Hi Marnie

I haven't been diagnosed as coeliac but do have lots of problems eating anything with gluten in it so try to keep away from such foods as much as possible. I understood that people with RA tend to have more wheat intolerance but not sure where I heard or read this. I've mentioned my problem to the rheum team but as my eyes are more urgent at the moment (plus the RA of course) the focus has been on that! Interested to hear from Alison though that coeliac also an auto-immune disease - has got me thinking ...

Ive just read a study made by Otto Heinrich Warburg (1883-1970) "the primary cause and prevention of cancer". In this case, or in ours (r.a), gluten helps acidify the body, what isnt good!
