You can get delayed reactions to a food, and withdrawal symptoms after eating it. If these occur within the next day, or two days, after eating a food, they can be hard to tell apart, although withdrawal symptoms have certain characteristics. If you feel well on eating a food, and do not feel ill until several hours after a meal, this is most likely a delayed reaction. If you feel ill the next day, it can be either delayed or withdrawal reaction. Either way, it is the food you ate the day before that is upsetting you.
If you get unexplained reactions, keep a note of the foods you ate the day before and see if there is any pattern. Proteins and grains are particularly prone to cause delayed reactions.
Delayed reactions can occur up to several days after eating a food. This is more common in cases of dermatitis. To track this down, you may have to eat suspect foods only once every two weeks and see what happens. Long delayed reactions of this kind are very rare in children, who usually react within a few hours of eating a food.
