I'm a first generation celiac in the process of being formally diagnosed. It doesn't run in my family yet I got lucky. Counting calories has always been a challenge for me, but now it's a difficult matter of survival.
In those miserable instances where you consume gluten, unknowingly- what do you do to manage the symptoms? What have you tried that has helped? How long does the backlash typically last for you?
