I think my dinner (7:00) had gluten, but I felt fine that night but started to get the bloating, crampy discomfort at noon the next day and it lasted for 12+ hours. Does anyone have delayed symptoms or do you get immediate discomfort?

Hmmm... when I first started gluten free I remember having a weak moment and eating a peanut butter brownie (well, I guess of all things to gluten yourself on, that would be a good one LOL). I was OK that night but then I think the next day I was having some symptoms. Same for a time I had beer... OK that night but then kinda icky the next day. I think its individual. I am also so new to gluten-free that it will probably take me a while to learn to predict myself.

Iv been glutened once since being gluten free and i reacted Immediately. Then the next couple days were really crappy for me.

It is not uncommon for the reaction to be delayed. That's one factor in making intolerances hard to pinpoint. As for myself I notice some neuro symptoms within hours but the GI upset usually builds up for up to three days then hits full force with D and severe cramps. That ends in a day but for me the reactivation of my ataxia and arthritis and tendon problems continue for another 3 weeks.

I get a migraine almost immediately after being glutened, but the majority of the symptoms don't start until later. Gut pain, bloating, and brain fog are about 12 hours later, usually. For me it depends on the amount ingested, really. My reactions never seem to be quite the same and that is what made it difficult to diagnose.

I get forehead tingles 45 minutes after ingestion, and a migraine progresses from there down my body, shoulders, and then hips over the next few hours. I really feel physically the worst 24-48 hours later as my body starts to ache/cramp/tingle/twitch all over. Lately, nausea (probably migraine/indigestion) have been bothering me on the subsequent days. On day 4-5, my BM's change from the celiac damage, and then I start recovering. Tylenol helps the pain. Tylenol PM helps me get through the roughest nights. Otherwise, I'm up with night sweats, night mares, and heart palpitations.

I get really tired almost immedietly, about 12 hours later I get REALLY hungry, and the brain fog and depression kick in and hang around for 2 days. Day 3 usually feels like I've swallowed a horse and find it hard to actually eat anything, day 4 I get really itchy but generally feel a lot better.. by day 5 and 6 I usually start to feel "normal" again.

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      I'd go with a vodka tonic, but that's just me😉

      Draft gluten-free ciders… can they be trusted ?

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      That and my nutritionist also said that drinking cider is one of the worst drink choices for me, given that I have candida overgrowth.  She said the combination of the alcohol and sugar would be very likely to worsen my candida problem.  She suggested that if I drink, I go for clear vodka, either neat or with a splash of cranberry.   So in summary, I am giving ciders a rest.  Whether it's a gluten risk or sugars and yeast overgrowth, its just not worth it.

      Tea Bags and Gluten

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While plain, pure tea leaves (black, green, or white) are naturally gluten-free, the issue often lies not with the tea itself but with other ingredients or processing. Many flavored teas use barley malt or other gluten-containing grains as a flavoring agent, which would be clearly listed on the ingredient label. Cross-contamination is another possibility, either in the facility where the tea is processed or, surprisingly, from the tea bag material itself—some tea bags are sealed with a wheat-based glue. Furthermore, it's important to consider that your reaction could be to other substances in tea, such as high levels of tannins, which can be hard on the stomach, or to natural histamines or other compounds that can cause a non-celiac immune response. The best way to investigate is to carefully read labels for hidden ingredients, try switching to a certified gluten-free tea brand that uses whole leaf or pyramid-style bags, and see if the reaction persists.

      Inconclusive results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is a challenging and confusing situation. The combination of a positive EMA—which is a highly specific marker rarely yielding false positives—alongside strongly elevated TTG on two separate occasions, years apart, is profoundly suggestive of celiac disease, even in the absence of biopsy damage. This pattern strongly aligns with what is known as "potential celiac disease," where the immune system is clearly activated, but intestinal damage has not yet become visible under the microscope. Your concern about the long-term risk of continued gluten consumption is valid, especially given your family's experience with the consequences of delayed diagnosis. Since your daughter is now at an age where her buy-in is essential for a gluten-free lifestyle, obtaining a definitive answer is crucial for her long-term adherence and health. Given that she is asymptomatic yet serologically positive, a third biopsy now, after a proper 12-week challenge, offers the best chance to capture any microscopic damage that may have developed, providing the concrete evidence needed to justify the dietary change. This isn't about wanting her to have celiac; it's about wanting to prevent the insidious damage that can occur while waiting for symptoms to appear, and ultimately giving her the unambiguous "why" she needs to accept and commit to the necessary treatment. This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.
