Just curious i know in the begginning of the diet they say to steer clear of dairy so you can heal properly but it seems like noone here eats dairy atall.I want to know if theres any celiacs out there that successfully eat dairy without reaction and if so how long did it take to get to that point?? Thank youu

ARCHIVED Elimination Diet - Need Help
Mama Melissa replied to FooGirlsMom's topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
Im 2 months on the diet and the same thing happened to me,personally i think in the begginning since its still the healing stage you are going to react to proccessed gluten free foods.I would say try to stick to natural fruits, vegis, baked potatoes, egss if they go well with you and meats and give yourself some time to heal which could be months depending... -
