Cross contamination

[normagain]

Endoscopy shown flattened mucosa consistent with celiac. One problem that celiac seems to hit me with is inflamed intestines with lots of bloating, but I have never really gotten sick to my stomach. Maybe a little nauseous from time to time. I have read that many suffer from minor cross contamination my brother for example is celiac and does not really get sick from cross-contamination. But my question is how does cross contamination affect the intestines? Would it set my progress back even if I don’t get sick? Thanks

Cross-contamination with gluten can still cause damage to the intestines even if you don't feel immediate symptoms. For those with celiac disease, any exposure to gluten can trigger an immune response that leads to inflammation and damage to the intestinal lining, which can hinder your progress and overall health. It's crucial to maintain strict gluten-free practices to prevent long-term complications and support intestinal healing, even if you don't experience obvious symptoms.
