I have celiac as well, but not to the extreme. I can eat wheat in moderation and pay no immediate consequences, but I hear even small amounts of gluten for somebody with the condition, whether or not they feel the symptoms, can do permanent damage to your intestinal celei (I'm gonna really have to check how to spell "si-lee-I" lol). What's cool though is that since I stopped consuming so much gluten, the lactose intolerance I've had all my life is now gone.

You don't need the gluten that badly though, it's just a cultural thing that's caused us to become so dependant on it. It's a great oportunity to stop eating so many strait-carbs and start eating way more fruit, which I have done and has definately made me healthier. Plus you can eat potatoes, rice, and corn.
