Hello list members,

What is the latest on celiacs taking echinacea?

I gather it has something to do with a danger in boosting the immune
system in people who have autoimmune disorders.

I am the mother of a 3-year-old celiac daughter who is into her second
consecutive ear infection. She took antibiotics for the first, but I'm
holding off for this one.

She just started playschool too and is going to be exposed to even more
bugs.

Would like to strengthen her with echinacea, but unsure.
