eating gluten

Post by scrowley »

So i have been GF/DF for the last year and right now we are redoing our kitchen so i cant bake my GF bread and i need my bread.
so i decided to start eating regular bread over 10 days ago as i dont like the GF varieties and i feel fine.
i have no D, no gas, no C, no aches or pains at all..........
i never did the enterolab testing so just went off the Dairy, gluten and soy instead.
I fully intend going Gf again once my kitchen is done, but could it be possible that i am not gluten intolerant even though most if not everyone is qith MC and what are the symptoms of gluten intolerance?
However i wont touch dairy as i dont care to get that reaction.
i think my issue in the past has always been dairy and wheat and all the high fiber foods.

Hi Sheila,

Sure, it's certainly possible. Usually, though, that only happens with someone whose MC is drug-induced. If you've been GF for a year, and you didn't have extensive small intestinal damage, you may have healed enough that it will take a while for the symptoms to begin, again. IOW, you may have to accumulate more damage, before you will begin to react. It could take a few weeks, or a few months. In some cases, it can take a year or more for symptoms to show up again. Let's hope that they don't.

before my colonscopy in August last year, i had some bread and I had ice cream with hot chocolate sauce.

it was good to test the waters and see how well or how badly i would react, and i have to admit i enjoyed the texture and feel of eating the bread more than the taste of it, the fluffyness of it.
if you are going to feel poorly from doing the prep, might as well have a food that you have not had for a while and feel like crap for a good reason.......

hope the kitchen works go well
