Could I Be Feeling Symptoms 3 Days After Eating Gluten?

hi everyone -

my huzzband and i went to

a friend's house for a bbq on sunday.

(its now wednesday.)

our friend asked me if there

was anything i couldn't eat

besides gluten --

so i thought i was safe!

we ended up having a delish

flank steak (no hamburgers and dogs

at this bbq!)

well, i was helping our host

cut the steak before we sat down

and i asked what

she used as a marinade...

herbs, seasonings...SOY SAUCE!!!!!! : (

i didn't know what to do -

(i know now that many ppl dont

realized exactly what gluten is,

so i need to be more

CLEAR next time)

and i didn't want to be rude.

so i ate the steak.

(i am not sure what got into me,

i NEVER knowingly ingest gluten!!

but it did...)

and afterwards, i felt fine!

or so i thought...

on tuesday night, i started

to feel pretty crappy -

stomach ache, nausea

and today -- its 100 times worse.

a horrible stomach ache

super nauseas

exhausted

foggy headed

bathroom stuff

ugh, it sucks!

could this REALLY be from the

soy sauce marinated steak

i ate THREE DAYS AGO??!?

i thought that if i ate gluten

(esp after being glu-free for a year now!)

that i would feel the effects right away.

is it possible that i am

just feeling the effectS?

???

I've had it take that long. Usually now its 24 hours or 48. But sometimes 3 days. You know from the symptoms it couldn't be anything else...So sorry to hear you are going through this. I have found taking some of those gluten digesting enzymes at or near the time you have the gluten helps. After the fact, I have found having a couple of repeated doses of baking soda in water helps interspersed (at hour intervals) with apple cider vinegar in water... And then later if no D, detox herbs...

Yes it can definately take 3 days. When I did my MD assisted elimination diet he told me to only add foods every 7 days. Intolerances can be delayed reaction. When I added wheat back in on the elimination diet I noticed a couple little things within 24 hours but it took a full 3 days before the D hit. Even 6 years into the diet that is still my pattern. I will notice irritiability and depression right away, and my balance will take a hit and my hair will start to fall within 24 hours, but my D waits for day 3. Every body is different but eventually you will notice your personal pattern.

I've had the same thing. The weekend before last we were eating out at a restaurant that we use frequently. They know that I can't have gluten and was offered a "special" grilled vegetables and rice. It wasn't printed on the menu so I couldn't check ingredients. Before it was served they asked if it was OK if the rice was fried and not boiled and I was assured it wouldn't contain anything I couldn't have. Anyway, a day and a bit later I felt really off for about 3-4 days - a bit nauseous, night sweats, leg cramps etc. and couldn't understand why. Anyway, were at same restaurant last weekend and the "special" was printed on the menu :"fried rice in soy sauce". I asked if that was what I had had - answer yes. I had to AGAIN explain what gluten free meant and the consequences of a coeliac eating it.

It can be really annoying. Hopefully it wont happen again but just makes you realise that you need to constantly double check.

I've taken 2-3 days to react every time, and my reactions last for weeks. The longer you go gluten free, some people have less of a reaction, some people have more. Mine is more of a reaction.

My 11 yr old daughter is having a terrible reaction to gluten that I think she got at a restaurant yesterday. this is the longest it has taken her to get a reaction. It has been a long time since she has had any gluten, that must be why this one is bad. Can I ask what gluten digesting items you use Bea? She has been taking acti-zyme.

thank you, Christy

It takes me about 3 days too. I'm sorry this happened- we all make mistakes!

I need to get some again. Last time I was in the store I saw some "glutenzyme" I think. There are other varieties just as good that are cheaper. I'll look and let you know. As I recall they are mixtures of enzymes and probiotics.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      My only proof

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      By RUKen · Posted

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.

      I've used magnesium taurinate and magnesium taurate vitamins.  Didn't notice much of a difference when I used them.

      Anyone experimented with Taurine supplementation either via electrolyte powders or otherwise? Thanks
