I believe it is thought that the occasional glutening from cross-contamination does not raise your risk for cancer and other complications of celiac disease the way eating gluten regularly does. I'm fairly new to this so I hope someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

There is no particular amount of gluten that is known to be safe, so you need to be as careful as you can. But I think everyone with celiac disease gets glutened from time to time.

Since you have most likely not completely healed from the damage to your small intestine and were being glutened you have picked up more harmful agents - organisms and polutants/toxins - than a normal person. It is best to deal with these before you develop chronic problems. What I would do would be to find a good program which treats parasites and improves the ability of your kidneys and liver to eliminate toxins. Consulting an alternate health professional may help you most, Drs do have some methods but are not as good at this type of thing. There are several programs online and in books - Hulda Clark's and Andre Moritz' are popular and help many people. The Liver Flush Support Forum at Curezone will give you information on what others are doing for your type of problems.

      And the fact is, no two celiacs will necessarily respond the same to gluten exposure. Some are "silent" celiacs and don't experience obvious symptoms. But that doesn't mean no harm is being done to their gut. It just means it is subclinical.

      Thank you, Trents.  I appreciate your helpful and friendly reply. It seems more likely to be a bug.  It has been a pretty severe bought. I feel that I don’t have enough experience to know what signs my little one shows after exposure to gluten.

      Hannah24, be aware that if you are on a gluten free diet, you will invalidate any further testing for celiac disease (except genetics) and would need to go back to eating significant amounts of gluten for weeks or months to qualify for valid testing.

      Hello, @Hannah24 Have you had a DNA test done?  Celiac Disease is genetic.  You must have at least one gene to develop celiac disease.  You don't have to be consuming gluten for a genetic test.   Anemia, diabetes and thiamine deficiency can cause false negatives.  Some lucky people are seronegative, but still have celiac disease.  Peripheral neuropathy, tingling in hands and feet are symptoms of vitamin deficiencies.  Vitamin C, Thiamine B1, Niacin B3, Pyridoxine B6, and Cobalamine B12 can each cause peripheral neuropathy.  These same vitamins are needed to produce blood cells.  Most undiagnosed Celiacs suffer from nutritional deficiencies. The DNA test would be helpful.

      We do hear of cases of remission but they generally eventually revert back. I wouldn't push your luck.
