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!
