It can be a bit later, too.  In my personal experience, the attack that
finally clued us in to my son's allergy to dairy in my diet was a ten
hour screamfest that began 30 hours after I ingested the culprit.  He had
been generally fussy with green diarrhea from the bits of
cheese/condensed soup in things people had brought us postpartum, but I
did not suspect dairy, since I don't cook with it myself and therefore
didn't really realize I had been eating it.  One Saturday morning I ate
two pieces of tiramisu that my husband had brought home from a business
trip, and Sunday afternoon the firworks began.  It only took three days
of elimination to clear it out of my milk, probably because I ate so
little generally (?)
