Guest guest Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 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.

We tried with gluten, but it made him extrememly hyperactive (more so than normal), obstinate, and aggressive. On Saturday we were out shopping 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.

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 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.

And, it might have been other ingredients, rather than the gluten, that caused the problem. >>does it normally take 24 hours for a > diet violation to kick in? It can, yes.

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 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. . > My son has been GFCF since early August.
