Thanks, Teresa. I've been thinking about, and reading about, gluten. I now know that even though I have wonderful digestion and no obvious symptoms, that doesn't rule out gluten sensitivity. I also test fine for the vitamin levels they've tested me for, so I have no reason to think I have absorption problems.

Starting a GF diet--before you're used to it--is a big project (especially with so many people around my table), though I did it once, years ago, when I thought my nursing baby might have CD (she didn't. She had a genetic syndrome that included liver defects). I guess I'm just worried that it will be like everything else I've tried...I think it's helping...then I think it's not...then I think it is...then I get discouraged. This disease is so up and down that it's hard to tell.

Thanks for your help and your concern.
