Hi i have celiac disease where you cant eat gluten (wheat) because you body can't break down the foods. But some doctors said that i can't have gluten (wheat) occasionally but the doctor that almost completely cured my friends chrones said i could have it once a week.
I dont know if this is true…what do you think and what will happen to me if i do occasionally have gluten (wheat)??

The answer is NO. If anyone tells you its ok… the answer is still NO. If someone were allergic to bee stings do you think it would be ok to get stung once in a while. Celiac is not the same as gluten intolerance. Its not a matter of breaking down the food, it that the substance (gluten) irritates the little things in your intestines that allow you to get nutrients. Chrones isn't the same as celiac disease.
If you have celiac's disease you will damage the celia in your intestines. Everytime you introduce gluten into your system you cause an auto-immune response. Please don't kid yourself. Talk to a specialist. There is a good chance that you will be accidently introducing it from time to time. That will be more than enough.
Don't harm your healing by getting into the "oh a little won't hurt" mind set. This isn't a diet. You have to learn a new way to eat. This is your health. Read everything that you can about this and talk to a specialist. You have to understand what you are going to do to keep healthy. Good Luck!

I don't personally have it, but my sister does have Celiac's Disease.
Its alright to have a little occasionally, but the less you have and the farther apart it is the better off you'll be

Celiac disease means your body attacks itself when you eat gluten. Its more than just not being able to break down the foods. Its autoimmune, and will do lasting damage if you aren't careful.
Its up to you if you want to eat it occassionally. Some people can eat it every once in awile and not have a problem. But I wouldnt eat it every week.
Good luck
