Wow – those stats are scary! I recall the last time I had an "attack" after being exposed to wheat I was so so violently ill. It really is no joking matter….
I've learned through accidental glutenings that a little still hurts! So one only can guess what it's doing that I can't feel…!
I love this series you are doing – such great info! Thanks. Sandy
I am not celiac or gluten intolerant, but my oldest son has a sensitivity (Dermititis Herpetiformis) and my good friend is extremely intolerant/allergic (although not celiac) and becomes very ill if just a small portion of gluten is ingested. I am pretty much the only person she trusts to cook for her because she KNOWS that I will go out of my way to insure purity in my kitchen! I am forwarding this article along to her, because all the time she tells me about folks who can't understand her need to avoid gluten and I know these stats will be so useful to her in defending herself!
Late to the party (just recently acquired confirmed information) and I appreciate the "permission" to make a big deal out of a "sensitivity" that is not full Celiac.
My C test came back negative, but difference of a GF diet is unavoidable. Still trying to learn how to live, but I'm committed at this point.
