Symptom Free People

I've been - hopefully - gluten-free for 2 weeks along with my daughter, neither of us had any GI symptoms before diagnosis, so my question is - Will we know if we got glutened? How do I know if I am doing this right? I don't feel any different neither does my daughter, but since our tests were so bad I really don't want to get this wrong.

Many silent celiacs (those without symptoms before diagnosis) find that they get all of the classic symptoms when accidentally glutened after they've been on the diet for a while. This was the case with me. I was asymptomatic when I was diagnosed....quite amazing that I was diagnosed at all, really....my GP just had a suspicion, as I had low iron and I am type one diabetic. But that was it. After I had been gluten-free for a couple of months, and my lower intestine had had time to heal, I was suddenly getting bloated, diarrhea and cramps from time to time. My body was finally reacting!

I think that this is very common.....so hopefully (I think?) once your insides get to know what it's like to be normal and well, you will react physically to gluten.

My experience was similar to elye's, except I developed the good-old fashioned celiac stomach symptoms within 3 weeks of starting the gluten-free diet. If I remember right, cramping was the first major symptom, but shortly thereafter I was game for all the standards. Hopefully you'll stay symptom free!

      Welcome to the forum, @LimpToeTheTimeless Bone growth plates close in the late teens to early twenties, so it's doubtful you'll grow much taller, but you may start to bulk up in muscle.  Remember to boost your absorption of vitamins and minerals needed to build muscle by eating a nutritionally dense diet and supplementing with essential vitamins and minerals, especially Thiamine B1, to counteract the malabsorption caused by Celiac Disease. Keep us posted on your progress!

      Fermentation breaks down some of the gluten in wheat. Nowhere enough for a wheat dough to become gluten free, but the gluten may be significantly reduced. I think some pizzerias make the dough the day before and leave it overnight. The longer the microbes are acting on the flour, the better.

      I am M 21 and I diagnosed myself after a week of fasting and slowly reintroducing stuff in my diet except gluten, I had terrible eczema scars ,dandruff and brain fog, now I am free after 6 years of just pain, I am 6'2, will I grow taller? And since I am a gymnast will my muscles grow like quicker, cause before no matter how effort I put in I just couldn't.

      And the fact is, no two celiacs will necessarily respond the same to gluten exposure. Some are "silent" celiacs and don't experience obvious symptoms. But that doesn't mean no harm is being done to their gut. It just means it is subclinical.
