As usual, Perlie, the info you try to give is confused, if not
completely deranged and dangerous.
According to Celiac.com: "The only acceptable treatment for celiac
disease is strict adherence to a 100% gluten-free diet for life."
No exception seems to be listed for cardamon.
They say, further:
"There is no prescriptive drug celiacs can take to effect a cure. In
fact, there is no cure, though there is every opportunity for
celiacs to lead normal, healthy lives by following a diet that
contains no gluten. This means avoiding all products derived from
wheat, rye, barley, oats, and a few other lesser-known grains.
"Extra vitamins may be taken, if necessary, but the only way for a
celiac to avoid damage to their intestinal villi and the associated
symptoms, is by maintaining a gluten-free diet."
