Has Anyone Found That They Can Tolerate Gluten Again?

I have been reading about Leaky Gut syndrome and how it can be implicated in Celiac. Has anyone found that after some time has elapsed and their gut has had a chance to heal, they can then tolerate some Gluten and/or Dairy?

If you have Leaky Gut, and NOT celiac, you may be able to tolerate gluten again. There are a few members on this board who that has happened for.

But, if you have Celiac, you must NEVER EVER eat gluten again! It's just that simple!

The only issues is that you want to make sure that you have leaky gut, not Celiac if you're going to eat gluten later down the road. Celiac must be 100% ruled out (I don't even know if that's possible?!)

I was completely gluten intolerant, but did not have celiac disease. Now that my leaky gut and other health issues are resolved, I can eat gluten again with no problems. Before I was sensitive to the smallest amount of contamination. So, yes, it is possible.

However, NOT FOR A CELIAC!!! Sorry .....

If you have Celiac you will never ever be able to tolerate gluten. A Celiac's tolerance to dairy depends on each person. I tolerate dairy without any trouble. Some people have to temporarily take the dairy out of their diet when they go gluten free but are able to add it later as the intestines heal. Others have lactose or casien intolerances restricting or eliminating dairy from their diets permanently.

I have to agree if you are celiac gluten is always going to be a poison to you. There are times when folks are diagnosed and have healed and they may seem to be able to tolerate it again for a while. This is one of the reasons they used to think children grew out of celiac. I think it is called a 'honeymoon' period. It can take time for the antibody effects to make themselves known and a lot of damage can be done before we realize what is going on. Also the antibodies can choose to attack tissues other than just the gut so in some there could be serious neurological, glandular and joint damage before they think that celiac has come back. If you are celiac there is no going back to gluten.

If you are celiac, you cannot ever have gluten. Gliadin, horedin, and secalin have sections in them recognized by the immune system in the intestines which cause the creation of other molecules that attack the intestines (the autoimmune reaction). That's just how celiacs are chemically 'wired', thanks to genetics that codes up our immune system. Nothing will change that. (Nothing short of genetic therapy.)

      Other symptoms that Celiac Disease can cause but resemble other diseases so the cause may be misdiagnosed. What Are the Symptoms of Celiac Disease?

      Hernia symptoms after gluten exposure

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi there @MCAyr I have a small umbilical hernia which came about during my second pregnancy.   I can just about see it, and feel it, when I stand or sit, but it is far less noticeable when I lie down.  I always know when I am putting on weight because I can get pain and burning near the site, funnily enough not on the hernia itself but either side!  I would imagine bloating could cause the same effect as weight gain. In my case I don't think it is my bowel protruding but a bit of fat  - sorry,  I realise this isn't painting a very pretty picture.  But in truth it is scarcely noticeable.  It has never really got bigger in size. I was rather hoping that it could be operated on but here in the UK they don't seem to operate on every hernia anymore.  My GP isn't remotely worried about it. In a way, I should be thankful - it is like an early warning system that I need to go on a diet! Cristiana

      The hernia description would likely be unrelated to celiac disease, but you'd need to get it checked out by your doctor to be sure it's a hernia.
