How Long For A Gluten Reaction

My 2 year old son has been gluten free since Jan. He had a biopsy that did not give us a diag of celiac disease but that was considered border line. His Paed GI suggested going gluten free as we had exhuasted all other avenunes of testing etc.

He went gluten free but also started nexium at the same time - his improvement was immediate. He vomitted every day of his life until then. Anyhow - the other day he got a big glutening. We were at a birthday party. I have 4 kids and I took my eyes of him for 2 seconds and the next thing I know he is guzzling down the birthday cake!

Every thing seamt fine but then the next day he spewed twice. Not massive just two fairly smalish ones.

Can it take that long for a reaction to gluten?

Thanks in advance!

I react in 25 minutes and could practically set a clock by that. It is very consistent.

Gluten reactions can be delayed by up to a week. Some folks notice symptoms right away but others have a delay. I am of the 3 days till symptoms hit group. So yes gluten injested one day may hit the person the next. Hope your little one feels better soon.

Okay - thanks so much!

I'm still not sure its celiac...and if it is I suspect there is something else going on as well. He is very lactose intolerant and has been since he was born and I thought if he went gluten-free the lactose intolerance would resolve - but it hasn't and now that he is gluten and lactose free he still has foul stettorhea and complete undigested meals in his stool - oily and mucousy as well, vitamin and mineral deficiencies the whole bit. So frustrating. But as I said he used to throw up every single day and now hardly ever. So something seems to be working wether its the gluten-free diet or the nexium....hmmm

The reason I asked is because my symptoms happen within 30 minutes :)

He may very well have other intolerances. Most common is casein. It also takes a while to heal from gluten.

Don't split hairs over the diagnosis. If he's better without gluten he's better - don't argue with success.

I'd try taking him off milk next since it's the most common.

Okay - so casein is in lactose free milk as well? Should I try him on soy maybe or rice milk or something?

Do try a rice milk but NOT Rice Dream. Wegmans has a good rice milk if you have one near you. There are also almond milks and hemp milk (which is a good source of protein) I would hold off on soy milk for now.

Why not Rice Dream? That's exactly what I bought myself last week... :o

Because it is processed with barley. The list of folks that have reacted to it is a long one.

      Celiac and allergic to common subs and adds in prepared foods

      By DAR girl · Posted

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      Disregarded

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      Paying for my own Celiac screening at WalkInLab so a positive result doesn’t become part of my medical history

      By Oldturdle · Posted

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      Does Dailymed.nlm.nih.gov site have filters for gluten?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
