When Do You Know?

[conniebky]

Let's say you have some food that you figure is safe in front of you. Let's say you start eating it.

What happens that lets you know it's gluten?

How soon does it happen?

Immediately?

24 hours later?

thank you

Since I have pretty significant neuro impact I know pretty quickly. Usually within an hour or so I will feel like I am falling to the right even though I am not and my stomach will start to growl. A severe depression will hit within 24 hours and lift about 24 hours later. Then the real 'fun' starts with the joint and muscle pain, upset stomach etc. In all it takes me about 3 weeks to get back to normal.

Interesting question... Hmmm,still too new to being gluten-free to really know for sure. But over the past few weeks when I know I was glutened, I usually had nausea/stomach pain a few hours afterwards. Usually increased anxiety at night a day later or so. And up to 4 days later horrible d.

4-6 hours for me usually. I have had anxiety reactions as long as 24 hours later.

My neuro symptoms kick in fast, about 15 - 20 min. after I am glutened. Migraine, GI symptoms, fatigue, and anxiety usually come in 1-3 days.

I don't know until the following morning when the D hits.
