mrsD --

I'm going to pursue the celiac angle stronger in the coming days. Besides neuropathy, I've many CD symptoms (some for decades).

My initial blood work though - all IgA's/IgG's/IgM's, etc. - has come back negative. But I am going to get/insist on an endoscopy as soon as I can; maybe the genetic test too.

In the mean time, I've gone 'gluten free' (though I will have to fatten back up on gluten before any endoscopy), which is actually a hard thing to do. Not necessarily taste-wise, though palate adjustments need be made, but difficult in tracking down all those endless ingredients floating around in stuff.

No redness and flushing here (things can always be worse I guess). Just pain. Lots and lots of burning.

Thanks again for all the info on supplements and the like. It's a good thing you're doing out there.
