Hi- I have been reading the CD postings for awhile but have not written before. I am a 35 yr. old mother of 5 and was diagnosed with CD just over 2 years ago. I would like to hear from Celiacs who do not have an outward physical reaction when ingesting gluten. I haven't come across anyone yet and would like to talk with others like me. During the first year I was diagnosed I "cheated" here and there before making the adjustment to being 100% gluten free. I let myself eat regular food each time we went on vacation. On a cruise that winter, I ate regular food all day long for 10 days straight and didn't have a single symptom. Please don't send me a 100 emails telling me how dangerous the long term effects are and how much intestinal damage I am doing - I am well aware of all of that. I just want to know how others in my situation cope ie: how do I know if I am accidentally consuming trace amounts of gluten if I feel fine and, it is admittedly harder to "resist temptation" when there are not immediate negative results. Anyone else out there like me? I am looking forward to any replies and am grateful to have found this connection to other Celiacs. Have a great day!
