Hey, that's easy.  It is by laughing at the amazing ways that wheat can
hide in foods, and recognizing that a goof on occasion is no big deal.
Especially as a really careful mom, you have your child with a normal
intestine.  With a normal intestine there is the experience from a
number of years ago of giving gluten to children that had been kept
gluten free.  When celiac children were challenged with a single dose
they had no symptoms.

So, if your child had symptoms consider he perpaps was just sick with
normal stuff.  To be sure, let him recover and do a rechallenge.  If
there is a problem you know there is either wheat in it or there is
some other intolerance.  If no reaction you haven't lost a favorite
food.  Read the label first and check back here for hidden gluten in
the list before the rechallenge.
