If you are truly gluten intolerant, you should not let it creep back into your diet at all!!! If you continue to ingest gluten, it dramatic increases your chances of getting colo-rectal cancer and people with gluten intolerance/celiac disease are more likely to die of colo-rectal cancer than normal people once they have it. We have gluten intolerance in our family (it's hereditary) and most family members have been tested, but my aunt refused to be tested because she didn't want to have to change her diet. So far, she is the only one in our family who got colo-rectal cancer and she passed much quicker than the average colo-rectal cancer patient with no gluten intolerance history.Jennifer Lynn said:Paisley - Thank you for bringing up gluten intolerance. I have that through my mother's side, and when initially diagnosed, I want gluten-free cold turkey for several years. But eventually wheat, barley and rye found their way back in to my diet, but only in small doses. Intolerances, I have learned do indeed ruin the small intestine, where vitamins and minerals are absorbed from our food. That is what renders many anemic, as well as vitamin deficient (I have that issue, and take a daily vitamin).
