Staying gluten free is a tough one. Even though John does not have a gluten/wheat issue, we still try to keep our wheat intake low. Wheat is hard on our systems.

Have they checked your nutritional status yet? As you probably know, celiac causes many nutritional deficiencies and it can take awhile to restore the imbalances. B12, folate, b6, copper, zinc and iron are critical to blood production and proper DNA/RNA expression.
