celiacs in general."

Well, I'd say it isn't meaningless to us but it's an important
differentiation to sort out. I have been trying to keep straight which
foods are causing which reactions, too, so that i don't panic and
associate symptoms with my gut being attacked and deterioration. But at
the same time, it can't be good for a healing gut to have to deal with
such reactions, so in that sense, I think the reaction is "significant."
Thanks for an interesting read, Tom. Deb
