Dear all,

I'm currently in the middle of a court case regarding an accident that I
sustained four years ago. The insurance company has tried to argue in court
that my ongoing hip and spine problems are due to fibromyalgia, which I
have had for 12 years, not the injury. I went on a gf diet two years ago
and all my fibromyalgia symptoms disappeared within three weeks, and
reappear within one week of eating gluten, so my doctors know that my
symptoms are an autoimmune reaction to the gluten. Does anyone have any
good information, or even similar stories, on this matter that I can give
to my lawyer? The magistrate has never heard of gluten, let alone what an
allergy to it can cause, so any input would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers, Dee
