Sharky, if that was directed to me, I have no idea. I have been in and out of digestive comfort since i was a child. I had both loose stools and constipation but overall general health. later i went through a few years with anorexia (15-18yrs old) and 11 years of vegetarianism, starting in sixth grade. and i have osteopeonia (early osteoperosis) and i am only 24. so i have no idea. i know i feel aweful and spacey when i eat wheat and related food. i recently heard of the relationship between celiac and malabsorption/osteoperosis. i am getting curious...I am back to eating meat and stick to meat, quinoa, veggies and fruit. and vitamins and minerals. its all a mystery and i just stumbled upon the forum hoping for any insight.
