how long from the time you eat?
Hi everyone. Does anyone have an idea of how long after you eat something, a reaction will occur ( D)? Sometimes I don't know if it's something I ate the night before, or that morning, or even an hour ago? HELP!
Hi Leah,
As Martha said, this varies by the individual, and by the food-sensitivity. Many people react about 6 to 12 hours after eating gluten, but for some it's longer. Oats cleans me out in 3 to 6 hours, (IOW, the reaction begins in about 3 hours, and it's usually over after about 6 hours). I happen to know that, because I once did an extensive oat challenge, just to prove that the experts are wrong about wheat-free oats being safe for people who are gluten-sensitive, to eat.
Keeping a "Winning the Poo" diary can help to pinpoint food/reaction connections.
Those who react within 10 to 20 minutes of eating something are experiencing a mast call reaction. IOW, they also have either mastocytic enterocolitis or mast cell activation disorder, (MACD).

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.
