I have Celiac disease - I do  not have " a few days of a lot of Gluten filled foods".   Eating gluten on purpose would be an act of extreme self-hate/self harming.

Right, the gluten-free diet is a medical diet, not a weightloss/fad diet.  If you want to know about glutening symptoms though, you can search  the forum for "glutened" or "cheating".  There are a lto of threads on the subject already.  There are also threads about doing a gluten challenge where people eat gluten in order to be ready for celiac medical testing.  They might have the info you are looking for.

I'm just curious because i'll go 6 months 100 percent gluten free without a cheat and then go on a vacation or whatever and eat tons of gluten and i free exactly the same.   I was diagnosed by two different doctors through intestinal biopsies and genetic testing.   just doesn't make sense i wouldn't notice any difference at all.  I'd love to notice something so it gives more incentive to follow such a restrictive lifestyle

You know....I always cringe when someone uses the term "restrictive" when referencing the gluten-free diet.  I have been doing this for 11 years, without ever cheating on purpose, and have never found it to be restrictive.  It is only restrictive if your mind set is negative with regards to eating gluten free.  I eat such a variety of foods and have been able to make almost everything I used to eat in a great gluten free version, the word "restrictive" does not apply to me. Now, if you want to say it's inconvenient at times, that's a whole different ballgame.

Some people just do not have in your face symptoms. Where you very symptomatic when diagnosed?

Why not just search "lymphoma" within the forum.  Contact other members who were diagnosed with lymphoma from untreated celiac disease.

Since you are consuming gluten, why not participate in a new celiac disease drug study?  This is weird, but I just received this in my inbox today!  

Open Original Shared Link
A Pill to Treat Celiac Disease?
Now enrolling patients to a clinical study! 
 
WHO: you may be eligible for this study if:
  • You are age 18 and older
  • You have celiac disease
  • You have been on a gluten-free diet for at least one year
  • You are willing to eat gluten (bread)
WHAT: testing of Montelukast (a drug that has been approved by the FDA for treatment of asthma) for the treatment of Celiac Disease
 
If enrolled, you will be given the drug or a placebo and asked to:
  • Come to up to 6 study visits
  • Have multiple blood draws, endoscopy with biopsy and brushings, and provide stool samples
  • Answer some questions regarding your health
WHERE: University of Chicago Medical Center

 
Subjects will be reimbursed up to $160.00 if all visits are completed and will receive parking vouchers. If you are interested, please contact:
 
Meaghan Peterson at 773-702-9743 or
Open Original Shared Link
 
 
Visit us today at Open Original Shared Link.

There's no way I could participate.  I can not afford to be sick for months.  Besides that (per my doctor), I'm the Queen of Allergies.  This stuff would probably kill me.  But, it might be a good for the OP since he/she has no symptoms when consuming gluten.  It is for a good cause and U of Chicago has an excellent reputation.  I bet you could do it even if you do not live near Chicago!

I accidentally glutened myself a few months after going gluten free (a cranberry juice got me) and I had the worst heartburn ever that night and the heartburn didn't go away for a few weeks even though I had only a few sips before I thought to check the brand on-line.

I don't remember.  I think it was "Simply Cranberry" but I can't say for sure.  It was one of the juices they keep in the refrigerator at work, not something I bought myself.  Right now we have Very Fine juices which I believe are all gluten-free.  When I looked on-line there was a chart with all the juices and most were gluten free but the cranberry juice said it was not.

I looked them up and they do not contain gluten in any flavor.  Sometimes it can be other things - acid in the juice, for instance.  some days I am fine with fresh tomatoes and lemonade, etc and some days, I get heartburn.  And once I get it, it takes a few days or a week to get back to eating them again.  Probably some sort of imbalance in my stomach acid and the foods I ate with it....Not sure why.

That's good news!  I guess that means my response to the original question isn't valid though.  I remember when I read the label the ingredients seemed okay, but then I googled it and there was a chart with the juices that contain gluten and the juices that do not.  Thanks!  But I think I will still stick with water!  :)

Celiac disease can be silent and not cause any symptoms....but, rest assured, your gut is still being damaged. If you have celiac, you are doing yourself a great disservice "cheating".

      Working in a kitchen with gluten?

      Hi yes! I was diagnosed 10 years ago through a biopsy. I’ve been gluten free ever since but no one I’m around is gluten free. I sometimes wore a surgical mask in the kitchen. but I believe particles were still getting through. I’ll definitely look into n95 instead. thanks for the reply.

      Ya I used to react to iodine, but it doesn't bother me anymore after strict adherence to a gluten-free diet for many years now. I am happy to report that for the first time ever in my life, a probiotic formula is not making me break out, but actually seems to be helping.

      @Whyz, I take a combination of Thiamin (Benfotiamin), B12 Cobalamine and Pyridoxine B6 for my pain and headaches. Really works well without hurting the digestive tract. Riboflavin B2 also helps with migraines. Most newly diagnosed people have vitamin and mineral deficiencies. Check with your doctor and nutritionist. If you follow the updated...

      Advantages vs. Disadvantages of having an official Celiac diagnosis

      I don't believe that existing life insurance policies require such notifications--health checks are typically done before such policies are obtained. I believe it would primarily affect any new policy you get, and perhaps any policy renewal.

      @Whyz, I take a combination of Thiamin (Benfotiamin), B12 Cobalamine and Pyridoxine B6 for my pain and headaches.  Really works well without hurting the digestive tract.  Riboflavin B2 also helps with migraines.  Most newly diagnosed people have vitamin and mineral deficiencies.  Check with your doctor and nutritionist.   If you follow the updated gluten challenge guidelines, you can wait until two weeks (minimum) before your appointment, then eat lots of gluten, like six slices of gluten containing bread or "name your poison".   Here's the Updated Gluten Challenge Guidelines: Recommended intake of gluten should be increased to 10 grams of gluten per day for at least two weeks. Or longer. While three grams of gluten will begin the immune response, ten grams of gluten is needed to get antibody levels up to where they can be measured in antibody tests and changes can be seen in the small intestine.   Keep in mind that there are different amounts of gluten in different kinds of bread and gluten containing foods.  Pizza crust and breads that are thick and chewy contain more gluten than things like cake and cookies.   References: https://www.beyondceliac.org/celiac-disease/the-gluten-challenge/ And... Evaluating Responses to Gluten Challenge: A Randomized, Double-Blind, 2-Dose Gluten Challenge Trial https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7878429/?report=reader  "In our study, limited changes in Vh:celiac disease (villi height vs crypt depth - aka damage to the small intestine)  following 14-day challenge with 3 g of gluten were observed, in accordance with Sarna et al.  While the 3 g dose was sufficient to initiate an immune response, as detected by several biomarkers such as IL-2, the 10 g dose was required for enteropathy within the study time frame. Based on our data, we would suggest that gluten challenge should be conducted over longer durations and/or using doses of gluten of ≥ 3 g/day to ensure sufficient histological change can be induced." Keep us posted on your progress!

If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet, it is further evidence of celiac disease and/or non-celiac gluten sensitivity.  Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.
