Cox-2 cytokines work in the GI tract to block absorption of undesirable substances ...and when suppressed by NSAIDs this can lead to "leaky gut" .

Mrs.D,
Thank you so much for your quick reply.
I threw the question because this gluten intolerance/celiac is still hanging over my shoulder. Although, my panel is negative but i become paranoid in looking for a reason for some of my symptoms. I was a pleasant and cheery person but now my mood swings. I think i have anxieties, brain fogginess. But then all these can be caused by a chronic illness. So, I am not sure where these mood swings and anxieties are coming from.
I tried a couple of times to go on gluten free but i tend to cheat because of lack of a black and white diagnosis. I know this is not a right attitude but with my losing weight, elevation of sugar, GI problem, lung issue, I could not focus on one thing.
