Guest guest Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 I get a headache within 10-15 minutes of gluten, and when I inadvertently got a lot, its a bad migraine lasting hours or even days. The last time it happened I could barely get out of bed even the next day. It happens really fast. palmer@... ________________________________________ From: [ ] On Behalf Of Harper [flatcat9@...] Sent: Saturday, February 06, 2010 2:59 PM Subject: Re: [ ] What is glutened?

I have heard people say they feel bad 15 minutes after eating gluten and that is not a celiac reaction; it may take a long time (hours or days) to have a gluten reaction in your intestines and by then you may have eaten several things in several places.

Just curious about what the group thinks. -----Original Message----- From: rami_keisari <rami_keisari@...> Sent: Sat, Feb 6, 2010 9:22 am Subject: [ ] What is glutened?

Guest guest Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 After having followed a liquid fast for a year with no symptoms ever of celiac disease, I again started on food last July. As soon as I started on solid food, I began to get sick with bowel problems, extreme gassiness, and weakness. I was diagnosed with last October, just a few months later. I have had a few bouts of accidental gluten ingestion since then. My symptoms usually begin the next day and are bowel related— with each urination little, stringy, and thin feces, and some diarrhea. Occasionally I will get some bloating but nothing like before diagnosis. It takes a week or more for normalcy to return. I know it is gluten related because the symptoms are always the same for me and only happens after I eat out. My home is totally gluten free.
