Just curious to see what you all have for a reaction time on average if you accidentaly eat gluten. I usually feel it gradually build up from within a couple hours with the worst coming the day or two after. What about you all?

My gastro symptoms hit within 1-2 hours and my cluster headaches start within 1-8 hours.

This was a hard question to answer. I get my gluten ataxia and my tummy starts to growl within a couple hours, migraines come the next day along with joint pain and an overwhelming depression but the upset tummy doesn't arrive until 2 or 3 days later. My whole reaction takes about 3 weeks to resolve. My 'pattern' makes it pretty clear to me when I get glutened as there is never any doubt it was gluten and not some bug I picked up. I guess in that respect I am lucky to have multiple system impact.

My answer wasn't exactly a black-or-white one... there is definitely a grey area for me. Sometimes it can take a few days. Other times, it is the following day. A reaction for me is never really immediate, which makes it hard for me to pinpoint exactly when. Plus, one of my major symptoms is C, so it can take a few days to realize I have been glutened.

If I get a migraine, though, I know I have been glutened in the last few days.

My tummy starts to hurt within a few minutes. I use this as a way to 'test' before eating something someone else has prepared. An hour or so later I get headache/fatigue.

I don't have celiac disease, but have tested gluten/casein sensitive. 90% of my worse symptoms are neurological, especially the sensation of dizziness within 10 minutes after eating, but I can get brain fog anytime, even if I haven't ingested anything reactive (just about 7 weeks into this, so still in the healing process, I am sure).

When I first went gluten-free/CF, the reaction would last for about 18 hours, but that is drastically less these days, down to just a couple of hours.

Got glutened yesterday ... BOOOOO! My symptoms start within 1 hour. I bloat like a balloon, the gas starts, then nausea, then the blood sugar drops, then the headaches. My blood sugar will dip all night long into the next day. Then I get pissy. My foul mood spilled over today because I snapped at my friend who said her salsa was gluten free...so I said "SALSA IS SUPPOSED TO BE GLUTEN FREE, WHAT KIND OF CRAPPY SALSA NEEDS GLUTEN!" I'll have to apologize tomorrow :o

15-20 mins my stomach starts to bloat and hurt. This lasts for hours and then the humdinger bathroom visits are usually 6-8 hrs later.

vbecton,

Oddly enough, I was just settling down to eating salsa at a Mexican restuarant (after they had carefully prepared food for me in separate oil) when the waitress told me, "Stop!" They actually put a gluten-containing chicken baste in their Salsa! It's good salsa, so I guess anyone who can have gluten has no reason to complain. But, sadly, yeah, salsa can be dangerous!

OMG! I can't believe they add chicken baste to salsa. HOLY COW! Good to know info though as now I'll pay more attention. I'm from south Texas and we take our salsas and Tex-Mex ultra seriously. It's almost a sport around here to grow the best tomatoes & jalapenos for the best salsa. I'm so glad they told you and you avoided a glutening :D

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
