Does Celiac Go Away?

This morning my mom was looking through my flours and mixes to see what all I needed at the store and came across some of my apple spice cake mix. My dad orders me things online and it said gluten-free apple spice cake mix. So I have gone through like two packages of this mix and have been fine. But my mom this morning was looking at it and it said whole grain. On the back it had all of this wheat and high gluten ingredients. And this was out of the same box and all it wasnt just one thing. So I was wondering why I havent gotten sick? Does celiac go away. I mean like three months ago I was accendently glutened and felt sick, but I have been eating this apple spice cake mix for a while now and havent gotten sick. So I am a very confused person. Out of the 5 years diagnosed I have never been able to eat gluten and not get sick. Please help!

Everyone is different, but my thought is that you reaction time will begin to vary. At times, I have felt a reaction up to 24 hours later.

Now, after three plus years gluten free, I have healed to the point that I do not reaction to gluten on a one time only basis. (possible cross contamination only). I have described it as a car rolling down the hill, slowly getting closer to the cliff, but yet no damage....eventually the car crashed over the cliff and gets all banged up. A silly little story, but it makes sense to me. ;)

Ooops, and no it does not go away.

Nope, I don't think it goes away.

You could probably heal to the point where you wouldn't notice a drastic reaction from a chance encounter, but the problem with this type of thinking is it leads to cheating once, then again and a generally over relaxed attitude about gluten, which can lead you right back to being as sick as you once were.

I would never conciously eat gluten in the rest of my life.

      4.5 years into diagnosis, eating gluten-free and still struggling: would love support, tips, & stories

      It sounds like you have an allergy or separate intolerance to quinoa, but there is the slight possibility it was somehow cross-contaminated with wheat, even though it was certified gluten-free.

      Celiac flare years after diagnosis

      Unless gluten exposure is happening on a regular basis, it is doubtful that blood antibodies would show up elevated in testing. It takes time for them to build up to detectable levels.

      Celiac flare years after diagnosis

      HI Nancy, In your first post, you said that you were diagnosed by biopsy and blood test - this is what I was referring to: the blood test is for antibodies that are made during active disease. After a period on a strictly gluten-free diet, the antibodies return to low level. It is a good way of checking for accidental exposure if symptoms persist. If...

      I'm not saying this is what you have, but your description reminds me of Morgellons, which are not very well understood. Here is a review from a reputable source. If it seems similar to your experience, you could raise this question with your Dr. https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/morgellons-disease

After a period on a strictly gluten-free diet, the antibodies return to low level. It is a good way of checking for accidental exposure if symptoms persist. If you are reacting to foods that don't contain gluten, you may be reacting to something else. Alternatively, a condition called SIBO is common in people with coeliac disease, where there is an overgrowth of bacteria in the small intestine. This can be tested for with a simple breath test. The main treatment is with a course of antibiotic. Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO)

      Hi Trent, no dairy. Other than good quality butter. I have been lactose free for years. No corn, sugar, even seasonings and spices. I don't eat out. I cook my own food.
