[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 1547177, member: 41816"] I will tag in [USER=345386]@DCUKMod[/USER] because I know she is gluten intolerant too. My own symptoms are not to do with the digestive tract at all. Mine are skin (psoriasis) and joint pain. Consequently, I am pretty certain that I wouldn't ever be diagnosed using the test for Coeliac which looks for lesions in the intestine. So I will happily consider mine to be non-coeliac gluten intolerance. There is some debate and variation whether non-coeliac gluten intolerance is an autoimmune condition or not. I think it may well vary from person to person. When I gave up gluten it took 2-3 months to experience the full benefits (good job I stuck with it, because a short exclusion period would not have seen me symptom free in that time), although most symptoms eased in less than a month. It was the first time I had been psoriasis free in over 30 years, which was wonderful. If I have gluten now, I feel pretty grotty, with both the psoriasis and the joint pain back within a couple of days and hanging around for a good 2-3 weeks, so I try very hard to avoid gluten in any form. I'm not Type 1, but I now there is a higher percentage of Type 1s with Coeliac than in the rest of population. [/QUOTE]
