I have a question my doctor cannot answer and I haven't found in the research I have done.  I have read that celiacs should heal (our villi) in approximately 6 weeks or so.  My question is: once we have healed what happens after we accidently ingest gluten?  If it is just a small amount (I'm not talking about eating a whole loaf of bread) does it destroy all the villi again?  If so, does it take another 6 weeks or so to heal after each accidental ingestion?

I appreciate any insight.  Thanks,
Lori
