If you won't eat gluten free, you won't heal your Celiac damage.  It will get worse.  If you really feel this bad, perhaps that will be enough to convince you to eat gluten free?

Unless you go 100% gluten free it will only get worse, lead to complications, and eventually kill you. -_- I did not know about mine for years and ended up with other auto immune disease, multiple allergies, and  food intolerance issues. I thought I was dying when I figured it out and went gluten free. You can not cheat on this diet as the antibodies will spike for weeks to a month. Symptoms from a gluten exposure can take days, weeks, and months to go away. In the case of nerve damage (mine started effecting my brain and nervous system) years before you start seeing improvement.

It is quite hard at first, but once you get it down it becomes second nature. there are many gluten free alternatives now days to make it easier. Now with your severe amount of issues and pain ignoring it. You probably already developed other food intolerance issues, and will probably have a very limited diet for awhile til you heal somewhat.

If you are celiac you HAVE to be gluten free no matter how inconvienent it may seem to you.  Your body is clearly telling you to stop cheating on the gluten free lifestyle. If you need help with identifying where you can improve we are here to help in any way we can. You need to go and read the Newbie 101 thread at the top of the Coping section. It has a lot of valuable info for you. I hope your pain resolves soon but be aware that for some repeat glutenings can lead to the development of other autoimmune problems and for some the pain of each repeat glutening can increase as well.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system

      Scott Adams. I was dealing with a DR that didn't care about me being celiac. I repeatedly told him that I was celiac and is everything gluten-free. He put an acrylic lens from j&j. I called the company to ask about gluten and was told yes that the acrylic they use has gluten....then they back tracked immediately and stopped talking to me. The Dr didn't care that I was having issues. It took me 6 months and a lot of sickness to get it removed.... which can only happen within 6 months. The Dr that took it out said that it was fused and that's why I lost vision. If they would have removed it right away everything would be fine. He put in a silicone one that was gluten-free and I've had no issues at all in the other eye. Do not do acrylic!

      Welcome @Martha Mitchell, I too would like to know more about your prior lenses, and especially about the potential of gluten in lenses. In theory this should not harm most celiacs, as the autoimmune reaction normally begins in the gut, however, in those who are super sensitive or have dermatitis herpetiformis it may be a potential issue.
