighbour who, if she couldn't sleep, would simply get up again, make a cup of tea, read,...

      It could be a fructan intolerance? How do you do with dates? https://www.dietvsdisease.org/sorry-your-gluten-sensitivity-is-actually-a-fructan-intolerance/

      Unexpected gluten exposure risk from cultivated mushrooms

      Thank’s for addressing the issue of mushrooms. I was under the impression that only wild mushrooms were gluten-free. Have been avoiding cultivated mushrooms for years. Also, the issue of smoked food was informative. In France last year, where there is hardly any prepared take-out food that is gluten-free, I tried smoked chicken. Major mistake!

The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free.  I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree with me -  I just keep trying and have finally settled on Sports Research. I take NAKA Women's Multi full spectrum, and have not felt sick after taking 2 capsules per day -  it is a Canadian company. I buy both from Amazon. I wish you well in your searching, I know how discouraging it all is. Florence.

      highly unlikely  NOTHING and I mean NOTHING else has ever caused me these kinds of symptoms I have no problem with dates, they are a large part of my diet In fact, I eat a very high fiber, very high vegetable and bean diet and have for many years now. It's considered a whole foods plant based or plant forward diet (I do now eat some lean ground turkey but not much) I was off dairy for years but recently had to add back plain yogurt to meet calcium needs that I am not allowed to get from supplements (I have not had any problem with the yogurt)   I eat almost no processed foods. I don't eat out. almost everything I eat, I cook myself I am going to keep a food diary but to be honest, I already know that it's wheat products and also barley that are the problem, which is why I gradually stopped eating and buying them. When I was eating them, like back in early 2024, when I was in the middle of moving and ate out (always had bread or toast or rolls or a sub or pizza) I felt terrible but at that time was so busy and exhausted that I never stopped to think it was the food. Once I was in my new place, I continued to have bread from time to time and had such horrible joint pain that I was preparing for 2 total knee replacements as well as one hip! The surgery could not go forward as I was (and still am) actively losing calcium from my bones. That problem has yet to be properly diagnosed and treated   anyway over time I realized that I felt better when I stopped eating bread. Back at least 3 yrs ago I noticed that regular pasta made me sick so I switched to brown rice pasta and even though it costs a lot more, I really like it.   so gradually I just stopped buying and eating foods with gluten. I stopped getting raisin bran when I was constipated because it made me bloated and it didn't help the constipation any more (used to be a sure bet that it would in the past)   I made cookies and brownies using beans and rolled oats and dates and tahini and I LOVE them and have zero issues eating those I eat 1 or more cans of beans per day easily can eat a pound of broccoli - no problem! Brussels sprouts the same thing.   so yeh it's bread and related foods that are clearly the problem  there is zero doubt in my mind

Last week I decided to try a Floradix Magnesium supplement which seems to be helping me to sleep better.  It is a liquid magnesium supplement, so easy to take.  It is gluten free (unlike the Floradix iron supplement).  Might be worth a try.
