? About Being Glutened

I have a quick question. I started my gluten-free diet almost 4 weeks ago now. I just found out that the black bean burger that I thought was gluten free actually isn't, and I've probably eaten about 4-5 of them in these 4 weeks....I really haven't noticed a reaction to them (i.e., diarrhea and pain, which was my #1 biggest symptom). Has anyone experienced eating gluten when starting the diet and not having a reaction??? I did have one day where I had to rush to the bathroom in pain...so perhaps it could have been a cummulative delayed reaction??? Typically, I always suspected my reactions to be fairly immediate since after meals were torture for me.

Just curious in others experience. Thanks :)

My doc said it is typical to have a delayed reaction to getting glutened. Previously when you were regularly eating gluten - you were probably regularly in abdominal distress. Without the gluten in your system - it may take a couple of days for your digestive & immune system to respond to the gluten.

Hope this helps!

      Should I ask for more testing? Celiac vs. Gluten Sensitivity

      You really saved me as I was on day 4 of 3 g per day for 6 weeks. Thank you very much!

      Two weeks is the minimum according to the guideline. I would go for four weeks if you can endure it, just to make sure.

      Thank you so much! So I can do 10 g worth of gluten in the form of gluten powder per day for two weeks and that should be enough?

      It applies to both blood tests and biopsies. Guidelines for the gluten challenge have been revised for the very issue your question raises. It was felt by medical professionals that the longer term but less intense consumption of gluten approach was not proving to be reliable for testing purposes and was resulting in too many false negatives. But do keep in mind that the gluten consumption doesn't have to be in the form of bread slices. It can come in any form: pasta, cake, wraps, etc. Another approach would be to buy gluten powder at a health food store and mix it in a shake. The idea is to get at least 10g of gluten daily, whatever form it comes in.

      Hey there, You mentioned that current guidelines recommend to eat the equivalent of 4-6 slices of wheat bread for several weeks. Is it ok to do less for a longer period of time, for example 2 slices for 6 weeks? Also, does this recommendation apply to blood tests as well as the biopsy, or do they each have different timelines? Thanks in advance!
