This is a very good comment.  I found all sorts of things difficult to stomach for about 2 years after my diagnosis , that I was able to eat again after a while. Eventually there was one thing that I still couldn't eat and that was pure oats (i.e. those certified uncontaminated with gluten, the only oats we coeliacs should be eating).  I think it took until I was fully healed, and my antibodies were normal at last (about 8 years, from memory!) for me to be able to eat pure oats and now I have no issue with them whatsoever.  I remember nutritionists kept saying, "keep trying to reintroduce oats", and I thought "No way, José!", but they were absolutely right.  It is important to note, however, that a small percentage of coeliacs do react to the avenin in the oats, in the same way as coeliacs react to gluten, and that is something that will never change for them.  I thought I was in that group, but it turns out I wasn't in the end.

Thanks for sharing Scott. Congratulations on having a gluten-free daughter as well makes me proud

My daughter is 19 and is gluten-free, and for her high school seemed to be the hardest period to deal with. Peer pressure was intense and it sometimes led her to cheat on her diet. She is doing much better with it now.

Do you have officially diagnosed celiac disease? Or are you not a celiac but gluten sensitive?

In general I guess. I wasn't gluten free until I graduated highschool.
