How Long After Gluten Before Reaction?

My oldest ds just went gluten-free for 10 weeks and started back on gluten yesterday. He was fine yesterday, but having diarrhea today (about 24 hours after gluten exposure). Does this sound like a gluten reaction? I was expecting a quicker reaction if gluten was the problem, but I don't really know how quickly someone with celiac might react to gluten either.

It's taken me as long as three days to have my anxiety reaction to gluten, and it usually takes at least six hours for my GI effects to appear. 24 hours is well within the realm of normal.

Used to take me about a day. Now it seems to be ~3 hours.

A reaction to gluten depends on the individual. I notice a reaction as soon as a couple of minutes of being exposed but can still feel the effects of the glutening a couple of days later. I'm newly gluten free though, so I've got no idea if I'm continually glutening myself without realizing, I'm still learning about it all.

Your son's reaction seems fairly typical from what I've read. My doctors are still finding out whether I have an allergy to wheat as well as an intolerance, so my instant reaction could be more allergy related.

Thank you for your responses. My biggest worry was not having a clear gluten-related reaction and still feeling like we don't know for sure. We have a pretty clear reaction. Ds has had diarrhea all afternoon, barely making it to the bathroom at times. He's never had anything remotely like this before, so I'm pretty sure it's the gluten.

Not to be harsh...but WHY would anyone with Celiacs PURPOSELY POISON THEMSELVES or why would you allow it!(if hes a minor...you weren't clear on that)

ITS POISON!!! :blink::blink::blink::angry::huh:

Take it from me and all those of us who were unkowingly poisoned from an early age and now have Really BAD nerological side affects...we'd have given ANYTHING to have been diagnosed EARLY..BEFORE the LONG TERM DAMAGE THAT DOES"NT SHOW UP TILL YOUR OLDER...BELEIVE ME!!!!

WTF...YOUR HIS MOM!!! sorry to be harsh...but THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT....MAYBE EVEN LIFE CHANGING!!!

If Someone had even THOUGHT to test me for food alergies...let alone GLUTEN...MY life definatly would be different!!! It may olnly be diarrea now...but later if not checked...who knows..are you willing to take that chance...hes your BABY!!! :blink::D

One of the members lost her brother at the age of 15 to celiacs...and a parent too I think...but you get my point! :huh:

Calm down! Sounds like they didn't have the positve tests to prove he has celiac so they were testing it via dietary response. Lots of people here have to do that when they are trying to figure things out. I'm sure they plan to keep him gluten-free for good now that he has a clear reaction. No need to accuse people of poisioning their kids. ETA: This is the PRE-diagnosis forum. And based on her siggy her son is 5 with negative tests. Dietary response and positive genes is all some people have to get a diagnosis.

Staceyshoe: It does sound like a very clear reaction. My reactions take anywhere from 24 to 48 hours to manifest themselves so his delayed reaction is normal as others said.

It's okay girl! I'm with you on gluten being poison, but sometimes you need to learn all the details before you pounce on someone. This a friendly board--we try to give people the benefit of the doubt. Some people do come here and admit they can't stop eating gluten (or can't stop their kids from sneakign it) even though it makes them sick. Those people need help. Scolding them isn't going to help them. Giving them the facts about what it's doing to them might help. Giving them ways to deal (like suggesting gluten-free alternatives) can help too.

I'm still sad and very depressed though!!! :(:(:(

I took mine to a bakery for a few minutes yesterday which was enough obviously to make her sick :(

We went in and I bought one of the loaves that they have out already in the bag then paid then left.

This afternoon my poor baby has been really sick :'( all because I told my mum I'd pick up bread for her on the way home!

But yeah it took about 20 hours before the complaint started but I know she'll be really vague for the next few days and irritable too.

No it wasn't on purpose! I won't have it in the house normally but it was for my mum who threw it at me after a 10 hour shift to pick it up on the way home otherwise we haven't been into a bakery all year.

I know this was from 5 years ago but my reaction is the same I get bloated and tummy troubles with in a few hours but crazy anxiety about 48 hours later. Skylark how long before your anxiety stops this last time it took almost 5 days before I started to feel like myself. Is there a way to get the gluten out of our system faster so we don't suffer for days?

      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.

      Edy's and Dreyer's ice cream

      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

      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/
