Celiac disease: Why your body thinks gluten is a nasty invasive antigen or ‘bug’. And how – if you keep eating gluten a vicious cycle of damage will ensue. In this post I will set the scene for future posts on dietary strategies to treat celiac disease. A number of recent studies have shown that [...]

I found this very interesting so this is just a quick post to share. I saw a new client last week, a woman with Rheumatoid arthritis.
