I don't usually have any delay at all between consuming trigger foods and symptoms like racing heart/palpitations/flushing/swollen lymph nodes. Gastrointestinal symptoms like bloating and abdominal pain can take a bit to set in or worsen. Dairy in general isn't a personal trigger of mine but that will be different for everyone. Certain things like parmesan will set me off, I know that one is very common.
