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".

      My only proof

      By Mari · Posted

      I think, after reading this, that you areso traumatized by not being able yo understand what your medical advisors have been  what medical conditions are that you would like to find a group of people who also feel traumatized who would agree with you and also support you. You are on a crusade much as the way the US Cabinet  official, the Health Director of our nation is in trying to change what he considers outdated and incorrect health advisories. He does not have the education, background or experience to be in the position he occupies and is not making beneficial decisions. That man suffered a terrible trauma early in his life when his father was assonated. We see now how he developed and worked himself into a powerful position.  Unless you are willing to take some advice or  are willing to use a few of the known methods of starting on a path to better health then not many of us on this Celiac Forum will be able to join you in a continuing series of complaints about medical advisors.    I am almost 90 years old. I am strictly gluten free. I use 2 herbs to help me stay as clear minded as possible. You are not wrong in complaining about medical practitioners. You might be more effective with a clearer mind, less anger and a more comfortable life if you would just try some of the suggestions offered by our fellow celiac volunteers.

      Thus has got to STOP , medical bit believing us! I literally went through 31 years thinking it was just a food allergy as its downplayed by medical if THEY weren't the ones who diagnosed us! Im positive for HLA-DQ2 which is first celiac patient per Iran and Turkey. Here in the States especially in Cali its why do you feel that way? Why do you think your celiac? Your not eating gluten so its something else.Medical caused me depression. I thought I was safe with my former pcp for 25 years considering i thought everything I went through and going through will be available when I get fired again for health. Health not write-ups my health always come back when you're better.Im not and being tossed away at no fault to my own other than shitty genes.I was denied disability because person said he didn't know how to classify me! I said Im celiac, i have ibs, hernia, sciatica, high blood pressure, in constant pain have skin and eye issues and menopause intensified everything. With that my celiac nightmare began to reprove my disregarded disease to a bunch of clowns who think they are my careteam when they said I didn't have...I feel Im still breathing so I can fight this so no body else has to deal with this nightmare. Starting over with " new care team" and waisting more time on why I think I am when diagnosed in 1994 before food eliminated from my diet. P.s everything i went through I did write to medical board, so pretty sure I will continue to have a hard time.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      Are Lindt chocolate balls gluten free?

      By RUKen · Posted

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.
