Ok so it definitely is a fact that I have celiac disease and that it's a lifetime commitment of avoiding gluten but is it possible to gain the ability to tolerate this grain again?? Looking back, I distinctly remember accidentally swallowing a sip of beer or eating food that I found out later was processed in a factory that makes wheat - only to not experience any symptoms of being glutened. Although I appear to be winning this food allergy Russian roulette, I could very well be occasionally consuming gluten and not necessarily aware of it, which kind of scares me.A college friend of mine was actually diagnosed with celiac disease a year or 2 before I was but she never changed her dietary habits because she didn't experience any symptoms. At first I envied her but then I realized that she's now leaving her body vulnerable to cancers, intestinal damage and many more side effects by ignoring her diagnosis.
No matter what your symptoms, or lack thereof, for this autoimmune disease are, I encourage you to remember that the only solution is to avoid gluten at all costs. Is bread really worth the gamble of your intestines?
