I think you must be very fortunate, I have a reaction to small amounts of
gluten even if it takes a few days to happen. I remember how sick I was
and that is my sole motivation for being dedicated to my GF diet. This
reaction and the death of my grandmother (lymphoma) and my two children
who have special needs(Autism etc) make me aware that my health is
precious. I get supplements and creative cooking ideas to replace the
gluten based nutritionals. I feel alive now, before I would wonder how
other people had the energy to do the things that they did - a new lease
of life was given to me and I refuse to give it up!!:-)
Above all, enjoy life,
