How Long After Ingesting Gluten Do You See Symptoms In Your Kid?

My 9 month old spits up sometimes. SOme days more than others. I was wondering if its even possible for gluten to cause her to spit up within an hour of eating it? WOuld it take longer?

How long did it take to see symptoms in your child after he/she ate gluten containing foods?

My 3 year old has gone gluten free and I want to give her gluten at some point to see if she reacts but am not sure when symptoms would appear. Minutes, hours, days, later?

What's has your experience been? Thank you!

My daughter vomitted while still sitting at the table eating her dinner (of something gluten) on several occasions, which is what lead to the testing in the first place. she was still eating gluten regularly at that point but she wasn't vomiting every time she ate it.

I don't know....one of mine spit up, no matter what he ate, for about 18 months. He has tested negative so far ( he's 20 years old).

Our son may be different b/c he has a gluten intolerance vs celiac, but we typically don't see any changes till 2 days after eating gluten.

My son will usually have a really bad poop with in a couple of hours or up to 12-18 hours later. Just depends. He took 1 little bite of pizza at a playdate the other day at 4pm; the next morning he work up fussy, out of it, and had his nasty chemical smelling poop, it's taken about 4+ days to get over. He spit up all the time as a baby, and so does my 8 month old. Not sure if it's connected to Celiac.

My 18 month old has vomited within minutes of ingesting a gluten pretzel, by accident. If it's a "hidden gluten" like a spice that contains gluten and so it's not a huge amount, he'll have a white, runny, burning poop about an hour or two later. In both circumstances, he'll be sick for 1-2 days.

My 8 year old daughter has stomach pains right once she starts to eat and will have to get up to use the bathroom 2-3 times during a meal. Most of the time diareeha.

      The anti-endomysial antibody test is an old test that is generally reported as positive or negative - a lab technician looks down a microscope to check for fluorescence of the sample. It is less sensitive but more specific for coeliac disease than IgA tTG2. Hence, it is not "barely positive" - it is positive. People diagnosed in childhood recover much more quickly than adults.  I would look at testing all 1st degree relatives - parents, siblings.

      What about digestive enzymes that I hear help? I take align 5x probiotics daily.

      thank you RMJ! That is very helpful advice. Good to know we aren’t crazy if we don’t do the endoscopy. We are going to try the gluten free and see how symptoms and levels improve.    thank you Wheatwacked (love the username lol) that is also reassuring. Thankfully she has an amazing and experienced pediatrician. And yesss I forgot to mention the poop! She has the weirdest poop issues.    How long did it take y'all to start seeing improvement in symptoms?

      My son was diagnosed when he was weaned in 1976 after several endoscopies.  Given your two year old's symptoms and your family history and your pediatrition advocating for the dx, I would agree.  Whether an endoscopy is positive or negative is irrelevant.   That may happen even with endoscopy.  Pick your doctors with that in mind. In the end you save the potential trauma of the endoscopy for your baby.   Mine also had really nasty poop.  His doctor started him on Nutramigen Infant because at the time it was the only product that was hypo allergenic and had complete nutrition. The improvement was immediate.

      So her tissue transglutaminase antibody is almost 4x the upper end of the normal range - likely a real result. The other things you can do besides an endoscopy would be: 1.  Genetic testing.  Unfortunately a large proportion of the population has genes permissive for celiac disease, but only a small proportion of those with the genes have it. With family history it is likely she has the genes. 2.  Try a gluten free diet and see if the symptoms go away AND the antibody levels return to normal. (This is what I would do). Endoscopies aren’t always accurate in patients as young as your daughter. Unfortunately, without an endoscopy, some doctor later in her life may question whether she really has celiac disease or not, and you’ll need to be a fierce mama bear to defend the diagnosis! Be sure you have a good written record of her current pediatrician’s diagnosis. Doing a gluten challenge for an endoscopy later in life could cause a very uncomfortable level of symptoms.   Having yourself, your husband and your son tested would be a great idea.
