I have had many responses telling me that infants and children who are
diagnosed with Celiac often go into a (typical) period of remission during
adolesence. However, the damage continues and symptoms often reappear in
later life. Years ago, it was a common assumption about Celiac, that these
children had "outgrown" their disease.

Others warned about the possible health hazards of Celiac-diagnosed adults
not following the diet. It seems that some people choose to ignore their
illness and reintroduce gluten, once they are feeling better and the villi
have healed, (one or two years after starting diet?)

Some list members suggested a mis-diagnosis in the first place.
