Celiac Disease Support Group

Celiac disease is an auto-immune disorder of the digestive system that occurs in genetically-predisposed individuals. It is characterised by damage or flattening to all or part of the villi lining the small intestine, which interferes with the absorption of nutrients. This damage is caused by eating anything with gluten (gliadin), a protein found in wheat, rye, and barley...

Too Long Gluten Free

Gee it is something like six years since I was diagnosed (gene-endoscopy) with Celiac Disease.  Have now had enough of it.  Do not look forward to this for the rest of my life.Am so tempted to eat a lovely jam donut. - not sure about 36 hours in the bathroom.


Ah add some Kentucky Fried Chicken to it. Made the mistake of not having them when starting the gluten free diet. :-(


There is no need for anyone here to show concern should I slip up once or so. Gastrologist (very capable) says one time does not matter. That makes sence to me. B.Sc. But am not a doctor.

I feel you on a new level. I have been diagnosed for about 6 years as well and made the mistake of slipping up and eating a sloppy joe. It was actually on accident (my buns got switch). Even though it was the most delicious sandwich I had ever had in my entire life, I can assure you it WAS NOT worth a full week of sickness and sprinting to the bathroom hoping I didn’t shit my paints.
I think as time went on I was actually more sensitive. I can tell within about 15 min every time if I had too much cross-contamination. Yes, one time does make a difference. Your cells are dying and that will affect your absorption of nurturance, which in return will affect you, your moods, and your shit.
Better to play it safe than give into temptation. I believe in your straight!
