Lightbulb I believe that heavy use

of steroids and NSAIDs leads to gluten intolerance. These drugs suppress Cox-2 enzymes in the lining of the gut, which are the gatekeepers to keeping things from passing into the blood stream like the gluten peptide and and other large
immune stimulating things that are in food. (there was a paper printed on this in 1999).

So yes, many may develop this with time. You had the very high dose of prednisone for 3 months and it could have damaged your GI tract.

Tinkyada pasta is just excellent IMO and even for non-gluten diets. It has a lower glycemic index being from brown rice.

In the final analysis, it is your decision, Monica.
