Thats terrible. Sorry to hear it, my mom has celiac and some type of gastro-disorder she refers to as IC that keeps her from being able to eat any acidic foods, fruits, veggies, etc. She cant have gluten either, and you wouldnt believe what all that stuff is in... Every time she gets gluten, it takes two weeks, and she is super ill for 2 months. The last thing that did it to her was face cream w/ gluten in it. She used to smoke and gave it up when she found out that nicotine also was worsening her condition
