As I understand it, the longer one goes without gluten the more intense symptoms of accidental glutening will be, yes? I was trying to explain this to my boyfriend earlier and was having trouble with it. What physically (in layman's terms) is going on to cause gluten to have such an effect later on?

When you correct the damage, the reintroduction of the damage is WAY worse then it ever was to begin with. The symptoms will be much worse. Have him imagine a nice smooth surface( I know intestines are not and have little villi) then if you eat gluten, the surface becomes extremely rough and passage becomes difficult. I am new to this and it was easy for my wife to understand, but my friends can be retarded and have no idea what the big deal is. Point is, we can cheat and we can go back and forth with gluten-free and Not gluten-free and really be uncomfortable. but at some point the damage will no longer be able to heal itself.

How him google the disease and learn as if he was diagnosed

Tell him it's the difference between getting a scratch on a brand new car, vs one on an old beater. Which scratch is going to bug you more?

      Chicken Thighs

      Here is a link to the skin version, and the only ingredients are "chicken": https://www.perduefarms.com/en-US/perdue-bone-in-chicken-thighs-pack/60625.html There should also be ingredients and any allergens listed there on the package.

      Chicken Thighs

      Welcome to the forum, @BeeBarnard! I really can't imagine how either skin or skinless chicken thighs could not be gluten free unless one or the other were treated with some seasoning ingredient that was not gluten free. Do the product labels indicate any additional ingredients added to the meat? Is your daughter a super sensitive celiac? If not, the...

      Chicken Thighs

      HI, My daughter was recently diagnosed with Celiac and I would like to make her some chicken soup (she's got he flu). I found all gluten free ingredients but I'm having trouble with the chicken. I purchased Purdue bone-in chicken thighs from BJ's Wholesale Club. Purdue says that they are gluten free but the BJ's website says no. It seems like skin-on chicken...

      Cooking with Scallop Medalions

      Perimenopause/menopause

      Hello there, it's been ages since I signed into this account. Wanted to see if there were other celiac patients that have gone through perimenopause/menopause and chose to take estrogen or wear an estrogen patch? I know all of our bodies are different but curious how it went or is going for you. Thanks so much.

Do the product labels indicate any additional ingredients added to the meat? Is your daughter a super sensitive celiac? If not, the amount of gluten cross contamination found in seasonings is usually inconsequential.
