My Dad has Celiac Disease, he thought he was dying before they diagnosed it. He does well except when traveling and eating in resturaunts that just don't get "it." I have an Uncle that died from it...so it is nothing to take lightly.

Might not be your sort of thing but it's a fast ride and I love the main characters, Jo and Gary.<br /><br />Re the auto immune issues, GI not healing, joint pain and all the rest, do be careful that you yourself haven't picked up Lyme along the way somewhere. It all sounds rather similar to what I and my fellow chronic lyme sufferers have been dealing with. The ELISA test they use is useless for chronic lyme, because the bloody bug shuts down your body's ability to perceive it as a threat, so if you do suspect it, make sure you read up on how to get tested as accurately as possible. Best of luck with the op and all of the rest!T.L.

It certainly gave me a better understanding of celiac disease. For example, did you know that Kris should not kiss Bess on the lips right after Bess finishes her gluten-rich dog food? Now that is rough, if you are limited in your Bess kissing. And I am brushing up on the recipes in the book, although I am not one of the great-cook friends that Kris mentioned. farm buddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02746039869965536774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1432762024762532275.post-24668276147549334772016-06-27T12:41:49.547-04:002016-06-27T12:41:49.547-04:00Brew loose tea--it is so much better than tea bags...Brew loose tea--it is so much better than tea bags.<br /><br />We hope your surgery goes well and is successful at eliminating your pain.Terrihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11847481653550841384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1432762024762532275.post-29432204017490230972016-06-27T10:32:29.013-04:002016-06-27T10:32:29.013-04:00Good luck K with all you are dealing with and come...Good luck K with all you are dealing with and come back to your blog soon!
