Less Inflammation = Fewer Symptoms?

I've had overt celiac symptoms since February 2009. Discovered I had it at the end of July 2009. Tried to go gluten-free August 2009 (but didn't know all foods that had gluten), went totally gluten-free October 2009, and totally casein-free January 2010.

Anyway, I haven't had any celiac symptoms for months now. There were some mistakes, like when I had barbeque sauce which contained modified food starch and caramel color, and I got a nasty headache (but no other symptoms) that cleared up within minutes of taking L-glutamine. But I haven't had anything that I would identify as a celiac reaction for a long time now. I also used to be hungry all the time since going gluten-free, but that's not really a problem now.

For the record, my symptoms are low blood sugar reaction, severe inability to focus or concentrate, nasty headache, liquid D, and weird "squib" noises in my stomach every few seconds that last for a long time.

Anyway, I'm still trying to make my diet healthy. I removed hydrogenated oils from it, after learning of their health effects, and introduced fish oil. This is a very recent change, as in, less than 2 weeks ago.

I'd read in the past about the link between inflammation and autoimmune disorders, as well as inflammation and celiac disease. Celiac is said to cause inflammation, but do the symptoms go down if there's less of it?

Hydrogenated oils cause inflammation. Fish oil reduces inflammation. Removing the first and adding the second should obviously be a big help. (I did it for many health reasons anyway, but this should be an additional benefit)

So, my question to all of you is, is there a chance that my symptoms will be reduced if I succeed in significantly reducing inflammation? Not that I plan to eat gluten again - even if my celiac is cured, the long-term health effects even on non-celiacs are simply not worth it. But still, do you think that if I continue this healthy diet of fish oil minus hydrogenated oil, and take care of myself, and get my inflammation reduced, that my symptoms will be much lesser should I accidentally come into contact with small amounts of gluten?

Plus, a study did show that the risk of early death was higher for those with inflammation than those without, so I wonder if that, to some extent, may be part of the key to our wellbeing.

      This treatment looks promising. Its aim is to provoke immune tolerance of gluten, possibly curing the disease. It passed the phase 2 trial with flying colours, and I came across a post on Reddit by one of the study volunteers. Apparently, the results were good enough that the company is applying for fast track approval.  Anokion Announces Positive Symptom Data from its Phase 2 Trial Evaluating KAN-101 for the Treatment of Celiac Disease https://www.reddit.com/r/Celiac/comments/1krx2wh/kan_101_trial_put_on_hold/

      Hi everyone  This has been a crazy year so far... How many people actually get entire sensory overload from gluten or something similar ?  My jaw is going nuts ..and that nerve is affecting my upper back and so on ...  Bones even hurt.  Brain fog. Etc  I had eggs seemed fine.   Then my aid cooked a chicken stir fry in the microwave because my food order shorted a couple key items .   I was so hungry but I noticed light breading and some ingredients with SOY !!! Why are we suffering with soy ? This triggered a sensitivity to bananas and gluten-free yogurt it seems like it's a cycle that it goes on.  The tiniest amount of something gets me I'm guessing the tiny bit of breading that I took one tiny nibble of ...yikes ..im cringing from it .. Feels like my stomach is going to explode yet still very hungry 😔  How long does this last?! Thank you so much

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.
