I'm on my third day atm.

I haven't been glutened for months even when out but got glutened by c/c when out on Monday night.......it's been really miserable. The D has passed but still stomach cramps and pains so another quiet day but might be able to manage some pottering around the house catching up on things like washing

Glad I am not alone. I am feeling better. Went to bed at 7:30 last night, slept it off. Slept 11 hours. Mild headache but better than yesterday.

My symptoms have a definate progression. The gut issues resolve with in about 3 days but for full resolution of all the other issues takes about 3 weeks.

I react to gluten in a variety of unpleasant ways.

Gut reaction (bloating, gas, pain, constipation): about 2 days

Mental reaction (depression, anxiety, irritability): 2-3 days

Skin reaction (the WORST by far, I get big red extremely painful cystic acne/Dh(?) on my face and scalp)2-3 WEEKS and sometimes a month to go away completely. That is why I am always devstated when I get glutened, the skin reaction is bad and it leaves scars. :(

My worst reaction ever was one time I ate a lot of gluten by mistake (stupid, stupid me!). I had just started eating meat again after being veggie for 3 years and I ate a plateful of tyson chicken strips and rice. Being that I was a vegetarian before I had just assumed all non-breaded meat was gluten free. I had no idea, and God did I pay for it. I thought I was just dying or something until a day later my mom ran in and said that she found out the chicken I ate had wheat in it.

It was terrible, very bad mental issues, I couldn't even think my brain felt like mush, also it did something to my thyroid or something with my circulation, because my entire body felt like ice and I would just shiver and shiver. I had to take hot baths all throughout the day to try and stay warm. Also I broke out in the painful rash all over, it sucked. That time it took a month to go away and I will never be so careless ever ever again!

It depends how often I've been glutened recently. If it's been a while and I've healed from the last time, it might only last a week and after that I'll feel completely fine. If it hasn't been a while, it's about a week of really bad symptoms and then I'll have a couple bad days a week for the next several weeks before it runs its course.

For me it's usually at least 2 days, sometimes up to 4 or 5 depending on how much I eat. Usually, I only get glutened from CC issues so it mostly only lasts a couple days. For me, the worst is the horrible gas and D. Sometimes the gas happens within a couple hours but sometimes it doesn't show up until the next day. Then every time I eat anything, my stomach rumbles and feels unsettled and I have to rush to the bathroom (usually at least 5-6 times by lunchtime). Also, I get depressed/irritable. Sometimes I bloat and get stomach pain. Sometimes I get really tired.

Does anyone else find that their reactions tend to be slightly different each time? I don't mean reaction time, but actual symptoms that come?

For me it seems to depend on how much I ate. I had some Rice Dream frozen dessert that, after I ate it, I realized had barley malt sweetener in it. Within a few hours I had a nasty, horrible sinus headache. I hadn't had any dairy that day, so I know that wasn't it. The headache lasted all night and this morning was gone. Since the barley malt was only an ingredient int he carob chips in the ice cream, it probably wasn't a whole lot.

But I may wake up tomorrow with horrible constipation, so who knows.

If i ate a piece of bread, I'd be vomiting within an hour, and feeling horrible for a day or two.

Dang. I think if I ate a piece of bread I'd honestly probably die.

What I find perplexing is that if I actually eat a piece of bread, my reaction is only slightly more severe than if I get glutened through CC. Strange.

      how much gluten do I need to eat before blood tests?

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after eating them. If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      What you’re describing really does not read like typical IBS-D. The dramatic, rapid normalization of stool frequency and form after removing wheat, along with improved tolerance of legumes and plant foods, is a classic pattern seen in gluten-driven disease rather than functional IBS. IBS usually worsens with fiber and beans, not improves. The fact that you carry HLA-DQ2.2 means celiac disease is absolutely possible, even if it’s less common than DQ2.5, and many people with DQ2.2 present later and are under-diagnosed. Your hesitation to reintroduce gluten is completely understandable — quality of life matters — and many people in your position choose to remain strictly gluten-free and treat it as medically necessary even without formal biopsy confirmation. If and when you’re ready, a physician can help you weigh options like limited gluten challenge, serology history, or documentation as “probable celiac.” What’s clear is that this wasn’t just random IBS — you identified the trigger, and your body has been very consistent in its response.

      oh that's interesting... it's hard to say for sure but it has *seemed* like oats might be causing me some vague issues in the past few months. It's odd that I never really connect specific symptoms to foods, it's more of an all over feeling of unwellness after  eating them.  If it happens a few times after eating the same foods- I cut back or avoid them. for this reason I avoid dairy and eggs.  So far this has worked well for me.  oh, I have some of Bob's Red Mill Mighty Tasty Hot cereal and I love it! it's hard to find but I will be looking for more.  for the next few weeks I'm going to be concentrating on whole fresh fruits and veggies and beans and nuts and seeds. I'll have to find out if grains are truly necessary in our diet. I buy brown rice pasta but only eat that maybe once a month at most. Never liked quinoa. And all the other exotic sounding grains seem to be time consuming to prepare. Something to look at later. I love beans and to me they provide the heft and calories that make me feel full for a lot longer than a big bowl of broccoli or other veggies. I can't even tolerate the plant milks right now.  I have reached out to the endo for guidance regarding calcium intake - she wants me to consume 1000mgs from food daily and I'm not able to get to more than 600mgs right now.  not supposed to use a supplement until after my next round of testing for hyperparathyroidism.   thanks again- you seem to know quite a bit about celiac.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @SilkieFairy! You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) as opposed to celiac disease. They share many of the same symptoms, especially the GI ones. There is no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out.

      By trents · Posted

      Under the circumstances, your decision to have the testing done on day 14 sounds very reasonable. But I think by now you know for certain that you either have celiac disease or NCGS and either way you absolutely need to eliminate gluten from your diet. I don't think you have to have an official diagnosis of celiac disease to leverage gluten free service in hospitals or institutional care and I'm guessing your physician would be willing to grant you a diagnosis of gluten sensitivity (NCGS) even if your celiac testing comes up negative. Also, you need to be aware that oats (even gluten free oats) is a common cross reactor in the celiac community. Oat protein (avenin) is similar to gluten. You might want to look at some other gluten free hot  breakfast cereal alternatives.
