Great that you are getting better. It would be a good idea to get tested for celiac disease before you are off gluten (full celiac panel and endoscopy). Around 30-40% of people have the HLA-DQ2 or DQ8 antigen that can be triggered by numerous things, including viruses. There are also some pretty good 1 to 1 GF flours to replace wheat in recipes (Bob's Red Mill and Jules are two examples). Other good sources of GF flours are teff, quinoa, buckwheat (related to rhubarb, not wheat), timothy (timtana), and certified GF oats (otherwise contam. from wheat harvesting and such). Good of avoid rye and barley which have the same gluten proteins that cause immune reactions. Gluten is hidden in a lot of things, so check ingredient lists for food, medicine, and others.
