Hmm.  Karen, I'm glad your son is doing so well, but I feel I should
point out that I gluten-tested Heinz ketchup and it came out positive
for gluten.  It was an old bottle though, so perhaps they've changed
the formula, or perhaps it is different in Canada.  Still, I'm not sure
that recovery alone is enough of a guideline, you don't know what might
still be happening to him internally.
