How soon do u flare up after eating...

Hi. How soon do you flare up after eating the offending food? Just wondering, I'm still trying to pinpoint my triggers. Thanks

I can flare as soon as 30 minutes after I eat or drink something but it can be as long as a day later also.

It can be as fast as 30 minutes later or it can be a "buildup" thing where one serving would have been ok, but if I had the food several days in a row, I'll end up flaring...

If I've been on the diet strictly and haven't been tempting fate for at least a week and I eat a small amount of a trigger food... within a half hour. If I've only been partially following diet or trying other foods and getting mini-flares and I'm in "build to a full on flare" mode... then maybe as much as 24 hours.

I found the only way to be sure is go on the diet super strictly and then add a food in. You'll know pretty quick.

Thanks ladies! There's so much to learn!

For me, it really depends on the culprit. Something like juice hits me the fastest, within an hour or two. More solid items can take a whole day.

Keeping a food & drink diary can be a great way to see the relationship between a specific food and the flare it causes.

Oh wow. It really does vary. But for me, two to three hours is a rough idea.
