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.)

      Fermentation breaks down some of the gluten in wheat. Nowhere enough for a wheat dough to become gluten free, but the gluten may be significantly reduced. I think some pizzerias make the dough the day before and leave it overnight. The longer the microbes are acting on the flour, the better.

      And the fact is, no two celiacs will necessarily respond the same to gluten exposure. Some are "silent" celiacs and don't experience obvious symptoms. But that doesn't mean no harm is being done to their gut. It just means it is subclinical.

      Thank you, Trents.  I appreciate your helpful and friendly reply. It seems more likely to be a bug.  It has been a pretty severe bought. I feel that I don’t have enough experience to know what signs my little one shows after exposure to gluten.

      Hannah24, be aware that if you are on a gluten free diet, you will invalidate any further testing for celiac disease (except genetics) and would need to go back to eating significant amounts of gluten for weeks or months to qualify for valid testing.
