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".

      Hi, I bought Naked Nutrition Creatine. It lists itself as gluten free but is not certified. (It used to be, but they dropped it in the past year or two apparently.) I wrote the company and asked them what testing results they had for creatine and they sent me the attached, which says the test result for gluten is <0.025MCG. I'm used to seeing...

      When I was still recovering my gastroenterologist suggested I bought lactofree product as I was very bloated. So I bought some from the supermarket and from memory, I drank a nice big glass of milk - and it went right through me literally within an hour or so, if my memory serves correctly. I came off dairy completely next and it worked like a charm...

      @cristiana,  I react the same way.  Dairy consumption flushes out my digestive system within an hour, too! As casein is digested, it forms casomorphins that bind to opioid receptors in our bodies.  This is similar to digested gluten peptides being able to attach to opioid receptors in our bodies.   We have opioid receptors throughout our bodies including lots in the digestive tract. Casein raises tTg IgA antibodies just like gluten consumption does, which leads to further intestinal damage and continuing inflammation.  No wonder our bodies react to it by pushing the "emergency evacuation" ejection seat button! The mother of my childhood friend was British and introduced me to drinking tea properly with milk or cream.  I miss it so much.  And chocolate ice cream.  Not worth the after effects, though.  I've found taking Omega Three supplements (flaxseed oil, sunflower seed oil, evening primrose oil) helps shake those dairy cravings.   Green leafy veggies like broccoli, kale, and greens (mustard, turnip, collards) are great sources of calcium.  Avoid spinach as it is high in oxalates that block calcium absorption and may cause kidney stones.  Yes, more leafy greens are needed to reach the same amount of calcium in a glass of milk, but the greens have other benefits, like increased dietary fiber and polyphenols that act as antioxidants, reduce inflammation, and promote health.   Exposure to gluten (and casein in those sensitive to it) can cause an increased immune response and inflammation for months afterwards.  The immune cells that make tTg IgA antibodies which are triggered today are going to live for about two years. During that time, inflammation is heightened.  Those immune cells only replicate when triggered.  If those immune cells don't get triggered again for about two years, they die without leaving any descendents programmed to trigger on gluten and casein.  The immune system forgets gluten and casein need to be attacked.  The Celiac genes turn off.  This is remission.   Some people in remission report being able to consume gluten again without consequence.  Another triggering event can turn the Celiac genes on again.   Celiac genes are turned on by a triggering event (physical or emotional stress).  There's some evidence that thiamine insufficiency contributes to the turning on of autoimmune genes.  There is an increased biological need for thiamine when we are physically or emotionally stressed.  Thiamine cannot be stored for more than twenty-one days and may be depleted in as little as three during physical and emotional stresses. Mitochondria without sufficient thiamine become damaged and don't function properly.  This gets relayed to the genes and autoimmune disease genes turn on.  Thiamine and other B vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients are needed to replace the dysfunctional mitochondria and repair the damage to the body.

I wrote the company and asked them what testing results they had for creatine and they sent me the attached, which says the test result for gluten is <0.025MCG. I'm used to seeing test results as ppm, so I'm not sure what <0.025MCG means. Can it be converted to ppm easily? I want to confirm that it is safe to use.

To this day, if I overdo dairy products, they work like a mild laxative.  I've never wanted to give up milk completely as I like it so much, and my mum had osteoporosis and it's an easy way of getting calcium.  But it doesn't really 'sit' well with me.   You may need to experiment a bit as when I was healing certain dairy products were worse than others - I could cope with one brand of Greek yoghurt, but I got extremely and painfully bloated with another brand of live British yoghurt.

      i have been strictly gluten free for 7 months. this includes avoiding anything that may contain gluten and making sure surfaces and appliances are clean. i am 18 years old in australia and my tTG-IgA results were 69U/mL, pretty low compared to most people's, for reference. i feel the exact same as before. sure, i was pretty much asymptomatic/silent. the worst i'd get was occasionally bad stools and pitting of the nails/brittle hair since early childhood - and i was diagnosed with low iron and vitamin d which checks out due to easy bruising and such. but those symptoms have remained. maybe i'm jumping the gun, sure. i know it can take years to fully heal. but being over half a year in, i feel that i should be, y'know, healing. i'm nearly at my wits end and wondering if i should have a piece of bread or something to see how i go - to see if i possibly have refractory? my mental health is declining as i feel myself wanting to bang my head against a damn wall out of frustration every day. cravings haven't gotten better. look, i love the stuff i still can have, like salads and such. OH! i haven't lost any weight, which is mind boggling considering i eat very healthily now! i've always been on the chubbier side which is atypical of coeliac. i just don't know what's going on with me. i try to remain hopeful but i'm just so sad all the time. thanks for reading

      @Charlie1946There is a PM (Personal Message) tool built into the forum website that allows you to send a private message to other forum users. Just hover over their name with your mouse cursor and the menu containing that tool will pop up. This is useful if you want to communicate with an individual without everyone else involved in the thread seeing it.  Are you realizing that in my PPI taper down recommendations in an earlier post above, I was responding not to your posts but to @Caligirl57? If you must use a PPI, I certainly would advise taking the lowest dose that is effective for you.
