Time from eating gluten until symptoms come?

Hi,

I just wondered when your symptoms appear after you have eaten gluten? Mine seem to be about 7-8 hours, does this sound like coeliac to you? Waiting on blood tests 

 

thank you

What symptoms are you experiencing?

For me, if I get a good dose of gluten I get violent emesis for 2-3 hours followed by diarrhea for several more hours. These symptoms have their onset with 2-3 hours of eating the gluten, which is about the time it takes for food to be released from the stomach into the small bowel.

About 24 hrs. 
With my grandmother it's 7 days, like clockwork. It must vary a lot.

Of course, it may depend on what particular symptoms you are referencing. Unlike me, some people do not experience emesis and diarrhea from gluten so some symptoms may be more delayed.

Trents, is there anything you've found that helps with the violent emesis and diahrrea? I have the same severe reaction, within an hour usually after being glutened.  Some attacks have lasted for hours, causing dehydration and weakness.  Thankfully, it rarely happens, as I am very careful, but when it does....horrible.

No I haven't. And the gut spasms are so painful I almost want to die. I don't feel like I could keep anything down even if there was something that would indeed help. It would have to be an injectable. I just lay on the floor in a ball of pain and get up to hang over the toilet and puke some more. It is obvious my body is pulling out all the stops to purge me of the toxin and I wouldn't want to interfere with that.

Ah, then I'm not alone in my reaction.  Much more severe than the typical celiac, from what I've researched, and harder to handle once it hits.  Wish there was something that helped, because it's debilitating when it occurs.

The good news is that for me I think it takes a significant exposure to gluten to make me sick like that. My sense is that trace amounts don't make me acutely ill. Last year my wife made some wheat biscuits for herself and some gluten-free biscuits for me and it turned out they looked exactly the same. I accidently ate a couple three of hers one night and it made me very ill as I have described.

The bad news is I react violently like that to other things that do not have gluten. Chia seeds, hemp groats and unwashed quinoa for example. I think it must be the saponins in the seed coats. Avocados seem to make me ill as well. Some of these are things, even after Celiac diagnosis, I used to be able to eat with out issue but more recently they make me ill. I suspect I suffer from histamine intolerance.

Carousel Lady,

Here is a thread that might help you.

https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/cytokines-trigger-gut-reaction-in-people-with-celiac-disease-r4892/

You might try taking Riboflavin....it has been used in Cycling Vomiting....

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26226892/

It could also be a Thiamine deficiency. Here is a study about it.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4175961/

I would tell you to take a B-complex but the Thiamine in most B-complexs are not highly absorbed.

Find some Benfotiamine and take with a B-complex with your meals and it might help your Emesis.

I hope this is helpful but it is not medical advise.

      R there any organizations that help with financial costs of food?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @CiCi1021! Well, to begin with, most of us have found it isn't necessary to buy a lot of specifically labeled "gluten free" or "Certified Gluten Free" prepackaged food items as long as you are willing and able to cook from scratch. This is especially true since testing by celiac watchdog groups has cast some serious doubt on how consistently food companies are actually meeting gluten free and certified gluten free standards. It's probably just as effective and certainly less expensive to buy naturally gluten free mainline food products such as fresh meat, vegetables and fruit and prepare your own meals. The only major exception to that in my experience is loaf bread. It's very difficult to make your own gluten free bread products and have them come out decent with regard to texture. The major food companies have invested a lot into that component and have come up with some pretty good stuff that's hard to duplicate for yourself.

      Struggling with costs of all the special food.  Are there any organizations out there that will assist with costs?

      Should I get a second opinion?

      By trents · Posted

      I would ask the GI doc about the elevated IGA score of 401. That one is what we commonly refer to as "total IGA" and also known as "Immunoglobulin A (IgA)". It could be nothing but it can also indicate some other health issues, some of them serious in nature. I would google potential causes for that if I were you. Also, if there is a chance the GI doc will want to do more testing for celiac disease, either antibody testing or an endoscopy with biopsy, you should not cut back on gluten consumption until all celiac disease testing is done. Otherwise, you will invalidate the testing.

      By shell504 · Posted

      Hello. I apologize. I didn't know there wasn't a standard.  The standard listed  for the IGA is normal range 47-310.  The others were all listed as <15.0 u/l is antibody not detected and 15> antibody is detected.  And the negative one the standard is negative.  It is a normal PCP dr. I do have a second opinion appt scheduled with a GI specialist in 2 weeks. Honestly, I haven't cut out gluten at all. I just switched to whole fibers and everything has been getting better. She wanted to do the test just to check, which I was fine with. We'll see what the GI dr says. Thank you for commenting.

      Mistakenly eating gluten

      By trents · Posted

      It is also possible that since eating the fries you have been glutened again during the week. I would double check the food in your cupboard and reread the ingredient lists. Food companies can and do change their formulations from time to time such that something that used to be gluten free is no more. What I am saying is, don't assume the distress you are experiencing comes from one incident of glutening. There could, coincidentally, be another one on it's heels.
