Hi, New With Symptom Q

Hi everyone :D

I'm Misa, 32 years old and live in Scandinavia. I've been doing a gluten-free diet for over a month now after self-diagnosing and I'm now convinced I'm on the right track. Chronic diarrhea, dizziness, digestive pains and cramps, candida, nausea and extremely low energy have already improved tremendously. My panick attacks have gone and general anxiety almost non-excistent (using L-glutamine and N-acetyl glucosamine for gut healing - a big help).

I've been reading up on your posts for the last month and a BIG thank you to everyone.....so many questions have been answered here in addition to my own research.

I have a question to something weird that happened yesterday and today. I accidentaly got glutened for the first time due to taking some herbs that contained "grain alcohol" and my anxiety returned with a vengance within half an hour (woke up this morning with diarrhea and cramps too). Could a gluten intolerance symptom surface so quickly after ingestion (1/2 hour)??? Or is this simply coincidence? Has anyone else experienced symptoms so quickly?

Again, thank you everyone so far, Misa :)

Hi Misa :)

Reactions can *absolutely* surface in as little as 1/2 an hour!! I react within 10 minutes of having ingested gluten. Usually, my first reaction is emotional. I know as soon as I start crying that something is up! If I've gotten a lot of gluten, I have a pretty severe GI reaction within 30 minutes.

Welcome to the forum :) One more nice person is always a bonus ;)

Everyone has a slightly different reaction, and it takes a different amount of time for everyone. But it is possible to have a reaction within an hour or less of consuming gluten.

God bless,

Yep, reaction times vary. I feel it right away and have a reaction that lasts about 2 weeks.

my reactions are almost instantaneous to eating something with gluten. If I am accidentally glutenened I can usually tell immediately. Anxiety attacks usually are the first sign, then cramping and the big D... like Kaiti said, symptoms for about 2 weeks after as well.

Wow, so many answers, THANX :D It's 04.22 o'clock at night over here and I woke up with a sweat and runny, itchy eyes. Two other gluten related symptoms gone on the gluten-free diet and thought I'd check the board. Thank you Michelle, Mariann, Kaiti and Nini.......

I just assumed that it was the colon area which was sensitive to gluten, but getting reactions so fast means the glutenened "rollercoaster ride" actually can start in the stomach area ;)

As soon as I started visiting this board, I went super-strict gluten-free (followed everybody's guidelines) and thought I'd just grab this opportunity to say you guys have probably helped ALOT of people out there. Hey, even as far as Norway in Scandinavia = ME :P

C ya, Misa :)

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.
