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.

      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/
