Yes, your nutritionist is totally wrong. NO ONE NEEDS GLUTEN IN THEIR LIFE! There is not a single nutrient in gluten that anyone needs. Nothing. This "whole wheat" craze that the industry is trying to push on people is just another way to make money. More and more people are becoming gluten intolerant all the time. I am a celiac and I belong to a celiac support. Every month we have at the very least, 10 new members. I find that very sad. The wheat they are growing now has been so scienitifically messed with that the majority of us can no longer tolerate it--it is not the wheat that our ancestors grew.

Monica, 4 months really isn't long enough, especially if you are not going totally gluten free and only you can do that. Many yogurts are gluten free, so are many chocolates, you just have to read ingredients. I am not sure where you are from, but most countries know more about celiac disease than the US does. The best celiac doctors in the US are not home grown, they are from foreign countries.

My neuropathy was caused by my vitamin and mineral deficiencies from undiagnosed celiac disease. If you are gluten intolerant and you do go back to eating gluten, then you will only being causing more damage to your system.
