I Have Been Eating Gluten For Over A Month

My aunt made me gluten free muffins and cookies....isn't she sweet! I have been eating them every day since just before Thanksgiving. To make a long story short....the food was not gluten free....more like gluten packed!!!!!

The strange part about this whole thing is....over the past 3 weeks I have been feeling great! A few months after I started the gluten free diet I started having so many problems, and they just got worse as time when on. Then all the sudden I feel awsome again! What the hell dose this mean?

did you get a confirmed diagnosis of celiac from your doctor? if you truly have celiac, you're still harming yourself by ingesting gluten, regardless of how you feel.

Yes, my Dr. has confirmed my Celiac and I have been on the diet 10 months. I know all the bad stuff gluten can do, and I will continue to be gluten free. I'm not asking if anyone thinks it's okay to eat gluten if you have Celiac Disease. I'm saying for the past 9 months I have felt horrible, and after eating gluten every day for weeks I am Feeling great again. My question is...why do I feel wonderful off the diet and horrible on it?

I will wildly speculate that your gluten free diet is missing or is deficient in nutrients that is in your gluten filled diet. In my case, I was not getting enough fiber once I eliminated all those whole grain items in my diet. I've also heard something about being addicted to gluten but don't know too much about that.
