She may be celiac, rather than have an allergy. So increased exposure (more gluten and/or more often) would fit that pattern more than a gluten allergy, in my opinion, but this is not definitive.

It would definitely be worth getting her tested for celiac disease. Do this soon – some tests may not be valid if she has not been exposed to gluten for a while and it would be better to get the test due to expose in the recent past, instead of having to get her sick to be properly tested.

What if that muffin she had turned out to be gluten-free and the parents didn’t tell anyone (why should they?) Maybe you should ask.

I suggest you tell the school she is gluten-intolerant, no reason to wait. You can always take her off the list if you find out she’s not.

We have never had her tested, but her ever increasing “episodes” of severe abdominal pain, nausea, constipation and sometimes mild fever stopped once we had her go gluten free. Her only episodes now can be tracked down to accidental exposure and her reaction is anywhere from 6 hours to a day and a half (the latest one). Although one thing has me stumped. About 9 days she tells me she had a cupcake in her class because a classmate was celebrating a birthday. Usually she is excellent about asking if something is gluten free or not, so this surprised me. Since we just found out a few months ago, I haven’t officially put it in my daughter’s school record that she is gluten intolerant, so any parent bringing in food wouldn’t know to bring gluten free items. She has had no gluten reaction, except for tonight. Tonight’s “episode” could be tracked down to a bag of chips that she had earlier that might have been fried with other gluten items, but if it is the chips, that still doesn’t explain her having no reaction to the cupcake. Has anyone had a delayed gluten reaction that took at least 10 days to show up? I’ve always been suspicious that her episodes were due to a collection of gluten in her body (the more gluten, the more often the episodes and the stronger they were) and the longer she is gluten free, maybe her body takes longer to react? I’m really stumped and still on a huge learning curve concerning gluten intolerance.

You’re most welcome! It really makes my day when I see how much this site is helping people.

Have you cut out gluten and found that your symptoms disappeared, or is this something you are going to try?

I’ve been trawling the internet for ages looking for an answer to all my supposedly un-gluten-related symptoms. For this past year I have had a continually scratchy throat and an accompanying post nasal drip, not to mention the awful excema and puffy face. The doctors said it was completely, entirely and utterly unrelated…. haha, they were wrong!!
