I assume everyone is different and also, might the way in which someone reacts change over time? I know some get Gluten and have a reaction in min. Is it possible that some might take several hours to get to pain and nausea and all that?

Also some get just crumb and other might only be affected by a bite?

Thanks.

Some people not only take hours to react, they can take a day or more. I think I respond in about 24 hours.

Thanks, In not new to problems, but new to finding out about it. Yesterday, on small piece of shrimp deep fried in batter of course. About 3 pm. Then about 9 pm. abdominal pain and nausea. Some ginger tea and plain yogurt before bed, a good nights sleep and much much better this morning.

It takes hours for me, but for sure I'll be in pain for a whole day the next day.

I react almost immediately. It usually starts with my mouth burning and I have to drink lots of liquids with the food, then I have trouble breathing and my five senses go wonky. My stomach starts bloating after a few minutes but it usually take a few hours for D to set in. I have a lot of symptoms that last for over a week when I get glutened and I'm really sensitive, trace amounts get me never mind a crumb...

What type of reactions do you get? I ate a brownie and my forhead and eyes swelled up with fluid. Not sure what to do about this since doctors are useless.

It depends on how much I've eaten, but usually between 45mins and a couple of hours.

I usually react sometime between 1-3 hours. Starts with a gurgling, bubbling, stomach - very uncomfortable bloating too. Then it moves into nausea, headache, extreme fatigue, cramping, shortness of breath ... It's horrible. For me, a trace amount is enough to send me reeling. It's awful.

      Guidance on next steps after the lab tests

      By ABP2025 · Posted

      Got it. Thanks Scott. I'll set up an appointment with a GI after the holidays and get all the celiac disease screening done. Thanks to this amazing forum and to all who have answered my question, I now know what my next steps are.

      Guidance on next steps after the lab tests

      By ABP2025 · Posted

      Aah it sucks that there's no definitive way to confirm NCGS or celiac. I've found a GI clinic that is covered by my insurance and I'll contact them after the holidays to setup an appointment. I hope to get some sort of clarity with further tests.

      Guidance on next steps after the lab tests

      By ABP2025 · Posted

      Thanks @knitty kitty. I didn't know about thiamine deficiency before you had mentioned it. I'm doing more research into what it is and how I can test for that deficiency. Is Vitamin B1 test the best way to find it? I saw that there is another test: Erythrocyte transketolase activity coefficient (ETKAC) assay to test for thiamine deficiency but I'm not sure how that test is done. Is that something I can take on my own or do I need GI referral. If it does turn out that I'm thiamine deficient, does that confirm that I have celiac disease or could it just mean that I have not been consuming Vitamin B1 rich food and once I address that with a supplement or food, I would no longer be thiamine deficient? Also full disclosure, I'm a vegetarian and only last year I found out that my Vitamin D level was very low. It was 3.7 ng/ml and the ideal range is >29.9 ng/ml. After a year of taking multivitamin supplement, my Vitamin D level has gone up to 27 ng/ml. Though it's better than 3.7 ng/ml, it's still below the range. I'm not sure for how long my Vitamin D level was around 3.7 ng/ml before 2023 as I didn't have my Vitamin D test taken prior to that. My doctor also wanted to check my Vitamin B12 level as I might not be getting enough of it from vegetarian sources. When I took that test last year, Vitamin B12 was 247 pg/ml and ideal range is 200-1100 pg/ml. So it's still within the range though it's on the lower end of the ideal range. I also have recently started taking vitamin b-complex tablets daily. I've never checked other Vitamin B levels including Vitamin B1. Do you know if such a very low level of Vitamin D and moderately lower level of Vitamin B12 would cause celiac disease or may contribute to some of the symptoms I've been experiencing? Regarding the DNA test to test celiac genes, are you referring to HLA DQ2 and HLA DQ8 tests? As soon as I got the result where my IgG was above range, I had ordered the "HLA Typing for Celiac Disease" test in Quest Diagnostics which measures HLA DQ2 and HLA DQ8. The test is 2 weeks from now and I'll post my results here once I receive them.

      Small amounts of gliadin are detectable in some samples of human breast milk but these are at too low a level to cause symptoms. No gliadin has been detected in the beef of grain-fed cattle.   https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5622696/

      Years of testing - no real answers

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Kiwifruit, I agree further testing is needed.  Disaccharidase deficiency is a symptom of Celiac disease.   On your test results, this line  "IgA: 0.9 g/l (norm 0.8 - 4.0)" is referring to Total IgA and it's very low.  People with low or deficient Total IgA should also have DGP IgG test done.  Low Total IgA means you are making low levels of tTg  IgA as well, leading to false negatives or "weak positives".  Maybe a DNA test for known Celiac genes.   Anemia, diabetes, and thiamine deficiency can cause test results like these.  Get checked for B12 deficiency anemia and have your iron (ferritin) checked.  Vitamin D deficiency is common, too.   Might be time to find a gastrointestinal doctor who is more familiar with diagnosing Celiac Disease.   Best wishes on your journey!  Please keep us posted on your progress.
