I have Celiac disease - I do  not have " a few days of a lot of Gluten filled foods".   Eating gluten on purpose would be an act of extreme self-hate/self harming.

Right, the gluten-free diet is a medical diet, not a weightloss/fad diet.  If you want to know about glutening symptoms though, you can search  the forum for "glutened" or "cheating".  There are a lto of threads on the subject already.  There are also threads about doing a gluten challenge where people eat gluten in order to be ready for celiac medical testing.  They might have the info you are looking for.

I'm just curious because i'll go 6 months 100 percent gluten free without a cheat and then go on a vacation or whatever and eat tons of gluten and i free exactly the same.   I was diagnosed by two different doctors through intestinal biopsies and genetic testing.   just doesn't make sense i wouldn't notice any difference at all.  I'd love to notice something so it gives more incentive to follow such a restrictive lifestyle

You know....I always cringe when someone uses the term "restrictive" when referencing the gluten-free diet.  I have been doing this for 11 years, without ever cheating on purpose, and have never found it to be restrictive.  It is only restrictive if your mind set is negative with regards to eating gluten free.  I eat such a variety of foods and have been able to make almost everything I used to eat in a great gluten free version, the word "restrictive" does not apply to me. Now, if you want to say it's inconvenient at times, that's a whole different ballgame.

Some people just do not have in your face symptoms. Where you very symptomatic when diagnosed?

Why not just search "lymphoma" within the forum.  Contact other members who were diagnosed with lymphoma from untreated celiac disease.

Since you are consuming gluten, why not participate in a new celiac disease drug study?  This is weird, but I just received this in my inbox today!  

Open Original Shared Link
A Pill to Treat Celiac Disease?
Now enrolling patients to a clinical study! 
 
WHO: you may be eligible for this study if:
  • You are age 18 and older
  • You have celiac disease
  • You have been on a gluten-free diet for at least one year
  • You are willing to eat gluten (bread)
WHAT: testing of Montelukast (a drug that has been approved by the FDA for treatment of asthma) for the treatment of Celiac Disease
 
If enrolled, you will be given the drug or a placebo and asked to:
  • Come to up to 6 study visits
  • Have multiple blood draws, endoscopy with biopsy and brushings, and provide stool samples
  • Answer some questions regarding your health
WHERE: University of Chicago Medical Center

 
Subjects will be reimbursed up to $160.00 if all visits are completed and will receive parking vouchers. If you are interested, please contact:
 
Meaghan Peterson at 773-702-9743 or
Open Original Shared Link
 
 
Visit us today at Open Original Shared Link.

There's no way I could participate.  I can not afford to be sick for months.  Besides that (per my doctor), I'm the Queen of Allergies.  This stuff would probably kill me.  But, it might be a good for the OP since he/she has no symptoms when consuming gluten.  It is for a good cause and U of Chicago has an excellent reputation.  I bet you could do it even if you do not live near Chicago!

I accidentally glutened myself a few months after going gluten free (a cranberry juice got me) and I had the worst heartburn ever that night and the heartburn didn't go away for a few weeks even though I had only a few sips before I thought to check the brand on-line.

I don't remember.  I think it was "Simply Cranberry" but I can't say for sure.  It was one of the juices they keep in the refrigerator at work, not something I bought myself.  Right now we have Very Fine juices which I believe are all gluten-free.  When I looked on-line there was a chart with all the juices and most were gluten free but the cranberry juice said it was not.

I looked them up and they do not contain gluten in any flavor.  Sometimes it can be other things - acid in the juice, for instance.  some days I am fine with fresh tomatoes and lemonade, etc and some days, I get heartburn.  And once I get it, it takes a few days or a week to get back to eating them again.  Probably some sort of imbalance in my stomach acid and the foods I ate with it....Not sure why.

That's good news!  I guess that means my response to the original question isn't valid though.  I remember when I read the label the ingredients seemed okay, but then I googled it and there was a chart with the juices that contain gluten and the juices that do not.  Thanks!  But I think I will still stick with water!  :)

Celiac disease can be silent and not cause any symptoms....but, rest assured, your gut is still being damaged. If you have celiac, you are doing yourself a great disservice "cheating".

      Shortness Of Breath (the "sighs")?

      It was gradual, just not being able to catch my breathe like I always had to take a deep breathe even taking a few steps I would be winded.

      Hi Marie Welcome to the forum. I am so sorry your daughter is pointing the finger at you like this.   I am afraid children of any age can be very cruel to their parents - I certainly look back at some of the things I said to my mother and father in the past, and wish I could unsay them.  Sometimes people just need a safe place to vent, and unfortunately having a go at one's parents is the all too easy option.  If she is anything like me, she will regret what she says one day.  (Oh... if only I had the chance rewind the clock!) I just wanted to add one more thing to Trent's and Scott's excellent posts and that is regarding diet:  I have to say, not one person  (my nutritionist, my gastroenterologist or GP) has EVER suggested that a poor diet was the cause of my coeliac disease.    In all the various clinics I have attended these past nearly 12 years no-one has ever asked if I was brought up on processed food, or questioned if I eat 5 fruit and veg a day.  Sure, unfortunately I am only too well aware that I could do a lot better with my diet and it's a constant challenge for me not to give into what I like (unfortunately I've always had a sweet tooth).   But I know some super healthy 10 fruit and veg a day types who still got coeliac disease, and equally, a lot of people who eat all the wrong stuff and they still have cast iron stomachs. Do encourage her to get checked though - it may be that she hasn't got coeliac disease at all. Come back to us if you need any more support through the process. Cristiana

      Welcome to the forum, @Marie70! The first thing to know is that celiac disease has a genetic base. The two main genes that have been identified as providing the potential to develop celiac disease are HLA-DQ2 and HLA-DQ8. About 40% of  the general population carries one or both of these genes. However, only about 1% of the general population ever develops celiac disease. So, we know that in addition to possessing the genetic potential to develop celiac disease, there has to be some triggering environmental or medical "stress" factor (or factors) that switches the gene or genes on such that they are awakened from their latent condition and become active. What may be the triggering factor (or factors) is the subject of much debate. Here is an article that discusses this subject: Second, what will your daughter have to say if her testing for celiac disease is negative? She may have to add crow to her diet. Third, and this is what I really want to focus on because my wife and I are dealing with something similar in our relationship with our own adult daughter: the real problem is not whatever shortcomings you, as the family cook, may have had when providing meals, the real problem is with your daughter's heart/soul/attitude. If it turns out to be true that she has celiac disease, it is likely she would have developed the condition sooner or later even if her diet had been healthier while growing up. She is angry about the prospect of having to deal with the dietary and social limitations that having celiac disease would impose upon her. She doesn't want to face up to the fact that this may be a new reality that will dramatically changer her life and she is looking for someone or something to blame. And she has conveniently turned her wrath on you rather than saying to herself, "Okay, this is what it is. Now what can I do to make adjustments in order to with it the best way I can?"  When faced with a life-changing reality, people will either accept it for what it is, make adjustments and move on or they will become angry and look for something or someone to blame and get stuck. For now, at least, your daughter has chosen the latter option. Don't let her problem destroy both of you.

      It sounds like you’re carrying a lot of guilt, but please know that you didn’t cause your daughter’s potential celiac disease or your son’s Crohn’s. These conditions have strong genetic components, and while diet can influence symptoms, it does not cause autoimmune diseases. You did the best you could with the knowledge you had at the time, and no parent is perfect. Your daughter’s frustration is understandable, but it’s likely coming from a place of fear and uncertainty rather than true blame. Let her get tested, and if she does have celiac disease, you can support her moving forward. Instead of focusing on guilt, try shifting the conversation toward healing and learning together. You’re not alone, and you don’t deserve to carry this weight on your own. This article might be helpful. She needs to be screened for celiac disease before she can be sure that she has it. Another approach not discussed in the article is a genetic test for celiac disease, which she could do without eating gluten.
