I can't imagine all the things you've went through and going through still. Your mental strength is inspiring!! I will also try the gluten-avoiding diet for my boyfriend. He also gets acid reflux these days, but I wasn't sure where that's from since we had to stop chemo for the surgery and recovery. Thank you for sharing! Keep fighting! Let's all come out winners!

Thanks Iris0106. Gluten free isn't as hard as it sounds. Trader Joes has some good (in the fridge section) gluten free fettuccine. The gluten free breads are not great and I think you always have to toast them. But as long as you put something on them (jam, cheese, peanut butter), they are passable. You can bake stuff with gluten free substitute flours and mostly it turns out OK. But I find that baked goods made with gluten free flour are only good for 2 or 3 days. So I try to make things that don't require any flour naturally. For instance, I eat macaroons for my cookies and I found a recipe for corn bread that is made with only cornmeal, no flour. I hope it helps. I know how awful it is to feel like you don't dare leave your house. Good luck and thanks for your kind words.
