I was recently diagnosed with gluten intolerance, but I don't, yet, have
full-blown celiac disease.  At least none of the testing has shown it.
 However, I do have chronic fatigue, allergies, fibromyalgia, periodic
limb movements in sleep, migraines, and the list goes on.  I understand
the mechanism by which celiac can cause some of these symptoms, in that
the intestines are damaged and nutrient absorbption is impaired.  But
what is the link, if any, between gluten-intolerance and the associated
auto-immune reaction, which also showed up positive in my testing with
Enterolab, and these symptoms?

Any experience to share?  If there is already a summary on this
question, please just point me in the right direction.

Thanks,
Liz in Texas
