Gluten Reaction

It is wonderful to see some many new menbers here, welcome.

I would like to find out what everyones reation time is to being glutened. I am still, by far, not healed, but feeling much better. Although I have had a few ACCIDENTS ( and I really mean accidents) :unsure:

I seem to have a 24 hour distance, between glutened and reaction time. I know that everyone is different in sensitivity, but and curious as to others.

I am really not sure yet as the main thing that led me towards figuring out what was going on was anemia. I've not had the more typical symptoms, save for diarrhea at times, but not even 100% sure that was from the Celiac.

That said, the other day I had bloating, "rumbling" and gas about 30-45 minutes after lunch. Turns out that although I thought the salad dressing I used was safe it was not. So I am guessing that now that I have been gluten-free for a while I am going to see some reaction (which, I don't think is all bad) and that the reaction for me will be pretty quick. At least that time.

Well, it seems that my reaction time is getting longer the longer I am off gluten. When I was so ill last summer everything I ate went right through me after about half an hour. Two weeks after going off gluten it was about half an hour before I got pains everywhere, and about an hour before the diarrhea. A little over a month ago, it was almost two hours. And now it is about 24 hours as well. And the diarrhea lasts only a few hours, instead of a few days (other symptoms last longer, though).

I usually have about 36-48 hours, depending on the food. Pasta is almost instant though. But pizza (I cheated a couple of weeks ago) was about 2 days. It is really weird. My symptoms are totally off now that I am gluten free. It takes longer to get sick, and the sick is so much less than it was when I was eating every day. Not that it is ok to eat now, just odd that it is getting "better".

I am running for the bathroom about 30-60 min after being accedentally glutened.

I am always amazed at the different answers this question always gets!

I usually begin to feel the cramping begin about 2 hours after the "accident". Shortly after that, the D sets in. It is interesting to read the different answers to this question.

I see reactions about 24-36 hours after. It makes it hard to pin-down the offending food sometimes. I started a food journal which helps in looking back but, it's still frsutarting.

Actually, looking back at my answer, it isn't entirely accurate. I got a heavy feeling in my stomach shortly after eating that pizza (doubting the celiac, wanting to know for sure a few days ago). A stomach ache not long after. And the next morning I was wheezing and feeling really tired and apathetic (which lasted all day), before finally, 24 hours after eating the pizza, I got diarrhea. I also used to have constantly tearing eyes (especially out of the outer corners), which had almost disappeared, and it was very bad again. It's finally getting better today (three days later).

      Contradicting length of time for gluten challenge - please help to ensure not getting false negative. Thank you!

      By DebJ14 · Posted

      Good luck to you.  I would not get past that first slice of bread.  I would be vomiting and have diarrhea within 30 minutes and it would continue for hours and I would feel like I was hit by a truck for days.  My functional medicine doctor told me to stop taking Calcium and to significantly up my Vitamin D, add K2, lots of Magnesium, some boron and collagen.  This was all recommended after taking the Spectracell test for nutrient deficiencies.  Started doing this at 54 when diagnosed and at 72 no issues with the old bones.

      Gluten-Free House Swaps

      I live in Ottawa Canada and would be interested in a swap with someone who also has a gluten-free house. I’d love to swap out in winter for somewhere warm.

      Celiac or Addison's complications? Can someone share their experience?

      By trents · Posted

      @KRipple, thank you for the lab results from your husband's celiac disease blood antibody testing. The lab result you share would seem to be the tTG-IGA (Tissue Transglutaminase IGA) and the test result is in excess of 10x normal. This is significant as there is an increasing tendency for physicians to grant a celiac disease diagnosis on the basis of antibody testing alone when the scores on that particular test exceed 10x normal. This trend started in the UK during the COVID pandemic when there was tremendous pressure on the medical system over there and it has spread to the USA. The tTG-IGA is the centerpiece of celiac disease blood antibody testing. All this to say that some doctors would grant a celiac disease diagnosis on your husband's bloodwork alone and not feel a need to go forward with an endoscopy with biopsy. This is something you and your husband might wish to take up with his physicians. In view of his many health issues it might be wise to avoid any further damage to his small bowel lining by the continuing consumption of gluten and also to allow healing of such to progress. The lining of the small bowel is the place where essentially all of our nutrition is absorbed. This is why celiac disease when it is not addressed with a gluten free diet for many years typically results in additional health problems that are tied to nutritional deficiencies. The millions and millions of tiny finger-like projections that make up the nutrient absorbing surface of the small bowel lining are worn down by the constant inflammation from gluten consumption. In celiac disease, the immune system has been tricked into labeling gluten as an invader. As these finger-like projections are worn down, the efficiency of nutrient absorption becomes more and more compromised. We call this villous atrophy.

      Celiac or Addison's complications? Can someone share their experience?

      By KRipple · Posted

      Thank you so much! And sorry for not responding sooner. I've been scouring the hospital records and can find nothing other than the following results (no lab info provided): Component Transglutaminase IgA   Normal Range: 0 - 15.0 U/mL >250.0 U/mL High   We live in Olympia, WA and I will be calling University of Washington Hospital - Roosevelt in Seattle first thing tomorrow. They seem to be the most knowledgeable about complex endocrine issues like APS 2 (and perhaps the dynamics of how APS 2 and Celiacs can affect each other). His diarrhea has not abated even without eating gluten, but that could be a presentation of either Celiac's or Addison's. So complicated. We don't have a date for endoscopy yet. I will let my husband know about resuming gluten.    Again, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with me!
