Very interesting. Thanks. I too have a genetic marker for celiac.....which have realized is actually gluten intolerance diagnosed by my rheumatologist. I was diagnosed with Polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) at age 58...very young(er) than average which is 70. I was told to go gluten free and its made a big difference. I can really tell when I "cheat".

With PMR came prednisone...and after 1.5 years of taking it now osteopenia....and just recently pain from osteporosis. Sort of "when it rains, it pours".

Thanks for the insight on this...will keep doing research focus on my nutrition. My rheumatologist said "gluten-free is not 'a little bit of gluten'"...

yeah, unfortunately gluten free means you're all in! A little can do a lot of damage if you are celiac, gluten intolerant or have autoimmunity.

You have a very progressive rheumatologist or maybe the tides are turning. When I told them 11 years ago that I was going gluten free to stem my autoimmune response, they looked at my like I had two heads.
