Many people said that they did indeed experience shortness of breath before
their celiac diagnosis. Some attribute it to the anemia they suffered as a
result of the celiac disease. Several others had actually been diagnosed with
severe asthma. Everyone stated that the breathing problems disappeared or
greatly improved after going on a gluten free diet.
This information is encouraging and it'll help to persuade my mother to stay
GF.
Thanks to all who responded to my post.
