those of you with a coeliac diagnosis, how do you feel when you accidentally eat it?

Because while I've had all the tests (colonoscopy, endo, blood tests) I came up negative for coeliac disease despite having all the symptoms and recovering when I stopped eating it 6 months ago. My NHS dietician said that it was fine to stop eating it if that solved the problem.

A couple of weeks ago I ate some gravy with wheat in it and suffered from stomach pains and bloating for a week. It took me back to how I used to feel every day. It starts with bloating, then after a day or so the pain moves into my intestines and at the end of the week I can feel it in my bowels / lower colon before I recover. My digestive system feels inflamed all that time IYSWIM. This is despite going to the toilet all the bloody time, so in theory whatever it is should be well out of my system before then. Is that a standard side effect of gluten 'poisoning'?

(I've learnt my lesson now and we have gluten free gravy, stuffing and yorkshire puds today Grin.)

For me it's terrible fatigue. I can barely talk or function if I get gluten end. It's awful.

My coeliac DS gets projectile vomiting, goes pale and very tired for several days and gets terrible stomach cramps.

Have you heard of non-coeliac gluten-sensitivity? Similar symptoms to coeliac, but without the antibodies/villi damage. There is an increasing amount of research on this.
