I think my dinner (7:00) had gluten, but I felt fine that night but started to get the bloating, crampy discomfort at noon the next day and it lasted for 12+ hours. Does anyone have delayed symptoms or do you get immediate discomfort?

Hmmm... when I first started gluten free I remember having a weak moment and eating a peanut butter brownie (well, I guess of all things to gluten yourself on, that would be a good one LOL). I was OK that night but then I think the next day I was having some symptoms. Same for a time I had beer... OK that night but then kinda icky the next day. I think its individual. I am also so new to gluten-free that it will probably take me a while to learn to predict myself.

Iv been glutened once since being gluten free and i reacted Immediately. Then the next couple days were really crappy for me.

It is not uncommon for the reaction to be delayed. That's one factor in making intolerances hard to pinpoint. As for myself I notice some neuro symptoms within hours but the GI upset usually builds up for up to three days then hits full force with D and severe cramps. That ends in a day but for me the reactivation of my ataxia and arthritis and tendon problems continue for another 3 weeks.

I get a migraine almost immediately after being glutened, but the majority of the symptoms don't start until later. Gut pain, bloating, and brain fog are about 12 hours later, usually. For me it depends on the amount ingested, really. My reactions never seem to be quite the same and that is what made it difficult to diagnose.

I get forehead tingles 45 minutes after ingestion, and a migraine progresses from there down my body, shoulders, and then hips over the next few hours. I really feel physically the worst 24-48 hours later as my body starts to ache/cramp/tingle/twitch all over. Lately, nausea (probably migraine/indigestion) have been bothering me on the subsequent days. On day 4-5, my BM's change from the celiac damage, and then I start recovering. Tylenol helps the pain. Tylenol PM helps me get through the roughest nights. Otherwise, I'm up with night sweats, night mares, and heart palpitations.

I get really tired almost immedietly, about 12 hours later I get REALLY hungry, and the brain fog and depression kick in and hang around for 2 days. Day 3 usually feels like I've swallowed a horse and find it hard to actually eat anything, day 4 I get really itchy but generally feel a lot better.. by day 5 and 6 I usually start to feel "normal" again.

      Alcohol

      By James47 · Posted

      So as some of you already know I was 47 turning 48 before my diagnosis so a lot and a lot of internal damage. I no longer obviously drink beer unless gluten-free variants of it but does anyone else really struggle when just drink any sorts of alcohol now. I'm really thinking going tea total and avoiding it completely

      Hi CathiJean, Wipe those tears my friend.  Finding out that you have celiac just gave you the cheat code on how to start feeling better!  It may feel like a loss right now, but honestly within 6 months you will start feeling better.  Within a year you will look back and wonder how in the world did I survive feeling like that for what feels like a lifetime?  You mentioned 15 years, that's about how long I have been really ill as well.  I had told every doctor I saw that I kept getting sick, infections, hair loss, joint pain, etc. and nobody would listen to me until I turned 45.  I went in for a colonoscopy and the doc says how often do you have bowel movements and I said usually between 10-15 times a day.  Suddenly I had someone actually listen to me and the testing began.  What I can tell you is use this forum, talk to peers, read everything you can about how to gluten-free your kitchen, encourage your family to participate in your journey (trust me they love you enough to make the effort), how to order food in restaurants, and how to avoid cross contamination.  Accept that you will make mistakes and allow yourself grace as you implement your new normal and have a clear understanding that going gluten free will begin healing your body in ways that you will not even begin to understand until you actually do it.  So, have faith that the nutrient deficiencies that you are probably experiencing right now can be corrected and you are on a bright path to feeling SO much better.  Think about how incredible your mom journey is about to become as you begin to feel better!!  Your kids are going to be amazed at your energy levels, ability to play and go do stuff...you are leveling up knowing that you have Celiac.  Knowing gives you power my friend, harness it and have gratitude that it was discovered...even if the docs missed it - you know now and keep moving forward.  You got this!!

      If you have been eating the gluten equivalent of 4-6 slices of wheat bread daily for say, 4 weeks, I think a repeat blood test would be valid.

      it did include Total Immunoglobin A which was 135, and said to be in normal range. when i did the blood test in January I would say I was on a "light' gluten diet, but def not gluten free.  I didn't have any clue about the celiac thing then.  Since then I have been eating a tonne of gluten for the purpose of the endoscopy....so I'm debating just getting my blood test redone right away to see if it has changed so I'm not waiting another month...

      Welcome to the forum, @englishbunny! Did your celiac panel include a test for "Total IGA"? That is a test for IGA deficiency. If you are IGA deficient, other IGA test resultls will likely be falsely low. Were you by any chance already practicing a reduced gluten free diet when the blood draw was done?
