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

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.

      Covid caused reoccurrence of DH without eating gluten

      By Jacki Espo · Posted

      This happened to me as well. What’s weirder is that within a couple hours of taking paxlovid it subsided. I thought maybe I got glutened but after reading your post not so sure.

      Hi Tiffany. Thank you for writing your dituation and  circumstancesin such detail and so well writte, too. I particularly noticed what you wrote about brain for and feeling like your brain is swelling and I know from my own experiences that's how it feel and your brain really does swell and you get migraines.    Way back when I was in my 20s I read a book by 2 MD allergist and they described their patient who came in complaining that her brain, inside her cranium, was swelling  and it happened when she smelled a certain chemical she used in her home. She kept coming back and insisting her brain actually swelled in her head. The Drs couldn't explain this problem so they, with her permission, performed an operation where they made a small opening through her cranium, exposed her to the chemical then watched as she brain did swell into the opening. The DRs were amazed but then were able to advise her to avoid chemicals that made her brain swell. I remember that because I occasionally had brain fog then but it was not a serious problem. I also realized that I was becoming more sensitive to chemicals I used in my work in medical laboratories. By my mid forties the brain fog and chemicals forced me to leave my  profession and move to a rural area with little pollution. I did not have migraines. I was told a little later that I had a more porous blood brain barrier than other people. Chemicals in the air would go up into my sinused and leak through the blood brain barrier into my brain. We have 2 arteries  in our neck that carry blood with the nutrients and oxygen into the brain. To remove the fluids and used blood from the brain there are only capillaries and no large veins to carry it away so all those fluids ooze out much more slowly than they came in and since the small capillaries can't take care of extra fluid it results in swelling in the face, especially around the eyes. My blood flow into my brain is different from most other people as I have an arterial ischema, adefectiveartery on one side.   I have to go forward about 20 or more years when I learned that I had glaucoma, an eye problem that causes blindness and more years until I learned I had celiac disease.  The eye Dr described my glaucoma as a very slow loss of vision that I wouldn't  notice until had noticeable loss of sight.  I could have my eye pressure checked regularly or it would be best to have the cataracts removed from both eyes. I kept putting off the surgery then just overnight lost most of the vision in my left eye. I thought at the I had been exposed to some chemical and found out a little later the person who livedbehind me was using some chemicals to build kayaks in a shed behind my house. I did not realize the signifance  of this until I started having appointments with a Dr. in a new building. New buildings give me brain fog, loss of balance and other problems I know about this time I experienced visual disturbances very similar to those experienced by people with migraines. I looked further online and read that people with glaucoma can suffer rapid loss of sight if they have silent migraines (no headache). The remedy for migraines is to identify and avoid the triggers. I already know most of my triggers - aromatic chemicals, some cleaning materials, gasoline and exhaust and mold toxins. I am very careful about using cleaning agents using mostly borax and baking powder. Anything that has any fragrance or smell I avoid. There is one brand of dishwashing detergent that I can use and several brands of  scouring powder. I hope you find some of this helpful and useful. I have not seen any evidence that Celiac Disease is involved with migraines or glaucoma. Please come back if you have questions or if what I wrote doesn't make senseto you. We sometimes haveto learn by experience and finding out why we have some problems. Take care.       The report did not mention migraines.

      My only proof

      Hi Jmartes71 That is so much like my story! You probably know where Laytonville is and that's where I was living just before my 60th birthday when the new Dr. suggested I could have Celiacs. I didn't go on a gluten challange diet before having the Celiac panel blood test drawn. The results came back as equivical as one antibody level was very high but another, tissue transaminasewas normal. Itdid show I was  allergic to cows milk and I think hot peppers. I immediately went gluten free but did not go in for an endoscopy. I found an online lab online that would do the test to show if I had a main celiac gene (enterolab.com). The report came back that I had inherited a main celiac gene, DQ8, from one parent and a D!6 from the other parent. That combination is knows to sym[tons of celiac worse than just inheriting one main celiac gene. With my version of celiac disease I was mostly constipated but after going gluten-free I would have diarrhea the few times I was glutened either by cross contamination or eating some food containing gluten. I have stayed gluten-free for almost 20 years now and knew within a few days that it was right for me although my recovery has been slow.   When I go to see a  medical provide and tell them I have celiacs they don't believe me. The same when I tell them that I carry a main celiac gene, the DQ8. It is only when I tell them that I get diarrhea after eating gluten that they realize that I might have celiac disease. Then they will order th Vitamin B12 and D3 that I need to monitor as my B12 levels can go down very fast if I'm not taking enough of it. Medical providers haven't been much help in my recovery. They are not well trained in this problem. I really hope this helps ypu. Take care.
