Hi there, My name is Tania and I am 35 yrs. old I recently have been diagnosed with Celiac. It has been a hard start however, I am learning and educating myself w/ (books, Dr., internet, friends, family etc..) one question still remains unanswered? Does anyone know if you can ever eat wheat/gluten ever again. I have been told yes and no? I can't see myself eating and feeling like I have in the past... now that I'm feeling much better each day.

Welcome,

This simple answer to your questions is...if you want to remain healthy for the rest of your life, gluten cannot be a part of your life.

On the bright side, there are so many wonderful alternatives to wheat/gluten available now.

I am glad that you found this site. It's full of very knowledgeable people, current product information, research information and some really wonderful recipes.

Celiac disease is a life-long condition. You do not ever grow out of it, but by remaining gluten free you keep it in remission. Eating gluten (wheat or another source) will restart the active phase of the disease where the body attacks itself.

You will find many answers here. Welcome aboard.

No, you can never eat gluten again. This is a life long way of eating.

No, you can't ever eat gluten again. Some people do start eating it after healing and go through a period where they don't have symptoms, but they are still doing damage. These people tend to get very, very sick again at some point in the future. If you want to be healthy, you cannot eat gluten again.

I'd like to add, be very, very careful of anyone who's told you you CAN start eating it again someday. They are people to be very suspicious of, especially if they're a doctor. If my doctor said that to me I would promptly find another one. Glad you found the board, ask whatever questions you like!

Thank you... Yes I will definitely be aware of anyone telling me that celiac disease will go away on its own. I appreciate all your feed back and I am very excited I have this site to share and learn from everyone else.

      Thank you Scott - I can’t think of much that’s changed diet wise but I’ll definitely try to see if any of this works and probiotics are a great idea thank you!

      4 Years and very little progress

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hello there @maylynn  I'm a slow healer from the UK.  I sympathise.  Despite three endoscopies which showed nothing wrong, I frequently suffered from a very sore stomach, bloating, feeling queasy.   For some time I was taking the wrong iron supplement (Floradix instead of Floravital - the former has gluten in it, but the latter none).  But I would say even very little iron from an approved source made my stomach sore, I think it can be quite irritating. Perhaps that is an issue for you? Oats (the gluten-free pure ones) were an issue for many years (now fine).   Even though my endoscopy findings did not reflect any problems with healing, or any other issues, I self-diagnosed...

      High IGA antigliadin, everything else normal, what does this mean?

      Yes, it would make sense to go mostly gluten free, since it gives your troubles.

      Yes, I made an effort to eat extra gluten at least 3 weeks before the endoscopy. I probably ate a some amount in the weeks before that. I had diarrhea, which resolved once I cut back after the endoscopy. So I think it would make sense to go mostly gluten free?

      Yay for the normal biopsy! Thanks for the follow up. Were you eating gluten prior to the endoscopy?
