<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> I believe my 11-year old daughter has Celiac disease. I put her on the gf-diet on Jan. 13, 2001. The question I have is: Do people have the same reaction when they ingest a little bit of gluten and when they ingest a lot of gluten? I thought my daughter's reaction time was 24 hours. A few times things would happen and she would get a small amount of gluten (like when someone gave her a hamburger that was taken off a hamburger bun because they didn't know any better) and exactly 24 hours later she would have bad abdominal pain and diarrhea. Well, on Thursday my daughter ate a 1/2 bagel from one of her friends at school around 11:00 am. I figured Friday around 11:00 am she would be calling from the nurse's office with abdominal pain and diarrhea. Well, all that happened on Friday was she woke up with a little bit of abdominal pain. This, of course, threw me for a loop. I didn't understand it. Well Sunday, Monday and Tuesday she has been home "sick" with no fever, swollen glands in her neck, sore throat, abdominal pain and headache. I believe this is from the gluten, but I hate to blame everything on gluten. These are the same symptoms she would have about every 2 weeks when she was not on the gluten-free diet. So I was just wondering if there is a difference in reactions between a small amount of gluten and a large amount of gluten. Thanks in advance for any help you can give me to help me resolve this new mystery. Just when I think I have this whole thing figured out, something comes along and confuses me. Thanks! Linda
