How Far Back Does Gluten Exposure Set Them?

I know I'm early in the game here but I keep getting my daughter exposed to gluten! She was very upset about not being able to have some cake and I got her something else at a friends house. Half way through the chips, I realized they had wheat in them. I hadn't even read the label!! :blink: I was so upset with myself and felt so dumb and frustrated. Then she had bad D within 10 min. Not sure if she would have had it anyway or not.

Is any exposure like going back to the beginning and starting all over again?

How long did it take you to feel like you could really do this and keep them safe from gluten? (Will I ever feel that way?)

Thanks...... :)

How far it sets you back depends on dose and sensitivity, but it shouldn't be like starting over. After about 7 months I kind of got the hang of it with my son. Once he did a gluten challenge for 3 days and that set him back a month or two, but a few chips shouldn't be too bad. It takes a long time to figure out all those unexpected gluten sources. Don't beat yourself up over it.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system

      Scott Adams. I was dealing with a DR that didn't care about me being celiac. I repeatedly told him that I was celiac and is everything gluten-free. He put an acrylic lens from j&j. I called the company to ask about gluten and was told yes that the acrylic they use has gluten....then they back tracked immediately and stopped talking to me. The Dr didn't care that I was having issues. It took me 6 months and a lot of sickness to get it removed.... which can only happen within 6 months. The Dr that took it out said that it was fused and that's why I lost vision. If they would have removed it right away everything would be fine. He put in a silicone one that was gluten-free and I've had no issues at all in the other eye. Do not do acrylic!

      Welcome @Martha Mitchell, I too would like to know more about your prior lenses, and especially about the potential of gluten in lenses. In theory this should not harm most celiacs, as the autoimmune reaction normally begins in the gut, however, in those who are super sensitive or have dermatitis herpetiformis it may be a potential issue.
