I know this is an old question but I'm new to  Celiac fun.

After reading some of the older replies I am questioning if I accidently ate gluten in some Eckrich Smoked sausage a couple of days ago and the gut reaction just hit me. 

I also had a bad headache the next afternoon after eating it in my red beans and rice dinner made at home the night before.  

I also ate out this afternoon so not sure if there was some cross contamination even if what I had was gluten free. 

I was only diagnosed the end of November and until now haven't had any more gut problems.  I have been really careful about what I eat.  Reading ingredient lists on everything and even staying away from things I can't guarantee are gluten free.

Hard to say.  Everyone has a different glutening experience.

for me it's 24-48 hours (starts with That Headache) then it lasts for 14 days.  you are new, you might want to try keeping a food journal to figure out if anything else is irritating your guts.  it's a good idea to skip dairy products for awhile until you heal some.  the ends of your (possibly damaged villi) is where the enzyme is produced that breaks down dairy, so that could cause you malaise.  (i think i cut it out for 6 months or so) for eating out (i didn't for about 5 years lolz and even now, it's only at a few trusted places) you might want to try the 'find me gluten free' app and only eat at places with good reviews FROM CELIACS.  when shopping, my brother uses an app called 'gluten free food finder' that will scan the barcode and tell if it's gluten-free  <he cheats lolz  otherwise, read every label.  welcome to the forum :)

Is it always instantly??

 

I made a stupid mistake last night and ate some tastee sandwiches, well just the meat, no bread. My grandma thought they were fine, well after this morning I am thinking they were not. I looked up the recipe and there was liption onion soup mix, which pretty positive that is not okay if that is the recipe they used. Guess I can't assume anything, lesson learned.

 

I've been going to the bathroom a lot, stomach cramps, and joint pain....probably gluten, huh?? I didn't know if it had soy sauce (allergic to soy), but I don't think so.

 

I was just curious, I am usually VERY careful.....how long does it last for you??

My symptoms will peak at around 4-5 days, and last for about 2 weeks or so. It can be really tough sometimes when you feel the symptoms coming on and realize what has happened. It's definitely a learning experience to know how careful you need to be. It gets easier with time!

It usually takes me 5-8 hours after eating and the GI symptoms last into the next day. I haven’t really tracked the joint pain symptoms but usually I have a headache after as well. I was diagnosed in late March, I’ve been glutened about 5 times since and its very obvious when I have by my GI symptoms. Mostly stabbing pains in my left upper quadrant, the urge to use the restroom that keeps me up all night, and a general feeling of being unwell.

15 min to 30min sometimes an hour. depends how slight it was. first symptom i feel withdrawn not happy and panic. next feel migraine coming on in eyes. next the stomach pain and tired fatigue.  then i take gluten enzyme asap. it takes the symptoms from a 10 to a 3-4. i don't get a headach but its not a cure.

Does anyone get massive adominal swelling when you accidentally eat something with gluten?  I just get this huge stomach and pain.

This is a very common symptom. A bloated abdomen is very common. This article might be helpful:

I have wheat sensitivity and have for 15+ years.  I am very careful of wheat content.  I invariably have an "episode" (cramps and sudden diarrhea) within a half hour of leaving a restaurant and it continue through the night.  I have come to dread going out for dinner.  I wonder if my extreme stress contributes?

same!  some places I eat at all the time, I don't feel anxious about.  if I feel any sort of doubt I can get a safe meal when i'm out at a strange place, I will eat at home first.  recently on a trip to jersey, everybody wanted to eat at a place I wasn't familiar with and it wasn't on the find me gluten free app.  so, I ate ahead of time.  went to the place, got a menu, ooh so much breaded and fried stuff, just so much gluten....  nah - gave the menu back to the server, saying, "I surrender" lolz got me a beverage and that's how that goes.  so, no stress and I wasn't starving.  maybe this will work for you?  in the beginning, when I thought I could "easy peasy order off the gluten free menu no problem"  yes, indeed, I was stressing enough to make myself sick whether they cc'd me or not.  now, with the fmgf app, I have some info - enough to make an educated decision and most reviewers on there suggest where you might need to pay attention, like:  kitchen is educated, servers are not (so, you would know that the servers need to check with the kitchen as to which meals are safe)  hope this helps!

I am wheat sensitive and I will know it in about 3 hours and it last for about 2 hours.  I can usually figure it out what the food was if I ate something in the restaurant since I don't eat a lot anyhow.  And I avoid that food when I go out to eat again.  It's more difficult when I try eating a new gluten free frozen dinner or desserts at home.  Recently after several episodes and a lot of research, I found out that I also cannot eat anything with sorghum flour as the first ingredient. I get the same stomach and intestinal symptoms as wheat.

      Hi all, I was recently diagnose with menier's after a long year of vertigo, ear pressure, tinnitus and anemia. I went to several specialist in The USA and also in Mex. got all the hearing test and MRI but they cant find much. I started a low sodium diet no caffeine no alcohol, and gluten free. I feel no changes in my symptoms. I have tried 6 months o betahistine and diuretics didn't work. Now I'm completely gluten free and  i have some days better than others but nothing seems to work. I don't feel me.  What else can I do? There is something else I could check like vitamins I'm currently taking Ginkgo Biloba as a supplement. how can I find out why Menier's?

      Hi I just recently had being diagnose with Meniers after a long year of vertigo, brain fog, ear pressure, tinnitus and anemia. I went to several doctors in USA and Mexico. Did all the test for my ear/ brain, MRI and nothing comes up. The last doctor gave me a combo with betahistine a diuretic and an anticonvulsive. I almost past out.  Nothing seems to calm my symptoms. I started a gluten free diet and I have some days better than others but I'm completely lost. I don't know where to go next.  What should I do next?

      It's not allergies.   Segments of the protein in corn, yeast, and dairy resemble segments if the protein gluten.  Our antibodies get triggered on the segments no matter where they are from.  Then the antibodies get really confused and attack our own cells which have segments resembling the  protein gluten in the cell membrane.  Hence, Celiac is an autoimmune disease. Did you have a test for Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH)?   Symptoms of hypothyroidism can be very subtle in the early stages.  
    • thejayland10
      All of my other labs are normal though, CBC, metabolic, dexa scan, vitamin levels, ema, giladin peptide igg iga, etc.  Could other allergies like corn or yeast raise this? Should I have allergy testing done for other things? 
    • knitty kitty
      @thejayland10, The fact that your tTg IgA is slightly elevated after ten years gluten free suggests there's something going on.  We want all the antibodies to go away.  As long as they are around, our body is in a state of inflammation that can have long term deleterious effects outside of the gastrointestinal tract. Have you had your thyroid checked recently?   Hashimoto's thyroiditis can raise tTg IgA antibodies without gluten. Maybe you're getting gluten in your diet or from shampoo/toiletries.  Maybe you've developed an intolerance to other foods, like dairy, oats, corn, or yeast.  One my vitamins used brewer's yeast for a B12 source which, of course, made me ill.  One really has to be a...
