<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> I find that I can't tolerate wheat, barley, rye and maybe oats, and think I am "gluten intolerant." I've never had a test for celiac disease, but I've been avoiding all those grains mentioned since the light finally dawned on me this January. The result: no more canker sores on the lips, thank God. Today I saw an Internet site that says that some curvatures of the spine are related to celiac disease. I have a son age 17 who has developed "kyphosis" which finds the spine with a little more forward and backward curvature. I now wonder if he inherited some problem from me that is manifested in the curvatures? Does anyone have any information?
