I've been eating gluten free for 15+ years now, and it's gotten so much easier now. Though the food definitely costs more if you want any sort of grains.
When I was diagnosed I had basically no symptoms (my mom was also diagnosed). Now if I eat gluten I'll end up feeling similar to a hangover. It's amazing what your body can get used to if you're eating it constantly.
Now that I've been eating gluten free, several of my other food sensitivities and allergies have become more mild or gone away entirely. Milk was a big one when I was younger (tested negative for lactose, but the milk proteins can look similar to gluten to your immune system).
