Delayed Reaction: Only Me?

Hi all,

I am new to the forum and have been mostly lurking and trying to learn from others. I am still undiagnosed but go back to the doctor for final set of blood results tomorrow. I have had two weird incidents and I wonder if others react like this.

In early Jan. I went gluten free for a week. I know I wasn't supposed to before blood tests but I was curious! I felt better but knew the blood test was coming up in a week so I went back to gluten. Four days after eating gluten again (nothing extreme, just my "ordinary" diet) I spent a day vomiting. It was the first time since my stomach issues began back in Oct. that I actually threw up.

After those blood tests were done I went back to eating gluten free. After about 3 weeks off gluten I talked to the doctor about eating gluten again to see what would happen. I ate a gluten lunch and dinner and did so knowing the following day I had off because I was fully prepared to be sick! I wasn't. I had a headache and some pain under my left rib (sometimes happens). Other than that I was fine. I went back to gluten free. Then 3 days after my gluten meals, after I was again eating gluten free, I was hit with a day of vomiting again. I never felt nauseous, I just had to throw up all the time. It was horrible.

To me, this seems obviously related to gluten. What I wonder is why it took so long (3 days) before I really got sick. If this is the case, it will be hard for me to ever know if I was accidentally ate gluten. Has anyone else ever had a reaction like this?

Thanks.

One of my reactions is within minutes, while some others do take days to manifest. So yes, it does happen, and there have been posts by others here about this sort of thing. It's not all that rare, really.

I have almost the same issue, my symptoms dont usually happen right away - almost 18 hours later my stomach will cramp/turn and ill feel horrrrible for a day or so (after eating a large amount of gluten like pasta). I was gluten free for over a week and I felt amazing, no headaches, no stomach issues, normal digestion, no heartburn, the list goes on and on but I almost never have immediate issues except with Dairy that stuff kills me instantly but has no lasting effects.

i have noticed since i quit eating gluten that if i do eat it, a large amount of it, i'm fine for about 24 hours, then the burning, churning pain starts up. the second time i ate gluten, the next day i was vomiting and thought i was going to pass out in the mall! it was as bad or worse than it ever was! and then i had a horrible headache for the next 2 days...

      Knowing what to do when feeling unwell.

      By Me,Sue · Posted

      I was diagnosed with coeliac disease a couple of years ago [ish]. I love my food and a variety of food, so it's been hard, as it is with everyone. I try and ensure everything I eat doesn't contain gluten, but occasionally I think something must have got through that has gluten in. Mainly I know because I have to dash to the loo, but recently I have noticed that I feel nauseous after possibly being glutened. I think the thing that I have got better at is knowing what to do when I feel wiped out after a gluten 'episode'. I drink loads of water, and have just started drinking peppermint tea. I also have rehydration powders to drink. I don't feel like eating much, but eventually feel like I need to eat. Gluten free flapjacks, or gluten free cereal, or a small gluten free kids meal are my go to. I am retired, so luckily I can rest, sometimes even going to bed when nothing else works. So I feel that I am getting better at knowing how to try and get back on track. I am also trying to stick to a simpler menu and eat mostly at home so that I can be more confident about what I am eating. THANKS TO THOSE WHO REPLIED ABOUT THE NAUSEA .

      The Happy Tart review

      Thanks. Since the back and forth and promises of review and general stalling went on for more than six months, the credit company will no longer investigate. They have a cutoff of maybe six months.

      The Happy Tart review

      Is this the same restaurant? https://www.facebook.com/TheHappyTartFallsChurch/ Is it too late to take this up with your credit card company? Normally you have a few months to do a chargeback with them. It seems very odd that they are taking this approach with someone who is likely to be a regular customer--not a good business-minded way of handling things!

      Stomach burning and neuropathy

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful: The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.

      Nausea

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Welcome to the forum. Is the nausea associated with eating certain foods, or anything else in particular?  Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal.
