What is the time frame of illnes after eating, say, a small bread crumb? :unsure:

I would like to know this because I just found out that I had Celiac Disease :blink: , and it is frustrating because I still am unsure of what to eat (gluten-free or NGF) <_< . I want to know what I have eaten that makes me experience my/the normal symptoms. :wacko: (Diarrhea, mucas, sorry I have to be so descriptive)

Also, if I knew the time frame, it would be easier to identify the culprit that made me sick and then I can narrow down my gluten-free list. -_-

Thank you for helping me by being so wonderfully active in this forum ^_^ . I swear you guys have saved my life (both figurativly and such) :P . I would be so clueless right now,:huh:

Heather - I am also very new to this. From your email, it sounded like you weren't sure if you needed to eat gluten-free or not. If you have Celiac you definetely have to eat gluten-free. It sounds like you may have the somewhat "silent" celiac (myself also) where you don't have a lot of symptoms other than diarhea. Definetely go gluten-free and see if it stops. If not then you will need to talk with your dr. and look for another food culprit.

This is such a wonderful website! I have learned so much in just a few short days (although I've been on the computer alot) lol! Everyone is very helpful.

Gluten can stay in your system for weeks.

My reactions last 2 weeks usually but it varies from person to person. Everyones body reacts differently and some celiacs do not get symptoms.

You need to eat gluten free though that is a given. If you choose to ignore the diet serious complications such as cancer/diabetes/liver,kidney,gallbladder complications/osteoporosis etc. it's not worth putting your life at risk.

This is literally just as bad as rat poison is for you.

You will find this website very helpful...there are people here that know more then alot of doctors out there. There is info about the good products that we can eat and so forth.

You should print out the safe and forbidden foods list as a guideline till you get to learn more and know what is questionable.https://www.celiac.com/st_main.html?p_catid=12

Hang in there ...it all gets easier with time :D

We can give you some ideas, but no one can really answer that question for you other than you. For me, I get some symptoms (head fogginess, disorientation) within 15-30 minutes, but not always to the same degree. I'll get abdominal pain and noisyness within 8 hours or so, and usually some change in my stool (not extraordinarily significant for me) within twelve, and then fatigue and abdominal annoyance for the next 4-6 days.

I usually experience some tingling,prickly sensations in my lips a few minutes after eating gluten. Once I feel that I stop eating to avoid ingesting anymore. Pay close attention to your body to try and learn any signals it may be giving off when gluten is ingested. I have been able to avoid any serious accidental gluten intake for a good six months now. I will feel a little brain fog and fatigue and how long that lasts depends on how much I ate. I have to eat quite a bit of gluten to get gut problems.

Don't worry about grossing us out. There are threads on this site that are far more graphic than what you just described. :lol: Welcome aboard. This lifestyle isn't as hard as it first appears.

Hi Heather!

You have definitely come to the right place to learn more about the gluten-free lifestyle. It really is quite a special site, and I'll bet that you can find the answer to anything you are curious about as this is a pretty well informed group of folks! It has already been said that everyone reacts differently. I think that I must be among those who are more sensitive reactors because if I eat something with gluten, just one bite will almost instantaniously trigger cramps, bloating and abdominal pain. I look upon it as a blessing rather than a curse, because it makes it easy to pinpoint the offending food. The last time that happened, several months ago, I was bed-ridden for 3 days and kind of delicate for maybe one or two weeks more. I haven't been able to figure out if more food would make me sick longer, since all it takes for me to know I've goofed is just the one bite! Anyway, like they say, listen to your body, although if you have silent symptoms without any obvious indicators, then I guess the best that you can do is be as careful as you can following the diet. (Which is what we all have to do, anyway.)

Keep reading. The more you learn, the easier it will be.

Hi, I love the quote at the end of your message -- I'm a newbie, too! Usually I feel the effects w/in 12 hours max :blink: and am fatigued for at least a week :unsure: . A few times I'v had symptoms and been like "Whaaaa?" In those cases, I figure I got glutened/soyed/dairied and didnt' know it. However, everyone is different on what happens when and how long, based on the little I've been learning so far.

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hi, @Ginger38, I've had shingles in the past.  I understand how miserable you're feeling.   Not only do i have the chickenpox virus lurking about, I also have the cold sore virus that occasionally flares with a huge cold sore on my lip when stressed or exposed to gluten.  The virus lives dormant in the nerves on the left side of my face.  It causes Bell's Palsy (resulting in drooling).  The cold sore virus is also in my eye.  My eye swells up and my vision is diminished permanently whenever I have a flare, so it's of the utmost importance to keep flares away and treat them immediately if they do happen so I don't lose any more vision.   I take the amino acid supplement L-Lysine.  Lysine messes with the replication of viruses, which helps the body fight them off.   I haven't had an outbreak for several years until this year when exceptionally stressed and contaminated, it flared up again. Lysine has been shown to be beneficial in suppression of viruses like the cold sore virus (a herpetic virus), the chickenpox virus (also a herpetic virus), as well as the HIV virus, and even the Covid virus.   I also take additional Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) because Thiamine has antiviral properties as well.   For pain, a combination of Thiamine (like TTFD or Benfotiamine or Thiamine Hydrochloride), with B12 Cobalamine, and Pyridoxine B6 have been shown to have analgesic properties which relieve pain and neuropathy.    The combination of Thiamine B1, Pyridoxine B6 and Cobalamine B12 really does work to relieve pain.  I take it for back pain from crushed vertebrae in my back.  This combination also works on other pain and neuropathy.   I usually buy a supplement that combines all three and also Riboflavin B2 called EXPLUS online.  However, it's made in Japan and the price with the tariffs added makes it really expensive now.  But the combination of Thiamine B1, Pyridoxine B6 and B12 Cobalamine (and Riboflavin B2) still work even if taken separately.   I can't take Tylenol or ibuprofen because of stomach upsets.  But I can take the vitamin combination without side effects.  However, you can take the three vitamins at the same time as other pain relievers for added benefit.  The vitamins help other pain relievers work better. I hope you will try it.  Hopeful you'll feel better quickly. Interesting Reading: Thiamine, cobalamin, locally injected alone or combination for herpetic itching: a single-center randomized controlled trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23887347/ Mechanisms of action of vitamin B1 (thiamine), B6 (pyridoxine), and B12 (cobalamin) in pain: a narrative review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35156556/ Analgesic and analgesia-potentiating action of B vitamins https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12799982/ A Narrative Review of Alternative Symptomatic Treatments for Herpes Simplex Virus https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10301284/

      I think, after reading this, that you areso traumatized by not being able yo understand what your medical advisors have been  what medical conditions are that you would like to find a group of people who also feel traumatized who would agree with you and also support you. You are on a crusade much as the way the US Cabinet  official, the Health Director of our nation is in trying to change what he considers outdated and incorrect health advisories. He does not have the education, background or experience to be in the position he occupies and is not making beneficial decisions. That man suffered a terrible trauma early in his life when his father was assonated. We see now how he developed and worked himself into a powerful position.  Unless you are willing to take some advice or  are willing to use a few of the known methods of starting on a path to better health then not many of us on this Celiac Forum will be able to join you in a continuing series of complaints about medical advisors.    I am almost 90 years old. I am strictly gluten free. I use 2 herbs to help me stay as clear minded as possible. You are not wrong in complaining about medical practitioners. You might be more effective with a clearer mind, less anger and a more comfortable life if you would just try some of the suggestions offered by our fellow celiac volunteers.

      Thus has got to STOP , medical bit believing us! I literally went through 31 years thinking it was just a food allergy as its downplayed by medical if THEY weren't the ones who diagnosed us! Im positive for HLA-DQ2 which is first celiac patient per Iran and Turkey. Here in the States especially in Cali its why do you feel that way? Why do you think your celiac? Your not eating gluten so its something else.Medical caused me depression. I thought I was safe with my former pcp for 25 years considering i thought everything I went through and going through will be available when I get fired again for health. Health not write-ups my health always come back when you're better.Im not and being tossed away at no fault to my own other than shitty genes.I was denied disability because person said he didn't know how to classify me! I said Im celiac, i have ibs, hernia, sciatica, high blood pressure, in constant pain have skin and eye issues and menopause intensified everything. With that my celiac nightmare began to reprove my disregarded disease to a bunch of clowns who think they are my careteam when they said I didn't have...I feel Im still breathing so I can fight this so no body else has to deal with this nightmare. Starting over with " new care team" and waisting more time on why I think I am when diagnosed in 1994 before food eliminated from my diet. P.s everything i went through I did write to medical board, so pretty sure I will continue to have a hard time.
