Delayed Food Reactions

Hi,

Anyone experience (or know that they do!) delayed symptoms for any of their intolerances. Generally for me my symptoms are extreme tiredness and hunger straight after eating as well as a blown up stomach but like today I'm fairly sure I haven't had any gluten, accidental or otherwise yet my symptoms are quite severe.

Just made me think it could be a delayed reaction to something I ate at the weekend, not gluten but I accidentally had a lot of food that sneakily had milk powder in it which I didn't notice until after I'd eat quite a bit of it and I'm pretty sure milk is a problem food for me.

Any experiences/thoughts on delayed onset food allergies?

What a pain in the @ss these reactions are...oh to eat like a 'normal' person.

Yup - dairy and soy reliably give me a rash that sets in about 36 hours after I eat them.

My neuro symptoms and stomach growling happen pretty quick. My GI issues, DH breakout and muscle and joint pain don't normally hit until 3 or 4 days later. My allergist said this was normal for intolerances and that for some the reaction can take up to a week.

well, I'm still fairly new to all that (1 month gluten-free),

but it seems that for me, the GI symptoms hit around a half day after accidental "glutening", and the rest of the symptoms (brain fog, rash...) arrive a couple days later...think I got glutened about 6 days ago, my digestive tract is getting back to normal (BM need time but insane bloating was gone pretty quick), and the fatigue and rash are just begginning to slow down now...

I hope this is all going to be behind me very soon, & hope the same for you!!

Just out of interest when you start on the gluten free diet, how far back does one glutening put you?

I've gone gluten, soy and dairy free and think I've just about found a daily diet that I can stick to but fearful that because the person I live with isn't gluten free that a crumb or two may have sneaked under the radar onto my plate/food and into my stomach.

I felt minor symptoms immediately after that pie incident on Sunday, but I didn't start to get severe abdominal pain until late last night and this morning and it's steadily getting worse. It doesn't help that I crash-tested a few questionable things, such as a single Quaker Quake. I've learned my lesson, but I've just gotten so tired of reading labels and planning every bite.

Relatively on topic... Anyone have any post-glutening tips? Do you simplify your diet as much as possible your system returns to "normal"? Focus more on hydration? Or just make sure you don't get glutened again so as not to compound the symptoms?

Simple foods, lots of water, no dairy and probiotics. There is anecdotal evidence that LGlutamine helps, but I have not tried it yet.

Why do you say no probiotics?

I'm sure she means simple food, lots of water, probiotics and no dairy.

I've been drinking lots of water today and eating the basics (fresh fruits, veggies, some lean meat, peanut butter, a potato and some gluten free banana bread). I've noticed some definite improvement though the pain is worst within an hour of eating; the general abdominal pain is now more localized. It's bothering me, but at least I'm not curled up in a ball.

I've been avoiding dairy for over a week and started taking a multi-vitamin. Any probiotic suggestions?

      Probably celiac but also confused

      By trents · Posted

      A classic case of more than one medical problem going on at a time. We often forget that can happen. Are you concerned about your weight loss? Is your current weight too thin for your height, gender and general build?

      Thanks for clarifying! I'll put the gluten free thing on hold then. In late december last year I suddenly started having digestive issues I never had before. My stomach started feeling tight most of the time, I got full very quickly, little to no appetite, constipation, I started to feel ill after eating - sometimes a stomach ache, sometimes nauseous, or lightheaded, or heart beating fast. Some things worse than others, I started avoiding fatty foods in general because they made me throw up . I haven't had issues with food like this before, so this is all new to me. I started losing weight because eating was such a chore. I hadn't considered it could be celiac, but my GP added it to the list of things to test for and then referred me to the GI specialist when the results came back positive. They also found a large gallstone, which was causing me pain in the pit of my stomach, so I had my gallbladder removed in march. The pain is gone but otherwise everything else, the tightness and sensitivity and lack of appetite remains an issue, and I'm still losing weight. I was around 200 lb in december, right now I'm 152 lb.

      Virus, celiac disease or both?

      By trents · Posted

      @Shining My Light, I am not a doctor or a trained medical professional of any kind. However, I was a hospital chaplain for many years and sat in on countless numbers of medical team meetings with doctors and nurses discussing the medical issues of their patients as well as tests administered and interventions applied. What I can tell you is that many diseases can only be diagnosed by running a battery of tests coming at the problem from different angles. It is normal to not have all the tests give a positive confirmation for a given disease. But rather, a diagnosis is arrived at by looking at what the balance of the test results from all angles suggest. This may especially be true of autoimmune conditions. You need to also understand that the degree and number of vitamin and mineral deficiencies and symptomology depends on a number of factors. For instance: 1. How many "celiac genes" are involved? Homozygous or heterozygous? and which genes? DQ2?, DQ8? or both? 2. How long ago was the onset of the celiac disease? How long has it been acting on the body? 10 months or 10 years? That will make a huge difference. 3. How much gluten has the person been accustomed to consuming since onset of celiac disease? The more they consume, the more damage you would expect. 4. What is the age of the person? Younger people have bodies that are more resilient than older people and can fight against disease more effectively. 5. What other health conditions is their immune system being tasked to deal with? 6. What is their general state of vigor? Some people just have stronger constitutions than others.

      @trents I do like the idea of the shake!  yes. I was expecting to have all my blood tests that were celiac related to be positive. I guess I’m confused about why they wouldn’t be. Nothing else in my blood work even gave a clue as to helping me either. All my vitamins were good other than D and that’s everyone in my state.    @RMJ how impressive to be able to make all those baked goods! I’ve been tasting some gluten free items. There is one thing I found that’s good and it’s Siete Cinnamon churro chips put over ice cream with chocolate syrup . Tastes like fried ice cream!  I’ve also noticed so many more things have a “gluten free” symbol on them. Restaurants mostly but also a lot of packaging. Maybe it’s always been there but obviously since my blood tests I’ve noticed.  I really hoped I would find someone who like me was sick a few weeks prior to getting their  TTG test and it was raised for a viral reason, or it’s a “fluke” or something else.

      I can’t imagine eating 4-6 slices of bread per day, either.  You just need wheat, it doesn’t have to be bread and it doesn’t have to whole wheat. If a piece of cake or a doughnut is about the same size as a slice of bread it’s probably roughly equivalent. Or you could do what Trents suggests and just buy powdered gluten. Gliadin X can help by “digesting” small amounts of gluten contamination.  You would NOT want to take it while eating bread/cake/doughnuts in preparation for an endoscopy because it could make your body react less. I have finally figured out how to make a number of gluten free baked goods. Cakes, cream puffs . . . My neighbors know they are gluten free but say they would never guess otherwise.
