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.

      As far as I know and I have made severalonline searches, celiac disease disease has not been recognized as a cause of migraines or any eye problems. What I wrote must have been confusing.

      There is much helpful 'truth' posted on this forum. Truths about Celiac Disease are based on scientific research and people's experience. Celiac disease is inherited. There are 2 main Celiac 'genes' but they are variations of one gene called HLa - DQ What is inherited when a person inherits one or both of the DQ2 or the DQ8 is a predisposition to develop celiac disease after exposure to a environmental trigger. These 2 versions of the DQ gene are useful in diagnosing  celiac disease but there are about 25 other genes that are known to influence celiac disease so this food intolerance is a multigenic autoimmune disease. So with so many genes involved and each person inheriting a different array of these other genes one person's symptoms may be different than another's symptoms.  so many of these other genes.  I don't think that much research on these other genes as yet. So first I wrote something that seem to tie together celiac disease and migraines.  Then you posted that you had migraines and since you went gluten free they only come back when you are glutened. Then Scott showed an article that reported no connection between migraines and celiac disease, Then Trents wrote that it was possible that celiacs had more migraines  and some believed there was a causal effect. You are each telling the truth as you know it or experienced it.

      Aldi Pueblo Lindo Yellow Corn Tortillas

      By tiffanygosci · Posted

      Another annoying thing about trying to figure this Celiac life out is reading all of the labels and considering every choice. I shop at Aldi every week and have been for years. I was just officially diagnosed Celiac a couple weeks ago this October after my endoscopy. I've been encouraged by my local Aldi in that they have a lot of gluten free products and clearly labeled foods. I usually buy Milagro corn tortillas because they are cheap and are certified. However, I bought a package of Aldi's Pueblo Lindo Yellow Corn Tortillas without looking too closely (I was assuming they were fine... assuming never gets us anywhere good lol) it doesn't list any wheat products and doesn't say it was processed in a facility with wheat. It has a label that it's lactose free (hello, what?? When has dairy ever been in a tortilla?) Just, ugh. If they can add that label then why can't they just say something is gluten free or not? I did eat some of the tortillas and didn't notice any symptoms but I'm just not sure if it's safe. So I'll probably have to let my family eat them and stick with Milagro. There is way too much uncertainty with this but I guess you just have to stick with the clearly labeled products? I am still learning!

I will look into it more as I plan my little dinner to bring with on the Holiday I'm also glad a lot of research has been done for Celiac. There's still a lot to learn and discover. And everyone has different symptoms. For me, I get a bad headache right away after eating gluten. Reoccurring migraines and visual disturbances were actually what got my PCP to order a Celiac Panel. I'm glad he did! I feel like when the inflammation hits my body it targets my head, gut, and lower back. I'm still figuring things out but that's what I've noticed after eating gluten! I have been eating gluten-free for almost two months now and haven't had such severe symptoms. I ate a couple accidents along the way but I'm doing a lot better

"Researchers comparing rates of headaches, including migraines, among celiac patients and a healthy control group showed that celiac subjects experienced higher rates of headaches than control subjects, with the greatest rates of migraines found in celiac women.  Additionally, celiacs had higher rates of migraine than control subjects, especially in women. In fact, four out of five women with celiac disease suffered from migraines, and without aura nearly three-quarters of the time."
