Are you diagnosed as a Celiac? If you are, you need to stay 100% gluten free. Even if you didn't feel bad, it is still doing damage if you have Celiac.

If you are positive you only have a gluten intolerance, and NOT celiac...then I guess maybe gluten doesn't bother you as much as you think it does? Be careful though because it takes some people a few days to get really sick.

-Absence of symptoms is not the same thing as absence of reaction. One does not need to feel it for gluten to be doing his/her body harm.

-Celiac symptoms can change over time

-If one goes "Gluten-lite" it can take a while before the immune system reaches its tipping point and causes a reaction that you can feel.

-In some people, the reaction is delayed by days.

There are many EASY gluten-free pizza recipes. Take your favorite sauce and mozzarella and use it to top gluten-free toast. stick it under the broiler for about a minute, and you have pizza! You can also use corn tortillas--doesn't taste exactly like pizza crust, but my gluten-eating kids and their friends scarf it down anyway.

I have posted my pizza crust recipe several times--it should be floating around here somewhere. PM me if you can't find it and I'll send it to you. It's easy, it takes 30 minutes start to finish (hey, that's how long it takes to order out!), and it tastes just like a good Bisquick-type pizza crust (I used to make Bisquick crusts all the time before going off gluten).

no, i haven't been diagnosed as a celiac. i have a gluten allergy and have an appt for an endoscopy in 2 weeks to see if i do. i went off gluten for a month and felt great; stomach and my skin cleared up.

he told me he wants me to eat gluten but when i eat things with gluten i generally get hugely bloated and covered in itchy hives. i had pizza and i didn't. thats why i was so surprised.

This might be misleading--it is possible to be gluten intolerant and not officially celiac simply because the gluten intolerance has not YET destroyed enough villi in the intestine to give an undeniable diagnosis of celiac--YET. By that line of thinking, gluten intolerance may be early-stage celiac. If so, do you really want to keep eating it until you HAVE destroyed the lining of your intestines?

By saying that someone is "only" gluten intolerant and not celiac, you are perpetuating the myth that gluten intolerance is somehow not as destructive, not as dangerous, not as serious--and then people with "only" gluten intolerance and people with celiac, diagnosed or undiagnosed, might not be taken seriously.

      plant sources of calcium, such as spinach, have calcium bound to oxalates, which is not good. best source of calcium is unfortunately dairy, do you tolerate dairy? fermented dairy like kefir is good and or a little hard cheese. i do eat dairy, i can only take so much dietary restriction and gluten is hard enough! but i guess some people do have bad reactions to it, so different for everyone.

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      Great advise there I agree with the aniexty part, and the aura migraine has I suffer both, I've also read some great books that have helped I'm going too look the one you mentioned up too thankyou for that, I find a camomile tea just a small one and a gentle wind down before bed has helped me too, I suffer from restless leg syndrome and nerve pain hence I don't always sleep well at the best of times , racing mind catches up I have decorated my whole house in one night in my mind before 🤣 diet changes mindset really help , although I have to say it never just disappears, I find once I came to terms with who I am I managed a lot better  , a misconception is for many to change , that means to heal but that's not always the case , understanding and finding your coping mechanisms are vital tools , it's more productive to find that because there is no failure then no pressure to become something else , it's ok to be sad it's ok to not sleep , it's ok to worry , just try to see it has a journey not a task 🤗

      I agree there I've tryed this myself to prove I can't eat gluten or lactose and it sets me back for about a month till I have to go back to being very strict to settle again

      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.
