That's very much dependent on the individual. Some people get better immediately. For some, it takes a while longer, depending on the amount of damage. However, with negative blood work - your damage (if any) is probably minimal.

There are a lot of great reading materials available that go into great detail about gluten intolerance issues. My favorite was "Living Gluten Free For Dummies" by Danna Korn. It's very clear and concise and the information is accurate. That was my first choice because it's incredibly basic. As I started to understand more and more... I moved on to the more technical stuff.

How long have you been gluten free?? If it's been a while and you still aren't feeling better, you very well could have more going on than just a gluten issue.

7 years - at least that's what I'm hoping because I'm in year 7 of being gluten-free and would really like to put a little dairy/egg/chocolate/coffee/nightshades back into my diet and maybe even ask Santa for a stable digestive track and a body that works a little better. That's just me, not everyone. I'm sure it depends on age, lifestyle, genes and condition of your body

      Cooking with Scallop Medalions

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I believe I've seen them at Costco still in the shells (in the frozen seafood area), which might be a safe way to go.

      Is this safe for someone with celiac disease?

      A dedicated rack is a great idea if everyone in the house understands and supports the idea, and just to clarify, I didn't recommend just wiping the rack down, but washing it well in soap and hot water.

      Thanks, I appreciate you getting back to me.  Sometimes the retailers don't have content info on products they sell and they have rewrapped them with no ingredients list. Guess I'll stick to prepackaged medalions with all the info.

      Coping with celiac

      By ShariW · Posted

      I find that I sometimes have symptoms due to cross-contact with foods that *might* be contaminated in the processing. 100% gluten-free certification is something I look for in every processed food I consume.

      I would not be comfortable with just wiping down the rack after a gluten-containing food was cooked on it. When I cook pizza in the oven, my gluten-free pizza goes on the top rack - nothing else is ever placed directly on that top rack, gluten or not. Contact with minute traces of gluten cause me symptoms within a few hours. If I heat a gluten-free roll in my toaster oven, I place it on a small bit of foil so that it does not directly contact the rack that *might* have traces of gluten on it.
