Symptoms Of "getting Glutened" Two Days Later

Once you have gone gluten free and accidentally eat gluten (which I may or may not have in the home fries at the restaurant on Sunday), could a migraine/headache come on about 36-48 hours later? Sort of like a delayed inflammatory response. Also my skin (back-ne) seemed to get worse. Today, about three days later I have a very scratchy throat and for the last couple days have been having almost like hot flashes of sorts. Does any of this sound like being glutened?

And is all of this a moot point if I am only 2.5 weeks in? I am also pretty much 99% sure that there was no gluten in anything else I've eaten this week. I am pretty crazy about it, I just let down my guard at the restaurant because I am still not that comfortable with eating out and it was a party. I am not eating dairy either.

And last caveat, of course, I am not sure yet that gluten is the root of my problems. It just seems to fit from what I read and my eczema cleared.

Thanks :)

Yes, I have delayed response all the time. That's why it was so hard to pin down gluten in the first place--sometimes, I get a reaction right away, sometimes hours and hours later. Yeah, stay away from those fries!! And good luck!

Eating out is tough, but I'm not sure you're cleaned out enough yet to really start having a distinct reaction. I would think that at two weeks your body hasn't even started to realize it's not being constantly provoked. It took me maybe four months to start having a reaction -- or at least one that would be felt above the general stomach symptoms which were still constant at that time. It was very hard to pin down at that point because it seemed to take hours or even a day or two to occur. Over the last few months, it seems like the reaction has become much worse, and comes on now within two to three hours.

I normally will have a reaction about 24 hours later but this last time I got it almost 48 hours later, not sure what causes it. I had to really think what I had eaten and I knew it could not be anything in the 24 hours previous so went to the previous day and I had questioned a dish, sure enough. It was weird though.....I probably was more dizzy than normal, almost felt ill to my stomach, it felt like I could break out in a sweat but didn't. But then it passed sooner than it would usually.

      Edy's and Dreyer's ice cream

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      Sigh. I posted this yesterday based on the Safeway website. I went back again today to their website to double check. On the page where they are selling Vanilla Bean flavor, it has a distinct Certified Gluten Free label. Other flavors on the Safeway website didn't have the gluten-free statement. Today I went into the store. None of the flavors I looked at, including Vanilla Bean, have a Gluten Free statement. Is it safe? Who knows. The ingredients are either safe or nearly safe (some have "natural flavor"). There are warnings about "contains milk and soy" but not about wheat - this implies they are safe, but again, who knows. On the other hand, every flavor I checked of their Slow Churn line of ice creams has wheat as an ingredient. 100% not safe.

      Do keep in mind that many of the newly diagnosed have lactose intolerance.  This is because the villi lining the intestinal tract are damaged, and can no longer make the enzyme lactAse which breaks down the milk sugar lactOse.  When the villi grow back (six months to two years), they can again produce the enzyme lactAse, and lactose intolerance is resolved.  However, some people (both those with and without Celiac Disease) are genetically programmed to stop producing lactase as they age.   Do be aware that many processed foods, including ice cream, use Microbial Transglutaminase, a food additive commonly called "meat glue," used to enhance texture and flavor.  This microbial transglutaminase has the same immunogenicity as tissue transglutaminase which the body produces in response to gluten in people with Celiac Disease.  Tissue Transglutaminase (tTg IgA) is measured to diagnose Celiac Disease in blood tests.  Microbial Transglutaminase acts the same as Tissue Transglutaminase, causing increased intestinal permeability and inflammation.   New findings show that microbial transglutaminase may be able to trigger Celiac Disease and other autoimmune and neurodegenerative diseases.   Microbial Transglutaminase is not required to be listed on ingredients labels as it's considered a processing aid, not an ingredient in the U.S.  Microbial Transglutaminase has been GRAS for many years, but that GRAS standing is being questioned more and more as the immunogenicity of microbial transglutaminase is being discovered. Interesting Reading:  Microbial Transglutaminase Is a Very Frequently Used Food Additive and Is a Potential Inducer of Autoimmune/Neurodegenerative Diseases https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8537092/

      There is a 10 year old post in this forum on Edy's and Dreyer's ice cream. The information is somewhat outdated and the thread is closed to further comment, so here is a new one. Edy's And Dreyer's Grand Vanilla Bean Ice Cream - 1.5 Quart is labeled "Gluten Free". This is a different answer than years gone by. I don't know the answer for any other flavor at this moment. On 1 May, 2026, Edy's website says: "As a general rule, the gluten in Edy's and Dreyer's® frozen dessert products is present only in the added bakery products, such as cookies, cake or brownies. We always label the eight major food allergens on our package by their common name. We recommend to always check the label for the most current information before purchasing and/or consuming a product. The exception to this rule is our Slow Churned French Silk frozen dairy dessert, which contains gluten in the natural flavors." https://www.icecream.com/us/en/brands/edys-and-dreyers/faq It seems that Edy's and Dreyer's are more celiac-friendly than they were 10 years ago. Once I found enough information to make today's buying decision, I stopped researching.

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      My dad had an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm.  Fortunately, it was discovered during an exam.  The doctor could feel my dad's heart beating in his stomach/abdomen.  The aneurysm burst when the doctor first touched it in surgery.  Since he was already hooked up to the bypass machine, my dad survived ten more years.  Close call! Triple A's can press on the nerves in the spinal cord causing leg pain.  I'm wondering if bowing the head might have increased the pressure on an aneurysm and then the nerves.   https://gulfcoastsurgeons.com/understanding-abdominal-aortic-aneurysm-symptoms-and-causes/ Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Presenting as a Claudication https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4040638/
