Hi,

Are you wondering how to go gluten free or are you worried that you have a gluten sensitivity?

A INR if 3.5 isn't great but looking on the bright side, it could be worse...

Intermittent consumption of alcohol will push your INR up; and most antibiotics will make the readings go haywire. There are probably other reasons too - but I'm a coeliac, not a doctor!

You may need to give us some more info to enable people here to support you.

There was a discussion around coeliac disease and Factor v Leiden a little while ago. I don't know if it will be of any help.

I think with your history and family history it would be sensible to get tested for various clotting issues including but not restricted to APLS and FVL. You need to know what you are dealing with and find a doctor who knows what they are doing.
