<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> I went to a gastro MD about my CD (have been diagnosed for a year but haven't been to a specialist). He told me something that was very interesting but that contradicts what I have read on this list. He said that our villi are constantly rejuvenating themselves and are completely repared in about 7 days of GF diet. The implications of this are obvious: that I could "cheat" once in a while without permanent damage. Any response to this? I am skeptical but hopeful. There are some foods with trace amounts of gluten which give me mild symptoms. It would be nice to eat these once in a while if I knew no long-term damage was being done.
