I am in the eighth week of an extended reaction to gluten exposure—extreme weight loss due to diarrhea, drop in blood pressure causing dizziness. The gastroenterologist ordered an endoscopy which showed, naturally, active celiac disease but also evidence of gastritis. He has put me on a daily d...

I live in the Midwest where there seems to be a dearth of knowledge about celiac disease. Perhaps you live in a large city where medical staff are more educated about celiac. i have been glutened countless times over the years by restaurants who claimed to have taken steps that proper cooking...
