Re: reaction to gluten

[Guest guest]

All of my son's food reactions are delayed. He can eat something with msg on

Sunday and seem fine until Monday, when the horror show begins. It took me

awhile to figure this out, but apparently this is common, since you can test for

food sensitivities both ways--immediate reaction/delayed reaction. (not the

terms they would use at the doctor's office, I think).

My son was never tested, but from keeping a food diary and making observations

we learned that his reactions happen the next day.

and were later than anticipated, so my husband and I decided to stop

for dinner. I had brought my son's enzymes with us, so I was hoping

the gluten he had at dinner would not be a big problem. My son has

never been a bread eater, but he gobbled up his hot dog bun like he

was starving. Everything seemed fine until about 24 hours later when

he went completely bonkers - running around, putting his hands on

everything, staying up until 10:00 PM (he normal falls asleep by 7:00-

7:30). My question is this - does it normally take 24 hours for a

diet violation to kick in? I thought his reaction would have been

more immediate. Thank you.

Also--it may or may not have been a gluten reaction. Hot dog buns have many

other bad ingredients like high fructose corn syrup, hydrogenated oils, etc. He

could have been reacting to one thing or many.

Not all kids can leave gfcf, even with enzymes. And, it might have

been other ingredients, rather than the gluten, that caused the problem.

It can, yes.

In addition to what others posted (other ingredients, yes on delayed

reaction, etc), here are some other thoughts:

- some kids who can't leave GFCF with Peptizyde are able to with

GlutenEase (it has more enzymes for more complete gluten breakdown)

- try doubling the amount of Peptizyde or similar product with any

gluten ingestion

- I didn't see how long you had been taking enzymes. Sometimes it

isn't possible to leave food restrictions immediately. It may take a

few months first for more gut healing to happen. My son HAD to have

enzymes with dairy in the beginning. But over time, he needed less

and less enzymes until now he can have dairy and anything else and

doesn't require enzymes at all.
