Coeliac update
Until the start of the weekend I'd been taking the Glutamine and Pancreatin as prescribed. It's been over a week since I begun the course and was told to reduce the intake.

I no longer have 40 plus bowel movements in 24 hours, my various infections are under control because my body can cope better and is stronger than it has been in a decade.
Nope it's blessing!

It eat so much healthier now that I am aware of the tripe that is out there for the "average" consumer to chug, choke down, or cake on...
