After many many many months I decided to *try* eating gluten again.Not a lot. I had a slice of pizza friday, a whole wheat hamburger bun Sunday, and part of a whole wheat tortilla today. I sneezed a lot friday. I was sick Saturday. I sneezed a lot Sunday. I sneezed a lot today. And I have had stomach cramps and bloating since friday.

Experiment over.

    Well at least you know for sure now and can just move forward. My 13 year old son had to do the same experiment. After the migraines and puking showed up he decided he was happy being gluten free.

    For some reason I can only chalk up to temporary insanity after being gluten free over two years I decided to eat real pizza. :( I got a migraine that lasted four days, pain in almost all my joints, a week of stomach disturbances, bloating, swollen lymph nodes, and massive fatigue. I won't try that again. I guess it's just one of those things that you have to prove to yourself even though you know it's a bad idea!
  • I did that last week too. I got itchy blisters all over my hands. I put myself through this every so often just to "make for sure"... when will I ever learn?

    Been there, done that.... on multiple occasions. For some reason every time I get close to feeling 100% again, I decide I could probably tolerate it.
