Do any of you sometimes allow yourself to have something with gluten in it if you've been craving it for so long, and just deal with feeling sick afterword?

Never. I don't think that I could intentionally eat something knowing it was going to make me sick. Also, my DH breaks out horribly for about 2 weeks after a gluten accident and there is no way I would make myself that miserable on purpose.

In a word, NO!!!!!! I wasted the first 36 years of my life because of this disease. No gluten touches my lips for any reason whatsoever. If I have to offend someone to protect my health that person will no longer be a part of my life.

No, besides the fact the I never want to feel how I did before, this would cause damage to your intestine and that can take a while to heal. The other problems that you can get from continuing to eat gluten, even once in a while, is not worth the pizza or donut.

I got sick the other day, not because of gluten but because I didn't eat enough, and I threw up a couple times. It brought me back to the horrible days when I was sick all the time and I was thinking that I'm so glad that I know what it was the made me that way and now I've been so much better that I never want to go back.

I do not eat gluten knowingly.

I will eat some dairy things knowing that later I might have a stomach ach. It is just different with gluten, though.

There is no way I would intentionally eat gluten ever. I know what it is like to be sick like I was and will not go through that if I have any control over it.

I've been tempted, walking down the grocery store isle - the cherry pop tarts call to me. :D

But then I think about all that gluten ripping and shredding it's way through my small intestine and pop tarts lose their appeal. Besides, why bother! That's the great thing about the gluten free diet - there's no forbidden foods, just forbidden ingredients. Now all I need to do is convince Glutino to make gluten-free pop tarts. :wub:

Never. If cross contamination can make me so ill, I shudder to think what a piece of bread. or pie, or whatever would do to me! And, if it did nothing, I shudder to think what THAT would do to my psyche! No, I've finally forgotten what "bread" tastes like, and actually raved :) over my gluten-free Irish Soda Bread tonight!

no never... I have convinced my brain that gluten is poison, so I would never ever intentionally ingest anything poisonous into my body. Not even tempted at all. Though I do wish that Krispy Kreme made a gluten free donut!

No way!

Why on Earth would I want to?

After I was first diagnosed, I strayed a few times, but I quickly learned that it was a bad idea. I have accidently ingested gluten a few times since, but have not knowingly touched anything with gluten since October 2000 (a beer, soon regretted).

Wouldn't think of it. I wish I were as firm about eating properly to lose weight as I am about not eating gluten...I would look like a million bucks!!!!! My mom has had tummy troubles or as she puts it bowel problems for so long. She just won't begin to think it might be a gluten problem and at the age of 87 we can't convince her otherwise. I would like to think I may be avoiding those problems by eating gluten-free and I am the gene carrier. It really isn't that bad anyway....

Not for me! The few times that I've slipped-up and felt so awful are enough to answer the question. The pain and suffering far out-weigh any possible enjoyment from a donut, etc.

      Son's legs shaking

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin. He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her...

      Not necessarily. The "Gluten Free" label means not more than 20ppm of gluten in the product which is often not enough for super sensitive celiacs. You would need to be looking for "Certified Gluten Free" (GFCO endorsed) which means no more than 10ppm of gluten. Having said that, "Gluten Free" doesn't mean that there will necessarily be more gluten than "Certified...

      Disaccharide deficient, confusing biopsy results, no blood test

      I think it is wise to seek a second opinion from a GI doc and to go on a gluten free diet in the meantime. The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you...

      My 5yo was diagnosed with celiac last year by being tested after his sister was diagnosed. We are very strict on the gluten-free diet, but unsure what his reactions are as he was diagnosed without many symptoms other than low ferritin.  He had a school party where his teacher made gluten-free gingerbread men. I almost said no because she made it in her kitchen but I thought it would be ok.  Next day and for a few after his behavior is awful. Hitting, rude, disrespectful. Mainly he kept saying his legs were shaking. Is this a gluten exposure symptom that anyone else gets? Also the bad behavior?

The GI doc may look at all the evidence, including the biopsy report, and conclude you don't need anything else to reach a dx of celiac disease and so, there would be no need for a gluten challenge. But if the GI doc does want to do more testing, you can worry about the gluten challenge at that time. But between now and the time of the appointment, if your symptoms improve on a gluten free diet, that is more evidence. Just keep in mind that if a gluten challenge is called for, the bare minimum challenge length is two weeks of the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten, which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread. But, I would count on giving it four weeks to be sure.

      thank you both for the insights. i agree, im going to back off on dairy and try sucraid. thanks for the tip about protein powder, i will look for whey protein powder/drinks!   i don’t understand why my doctor refused to order it either. so i’ve decided i’m not going to her again, and i’m going to get a second opinion with a GI recommended to me by someone with celiac. unfortunately my first appointment isn’t until February 17th. do you think i should go gluten free now or wait until after i meet with the new doctor? i’m torn about what i should do, i dont know if she is going to want to repeat the endoscopy, and i know ill have to be eating gluten to have a positive biopsy. i could always do the gluten challenge on the other hand if she does want to repeat the biopsy.    thanks again, i appreciate the support here. i’ve learned a lot from these boards. i dont know anyone in real life with celiac.
