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 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?

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By trents · Posted

      My migraines generally have their onset during the early morning hours as well. Presently, I am under siege with them, having headaches all but two days so far this month. I have looked at all the things reported to be common triggers (foods, sleep patterns, weather patterns, stress, etc.). Every time I think I start to see a pattern it proves not to pan out in the long run. I'm not sure it's any one thing but may, instead, be a combination of things that coalesce at certain times. It's very frustrating. The medication (sumatriptan or "Imatrix") is effective and is the only thing that will quell the pain. NSAIDs, Tylenol, even hydrocodone doesn't touch it. But they only give you 9 does of sumatriptan a month. And it doesn't help that medical science doesn't really know what causes migraines. They know some things about it but the root cause is still a mystery.

      GI DX celiac despite neg serology and no biopsy

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Just a gluten free diet is not enough.  Now you have to identify and replenish your malnutrition.  Celiac disease is co-morbid with malabsorption syndrome.  Low vitamin D, Low Thiamine caused Gastointeston Beriberi, low choline, low iodine are common the general population, and in newly diagnosed Celiacs in the western culture its is more likely.  It takes time to heal and you need to focus on vitamins and minerals.  Gluten free foods are not fortified like regular processed foods.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      By Sarah Grace · Posted

      Dear Kitty Since March I have been following your recommendations regarding vitamins to assist with various issues that I have been experiencing.  To recap, I am aged 68 and was late diagnosed with Celiac about 12 years ago.  I had been experiencing terrible early morning headaches which I had self diagnosed as hypoglycaemia.  I also mentioned that I had issues with insomnia, vertigo and brain fog.   It's now one year since I started on the Benfotiamine 600 mg/day.  I am still experiencing the hypoglycaemia and it's not really possible to say for sure whether the Benfotiamine is helpful.  In March this year, I added B-Complex Thiamine Hydrochloride and Magnesium L-Threonate on a daily basis, and I am now confident to report that the insomnia and vertigo and brain fog have all improved!!  So, very many thanks for your very helpful advice. I am now less confident that the early morning headaches are caused by hypoglycaemia, as even foods with a zero a GI rating (cheese, nuts, etc) can cause really server headaches, which sometimes require migraine medication in order to get rid off.  If you are able to suggest any other treatment I would definitely give it a try, as these headaches are a terrible burden.  Doctors in the UK have very limited knowledge concerning dietary issues, and I do not know how to get reliable advice from them. Best regards,

      @rei.b,  I understand how frustrating starting a new way of eating can be.  I tried all sorts of gluten-free processed foods and just kept feeling worse.  My health didn't improve until I started the low histamine AIP diet.  It makes a big difference.   Gluten fits into opioid receptors in our bodies.  So, removing gluten can cause withdrawal symptoms and reveals the underlying discomfort.  SIBO can cause digestive symptoms.  SIBO can prevent vitamins from being absorbed by the intestines.  Thiamine insufficiency causes Gastrointestinal Beriberi (bloating, abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea or constipation).  Thiamine is the B vitamin that runs out first because it can only be stored for two weeks.  We need more thiamine when we're sick or under emotional stress.  Gastric Beriberi is under recognised by doctors.  An Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test is more accurate than a blood test for thiamine deficiency, but the best way to see if you're low in thiamine is to take it and look for health improvement.  Don't take Thiamine Mononitrate because the body can't utilize it well.  Try Benfotiamine.  Thiamine is water soluble, nontoxic and safe even at high doses.  I thought it was crazy, too, but simple vitamins and minerals are important.  The eight B vitamins work together, so a B Complex, Benfotiamine,  magnesium and Vitamin D really helped get my body to start healing, along with the AIP diet.  Once you heal, you add foods back in, so the AIP diet is worth doing for a few months. I do hope you'll consider the AIP diet and Benfotiamine.
