      The whole point of the gluten-free diet is to send the disease into remission. For some this process means strong reactions when exposed to even trace amounts of gluten, while for others it seems they have little to no reactions when exposed to larger amounts of gluten. In either case, research has shown that repeated gluten exposure will trigger the autoimmune reaction that leads to inflammation and various damage, as well as to possible additional autoimmune diseases.

      Christiana makes a good point. Long term undiagnosed and untreated (by a gluten-free diet) celiac disease inevitibly results in vitamin and mineral deficiencies because of the damage done to the villous lining of the small bowel - the part of the intestines where essentially all nutrition is absorbed. Keep eating plenty of gluten until all testing for celiac disease is complete so as to render valid test results. Beginning a gluten-free diet ahead of time allows healing to take place and compromises testing. But if it turns out you are diagnosed as having celiac disease, you will want to begin high potency vitamin and mineral supplementation along with serious gluten free eating.

      Hi Tibaked If you are diagnosed with coeliac disease, you may find that all sorts of symptoms will be alleviated by a gluten free diet.  GERD and lactose intolerance can be greatly reduced if not eliminated once the gluten-free diet is adopted.  However, if you want to be tested and officially diagnosed you will need to have been consuming gluten until your blood test/endoscopy.   Although I don't have the same sensations you describe before my diagnosis, I frequently woke up with numb arms and numb fingers.  I could feel pins and needles in my extremities.  Weirdest of all, the sensation that drops of cold water, like rain, were falling on me, even though the sun was shining or I was indoors. It took time but things got much better after after following a gluten free diet for a while. Of course,  some neuropathy is caused by malnutrition, common in coeliacs when first diagnosed,  so make sure the doctor checks your vitamin (particularly B12) and iron levels. Cristiana

      Not officially diagnosed yet I goto the doctor a week from today but I'm 110% that will be the diagnosis I honestly can't believe my doctors/health care team hasn't put it together before I mean I'm basically the live and walking definition straight from the book haha I don't think I've ever been so sure on anything before I'm just reqly concerned for this diet I will be living on or diets I guess due to type 1 diabetes, gastroparesis, gerd, celiac disease, and lactose intolerance...what is left? A sand salad with a side of rain water?!? I definitely see a tough future
