Question by Jimmy Hendrix: If you have a gluten sensitivity or celiac, how long after eating gluten would you react?
I get stomach grumbling and I think it’s from gluten, I want to know how long after you eat something with gluten would it take to react and how long would it last?

It depends greatly on the individual.
Some people get bloating and/or stomach/bowel problems 24-48 hours after they ingest gluten. Some get tummy trouble as soon as it hits the stomach. Some get stomach pain, some get vertigo, some get vomiting, some get joint pain and brain fog. I am a celiac who gets a neurological response within 2 minutes of ingesting gluten, which makes my words slur and knocks me down with vertigo. Truly, it can be a surprising number of reactions.
It can last a few days or weeks, depending on how much gluten was eaten and how quickly a person’s body can heal.
You can get a blood test for celiac disease, though, which might be able to help. Gluten intolerance, you just have to do an elimination diet. However, once you start the elimination diet, the celiac disease test will be negative, so it’s a good idea to get that before starting the diet, if possible.

Everyone varies in how long the reaction may take to happen, but I would simply go to your local GP/Doctor and request a test, they simple take a sample of your blood then let you know if anything is indicating towards ‘Celiac disease’.
