Reddit reviews Celiac Disease (Newly Revised and Updated): A Hidden Epidemic

I don't think the time "resets," but you are still damaging your small intestine. I've had celiac all my life - had it as a baby, but back then the doctors thought you outgrew it - was rediagnosed 20 years ago. I've "cheated" a couple of times since then. The thing is that if you accidentally (or not) ingest gluten, you are still doing damage. My grandmother died of colon cancer, so I'm particuarly aware of that. (You can get colon cancer from gluten if you have celiac and don't know it.)

Once I accidentally ingested gluten for about a week - it was a small amount in a vitamin. I was so sick that I thought I had the flu. But if I ingest a small amount once, sometimes I have no symptoms. It depends on how sensitive you are.

GF foods have come a long way since I was re-diagnosed. I would definitely not cheat on purpose every day - if you do, you have a higher rate of getting another autoimmune disease, getting cancer, having osteoporosis, getting diabetes, and a host of other issues. The gut is like your second brain, and the body reacts accordingly. This is a great book to read about celiac and what it does to your body if you're not on a GF diet.

Is this the one?
