gluten reaction

[Guest guest]

Someone earlier mentioned having a noticeable reaction

to eating something with gluten. What kind of a

reaction is it and how common is that? As far as I

can tell, I don't have immediate reactions, only

cumulative ones such as leg cramps or anemia.

Thanks,

Sharon,

I usually get gas, loose bowels & loud bowel sounds.

Reactions can really vary, but with small amounts (say from soy

sauce or other sneaky ingredients) I get " loose bowels " and with an

actual bread product or breading I vomit uncontrollably starting 3

1/2 hours after consuming it. (And no, I would NEVER eat it on

purpose). An ex of mine said it was like the exorcist vomiting, and

i am sad to say it's kind of an accurate description. I think these

kinds of reactions are not uncommon, although not everyone vomits,

to my understanding.

I immediately bloat and, depending on the amount, get some degree of diarrhea. I also often get itchy skin - especially a certain place on my foot.
