Re: How soon do you react to gluten?

[Guest guest]

Angie,

My CD child is also 2 and he reacts almost immediately (within 30 min)

if it's something big...like getting a hold of his brother's cereal.

I'm not sure if cross-contamination would be any different.

My son becomes very agitated and inconsolable when he's been glutened.

HTH.

God Bless.

I was diagnosed around 2 yrs also. When I was younger, I reacted

within 2 hrs of ingesting gluten. Now, 25yrs old, it takes about 5

hrs before I react.

But learning how long it takes your son to react definitely helps

backtrack to what caused it. Everyone reacts differently and at

different times.

Do you get a fever with a reaction, ever? And does the reaction last

a day or a few days?

thanks to you all. I'm trying to determine if it's a virus or some

gluten, and if gluten, where it came from, etc... I know you

understand... Sounds like it's different for everyone but maybe with

little kids the reaction is faster, and that helps a lot. I'm

feeding my baby (Will's younger brother) oat cereal now, and the

flakes may have gotten into the fruit bowl. But Will also had a

fever last night so I'm thinking a virus might be the culprit.

I react within 1/2 hour *most* times I get contaminated (just long

enough to finish the meal and maybe get to the car, not long enough to

get home without a potty stop), but there have been times when I find

out I've been contaminated and I don't react at all or until 12+ hours

later.
