Hey, it is so tempting, all the time to go back to eating gluten but as you say there are other medical issues it could introduse. I'm 70 years and I keep thinking what could go wrong in the last few years of life? It's hard. Thanks for your input.

Yes, it’s called “silent celiac.” I have two family members who have this. One of which doesn’t eat a gluten free diet because she doesn’t think it does damage if she doesn’t have symptoms. However, I am well aware of the damage she is doing and risks to significant medical complications in the future. She is also pregnant with her second child and I’m fearful of what damage can be done to her pregnancy not following a gluten free diet. Very frustrating for those of us who are celiac and follow a strict diet and very confusing for our family members who don’t understand why one celiac can have gluten and other celiacs can’t. 

Wow, I had no idea dermatitis herpetiformis is so easily triggered! So there are definitely things that could trigger the dermatitis herpetiformis, and not the gluten reaction… I’m gathering. Yikes.    im learning so much, thank you! Only in the last year or so has my dermatitis herpetiformis really become a factor, so I’m just figuring it all out. 

oh my goodness! I kid you not it took maybe 30 hours after stopping the drink for the rash to start to clear. I think I will try the matcha version and hope it’s just the coffee issue, because it was helping my energy so much. BUT now I know to keep a close eye for the mushroom negative effect… thank you so much!!!
