Hi again -
I wasn't sure if I could put two questions in the same email!!! I am not at
all sensitive to gluten. (Although I am now much more sensitive to
acknowledged no-no's like bread). I had none of the typical celiac symptoms -
none. It was purely by chance that I was biopsy-diagnosed.
Therefore, if I ingest gluten accidentally, am I still damaging the villa -
especially if I don't have any reaction? Now that school is out I would like
to enjoy cereal again (you can't eat cereal on the run) - rice crispies and
corn flakes. I'm well aware that these products have malt in them. I
suspect it would not upset my stomach but am I damaging it nonetheless? Same
holds true with beer - I read somewhere that Corona is safe to drink and
someone said that he allows himself a couple of beers every now and then with
seemingly no ill-effects. Are there?
I suspect I know the answers to these questions but hope springs eternal. I
still haven't gotten past the deprived stage because I wasn't sick to begin
with!!!
I will summarize...
Regards, Linda in Savannah
