Bridget, I don't know much about food intolerances either, but they are activated by a different pathway than food allergies so its skin manifestations typically take a while -- I would guess from several hours to a day. It can be longer, but then you're talking about a rare manifestation (isolated facial dermatitis) with an unusually long time course -- that's reportably rare by anyone's standards. Note that while Celiac disease (from Suzi's note) is technically an intolerance to gluten, the mechanism behind it is much different than, for example, an intolerance to wheat (one of the most common food intolerances). Unlike a classic wheat intolerance, Celiac disease is an immune-mediated disorder that may present subclinically with few if any symptoms. So Celiac disease may very well present with only a dermatitis, and will probably take weeks to resolve on a gluten-free diet. From what I've read, though, the rash's description and location doesn't sound too easy to confuse with rosacea.
