As far as I know, until your gut is healed, you don't know. The best thing to do is continue to eat a strict, gluten-free diet. Also, anything that causes you discomfort, stay away from. For example, many celiacs become intolerant to lactose, soy, eggs, nuts, and other allergens. I am one such person. Although I can eat eggs and nuts, I have difficulty digesting them. Soy causes burning in my throat. Likewise lactose, but I am beginning to tolerate small doses of lactose, such as found in yogurt.

The thing is to find out what works for you. Depending on your age and severity of damage, it can take as long as 1-2 years to heal.

Good luck! Everyone here understands how difficult this is. Keep your head up!

      I am 70 years old but very active. Yes, that is the GI Reset and didn't see any issue from using it the first two weeks. I realized the Aleve may not be gluten free and I have reacted to those pills. I am taking AlgaeCal - Natural Algae Calcium Supplements To Increase Bone Density.  It is the swelling of the throat and blisters on the back of the tongue which worries me. I have not seen anyone report these symptoms. Thank you   Blake

      Hello, I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's thyroiditis about 3 years ago. At that time I quit gluten and it really helped my symptoms. I hadn't known that I should've tested for celiac before doing so.  Up till recently, gluten would cause my symptoms to flare up, although I never noticed anything with cross contamination, so I wasn't strict about that. But recently, I noticed I could get away with more gluten, and so I decided to do a gluten challenge to see if I had celiac and if I had to be strict. Note that my thyroid antibodies had been decreasing steadily up to this point. My anti-TPO had reached 50 IU/ml from 250 IU/ml (reference range 0-5.6) when I had first been diagnosed. After just a week of the gluten challenge, I measured my thyroid antibodies and they were at 799 IU/ml! I felt fine, but a few days after I started to feel the symptoms. Extreme brain fog, insomnia, diarheaa, fatigue, sleepiness yet cannot sleep, stomachache after eating gluten, nausea, swollen throat (probably due to my thyroid), burping, and gas. I cannot function properly. I'm also worried that I'm killing my thyroid. Should I just quit the challenge? It's been almost two weeks, but the first week I wasn't tracking well, so that's why I didn't want to count it. I can't eat gluten anyway because of my thyroid, but I wanted the diagnosis to know if I should be strict about cross contamination or not.

      You really saved me as I was on day 4 of 3 g per day for 6 weeks. Thank you very much!

      Two weeks is the minimum according to the guideline. I would go for four weeks if you can endure it, just to make sure.

      Thank you so much! So I can do 10 g worth of gluten in the form of gluten powder per day for two weeks and that should be enough?
