How Long Until You Would Believe It?

Hello All,

In a recent study (Eur J Gastroenterol Hepatol. 2008 May;20(5):423-429), it was reported that some individuals with >10-yr biopsy-proven celiac disease experienced spontaneous gluten tolerance and a complete return to normalcy. It is extremely interesting that this is possible although the mechanism is entirely unknown. I'm just wondering, if I became completely asymptomatic, how long it would take me to believe that I was "cured". I'm not sure that I would ever believe it, or trust in my ability to consume gluten. How about you?

Thanks

For all that is known about this disease, there is still so much that isn't...

Wouldn't that be something...to develop a sudden tolerance?

Ahhhh, dare to dream....... :)

Dude . . . was that a link to the study or were you just listing it as a reference? If it was a link, it's not working. I would love to read what they've got to say.

I have mentioned this before, I have not intentionally eaten gluten in close to three years. I KNOW that I have been exposed to some form of gluten or at the least some cross contamination. I have never reacted in the past year and a half.

I consider myself in remission, though never cured.

Today, it would take repetitive glutenings over an unknown period of time to react. I THINK :huh: . This is territory that I choose not to venture. I am saving that adventure for a very expensive French restaurant.

It's a reference to a journal abstract that can be found by searching for "celiac" at Open Original Shared Link

      gluten-free and continued upper left side pain after drinking wine

      By Raquel2021 · Posted

      Yes stress can .make the pain worse. That being said it is taking years for my body to heal. I am not able to eat out as 98 % of restaurants do not know how to cook for celiacs.  I only eat out on special occasions. Any time I eat gluten I feel there is a tourch going through my digestive system specifically in the area you have mentioned.  Like where the deudenal is . I am very sensitive to cross contamination so any small amount of gluten makes me sick.

      Gluten free diet - are these symptoms normal?

      By trents · Posted

      @Ems10, celiac diagnosis normally involves two steps. The first one is serum antibody testing which you may have already have had done and are waiting on the results. The second step involves and endoscopy (aka, gastroscopy) with biopsy of the small bowel lining. This second step is typically ordered if one or more antibody tests were positive, is a confirmation of the serum antibody testing and is considered the gold standard diagnostic test for celiac disease. Now hear this, you should not be eating gluten free weeks or months in advance of either kind of testing. Prematurely going on a gluten free diet can and will sabotage the results of the endoscopy/biopsy should you get a referral to a GI doc who would want to do that. Eliminating gluten from the diet causes causes inflammation to subside which allows the small bowel ling to heal such that the damage they would be looking for is no longer there.

      Approximately 10x more people have non-celiac gluten sensitivity than have celiac disease, but there isn’t yet a test for NCGS. If your symptoms go away on a gluten-free diet it would likely signal NCGS.

      It might make sense for you to find out if they've run a celiac disease test on you, and if not, consider planning for it.

      Thanks for your reply! I’m really not too sure, the doctor just took a few tubes of blood & that’s all I know 🥹
