Tolerance levels in celiacs

It is not unusual for some people with celiac disease to show little or no reaction when they are exposed to gluten. In my observations it seems that very often the people who were having the most severe health problems before they were diagnosed are often the people who have the most severe reactions to a gluten exposure.

Don't let this lull you into a false sense of security. If you continue to ingest gluten, whether you are aware of a reaction or not, you greatly increase the chances that you will develop serious complications later on. The most severe of these possible consequences is cancer. It killed my mother, who did not want to be bothered changing her diet.

If you have been diagnosed with celiac disease it is imperative that you stick as closely as possible to a strictly gluten free diet. It does get a lot easier as time goes by, thankfully.

Thanks for bringing this up.
