jknnej 1 Posted January 11, 2005 Report This Post (To report rule violations to admin) Share Posted January 11, 2005 Hi all, Question: I am the type that when I eat wheat I don't get as violently ill as other people here. Once in a while I will and I definitely get bad stomach aches, sometimes diarrhea, but I don't vomit or anything like that. So, my question is: the longer you stay on the gluten free diet, do your symptoms get worse if you ingest wheat? If I stay on the diet stricly but accidentally ingest wheat, say from a restaurant a year from now, will I get violently ill or just ill like I did before? I'm not sure if this is a dumb question or not but I'm just wondering!From what I've read on the board there are all types of us: the very sick, the mildly sick, the barely noticed symptoms but were still diagnosed sick. What do you think? Jennifer Link to post Share on other sites
MySuicidalTurtle 3 Posted January 11, 2005 Report This Post (To report rule violations to admin) Share Posted January 11, 2005 My symptoms are a lot worse after being glutenfree for almost twoyears. Remember, just because you don't have symptoms or strong ones doesn't mean the damage isn't being done. Link to post Share on other sites
kvogt 1 Posted January 11, 2005 Report This Post (To report rule violations to admin) Share Posted January 11, 2005 I also have mild reactions. When I first started the diet, my reactions were far worse than my prediagnosis symptoms. Over time, my reactions became less when accidentally poisoned. I'm at 2 years and believe I would hardly notice the first poisoning, but would probably react to the second if it occurred within a week. I have to work hard at being dilligent, but without feedback, it's difficult. Overall, I would say I am lucky compared to many on this board. Link to post Share on other sites
