I have a question my doctor cannot answer and I haven't found in the research I have done. I have read that celiacs should heal (our villi) in approximately 6 weeks or so. My question is: once we have healed what happens after we accidently ingest gluten? If it is just a small amount (I'm not talking about eating a whole loaf of bread) does it destroy all the villi again? If so, does it take another 6 weeks or so to heal after each accidental ingestion?
I appreciate any insight. Thanks,
Lori
