5Year Old-Gluten Free For 2 Years-Had Gluten At Preschool Today-Help!

My son has been gluten free for 2 years-based on symptoms and also on enterolab results. However-at preschool he had a ritz cracker and a a small amount of cereal today(fri)-he was sick with a virus on tues and weds. How soon after ingesting the gluten would I see symptoms if any were to appear? It's been 3 hours so far. And what sort of symptoms might I see? I pumped him with vit c, elderberry and extra pro-biotics right when we got home-also because he was sick mid-week. What else can I do? I am freaking out! I know it's not "life threatening" but I also worry-it's a good lesson in reminding people he is gluten free and asking if food that I do not send is gluten free. Teacher feels awful as she is so so good about it but had an oops day. HELP

Ugh! It depends. You could see initial reactions within a few hours, but may see reactions develop over the next day or so. My son was given gluten (lots of it) at a daycamp over Christmas break and I noticed extreme irritability immediately upon picking him up. Within about a day he developed a tic (which laster the better part of 6 weeks). He never said much about his stomach hurting though.

My DD has some reactions almost immediately and then they continue for 24-48 hours. If it was a lot of exposure she also will develop a rash on her backside and legs usually the following day that lasts for several days.

We use activated charcoal ASAP when our daughter gets gluten accidentally. Is this common?

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.

      I've used magnesium taurinate and magnesium taurate vitamins.  Didn't notice much of a difference when I used them.
