Re: Re: When do the symptoms arise?

[Guest guest]

It took me a long time to figure out that wheat bothered me because it didn't make me sick that day, the next or even a week later. But over the course of a month, I would get very bloated, tired, etc. Most foods that bother me take 2 or 3 days before I get sick. So, anyway, for me it has been a little tricky to figure it all out. I wait longer than 3 days between introducing new foods, more like a week. Constipation is one of my symptoms. It seems like if I eat something that my body doesn't like, it just stops moving things through for a bit and then a few days later clears it all out. People who have diarrhea instead probably get quicker feedback about the foods they eat.

Hi ,

It is good to give yourself 3 days just to be sure. But I think the important thing is knowing your body. For instance, like , I can usually tell that day! But that is because I know it comes out of me about 6 hours later- I can usually spot the offender But, for instance, you could develop a rash a few days later so it's good to give it time and keep a journal
