I have seen a couple of people on this list and know of two personally in
my own area who have (after a period of being on a gluten free diet)
returned to a 'normal' diet, or at least introduced small amounts of
gluten.
3 of them received problems immediately, while the 4th was fine for a few
weeks before the symptoms began to return in force. My point being...
perhaps the aforementioned husband just hasn't had time for the symptoms to
re-occur. I guess time will tell...
As a result of hearing from those 4 people (I was kind of tempted myself at
one point), I personally intend to remain absolutely strict on my diet for
life.
While I'm here... a question... (if this is contained in an FAQ I missed,
somebody point it out to me please? *grin*)
How long do people find that it takes for symptoms to register after they
have accidentally/intentionally eaten something containing gluten? In my
own case, I get cramps within 4 hours, but one of my Coeliac friends
reckons her symptoms can take up to 14 days...
Thanks in advance :)
Pete...
P.S. private email me the answer to that one... if I get enough responses
I'll simply summarise the info and post it to the list.
