@krsti, I have located a link to information about the Mayo Clinic Diet. I can understand your husband's hesitancy about considering a diet plan. However the Mayo Diet Plan is actually a plan/strategy for healthy lifestyle that offers sound nutritional information along with help[ful recipe modifications - and encourages/teaches good eating habits. In fact, your husband will learn (as did my husband) that it will benefit him, too!

I saw this and want to share it with you and with anyone else who is wondering what the Mayo Clinic Diet is all about. It was posted on the Mayo Clinic News Network on January 5, 2024

I hope that you will gain some insight from this information.

Kristi, I am curious as to how you were celiac before the surgery, and am not now. It is something that i am not familiar with. Would you care to share what occurred to change this for you?
