      @Joe R Thanks for clarifying! That's what I've heard, too, about Italy, but I've never been, sad face.

(Maybe if a "glutening" causes so many discomforts and inconveniences that it just overwhelms your life, and you have nothing else to do...maybe.) But, generally in the clinical setting, coming off prednisone requires a taper, as suddenly quitting can cause problems. Anyway, good for you!

      That was the suggestion from my GI doc but I never book the medicine and maintained a strict gluten free diet. Actually, Italy is much more sensitive to gluten free diets than the US, I found.

      @Joe R are you saying that while traveling in Italy as a person with Celiac disease, you are eating gluten-containing foods and taking prednisone to dampen down the flares? Plumbago
