Gluten Ingestion And Vomiting

I think my daughter had cereal with gluten on Monday. The next day she was extremely irritable,behaving weird, had headaches etc. Today (Friday) she out of the blue vomited (on a sidewalk by a store!). I am wondering if this would be a result of the gluten? I don't think she has had any gluten since being diagnosed and going gluten-free so I am not sure what her normal reaction would be. Is 4 days too long after the ingestion to get sick like that? SHe threw up twice on the sidewalk and has been fine since. Thanks for your help :)

It's possible, but I would think that if she was going to throw up from the gluten, she would have done it sooner than 5 days after the fact. Reactions can be delayed, but in this particular case I'm more inclined to think she may have had some kind of virus. I know your daughter is young and little kids have funny ways of reacting to being sick. I would guess that she's had something going on since she started with the headache and everything.

Do you have any other reason to believe she had glutenous cereal besides the fact that she wasn't feeling well? As I said, some people have longer time-frame reactions but I would have expected the vomiting to come sooner.

She ate marshmallow pebbles which we thought was gluten-free but realized after this box did not say gluten-free anywhere. We got the wrong one I guess and I assume that this one isn't gluten free.

The last time I got glutened and knew it, nothing at all happened for 24 hours...I thought I was darn lucky. The second day I felt tired and sluggish but nothing terrible. The third day I got a horrible migraine...the fourth day I actually threw up, had deression, anxiety, and D. I was shocked at how bad I felt. The fifth day I had D but no headache and two days later was able to feel normal again. Wow! The longer I am gluten free the worse the reaction I get when I get glutened. It is very possible it takes that many days to react to gluten. I wouldn't have believed it if it didn't happen to me. I know she is a child, but I have to think it is definitely possible for that reaction to be that delayed. Others have written of such delayed reactions too. I probably would have thought I had the flu if it had not been for the fact that I clearly knew I made a mistake and ate one bite of a product with wheat as an ingredient...my god...now I read twice and have my son check the ingredients too before I eat anything. Good luck to you. Trace gluten is awful.

      Potential celiac need advice

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Yes.  Now, if you hit your finger with a hammer once, wouldn't you do your best not to do it again?  You have identified a direct connection between gluten and pain.  Gluten is your hammer.  Now you have to decide if you need a medical diagnosis.  Some countries have aid benefits tgat you can get if you have the diagnosis, but you must continue eating a gluten-normal diet while pursuing the diagnosis. Otherwise the only reason to continue eating gluten is social. There are over 200 symptoms that could be a result of celiac disease.. Celiac Disease and Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity  both cause multiple vitamin and mineral deficiency.  Dealing with that should help your recovery, even while eating gluten.  Phosphatidyl Choline supplements can help your gut if digesting fats is a problem,  Consider that any medications you take could be causing some of the symptoms, aside from gluten.

      Welcome to the forum, @Ben98! If you have been consciously or unconsciously avoiding gluten because of the discomfort it produces then it is likely that your blood antibody testing for celiac disease has been rendered invalid. Valid testing requires regular consumption of generous amounts of gluten. The other strong possibility is that you have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease but does not have the autoimmune component and thus does not damage the small bowel lining. It is 10x mor common than celiac disease. There is currently no test for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. Some experts in the field believe it can be a precursor to the development of celiac disease. Having one or both of the primary genes for developing celiac disease does not imply that you will develop active celiac disease. It simply establishes the potential for it. About 40% of the population has the genetic potential but only about 1% develop active celiac disease.

      TTG blood test and total IGA tested on many occasions which have always remained normal, upper GI pain under my ribs since 2022. I had an endoscopy in 2023 which showed moderate gastritis. no biopsy’s were taken unfortunately. genetic test was positive for HLADQ2. extreme bloating after eating gluten, it’ll feel like I’ve got bricks in my stomach so uncomfortably full. the pain is like a dull ache under the upper left almost like a stitch feeling after a long walk. I am just wanting some advice has anyone here experienced gastritis with a gluten issue before? thank you

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      "Conclusions: The urinary iodine level was significantly lower in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis, and iodine replacement may be important in preventing osteoporosis"  Body iodine status in women with postmenopausal osteoporosis Low iodine can cause thyroid problems, but Iodine deficiency will not show up in thyroid tests.  Iodine is important for healing, its job is to kill off defective and aging cells (Apoptosis). Skin, brain fog, nails, muscle tone all inproved when I started taking 600 mcg (RDA 150 - 1000 mcg) of Liquid Iodine drops. Some with dermatitis herpetiformis, Iodine exacerbates the rash.  I started at 1 drop (50 mcg) and worked up to 12 drops, but I don't have dermatitis herpetiformis.
