Hi Jenni:
I have been diagnosed with endometriosis & had laser surgery last
January. I can't eat wheat, that I know; but I will have tests to see
if it might be more. (CD) I have many other health complaints and am
suspecting that I may have celiac disease.
Did you get any responses from other women that have both endo. &
celiac disease? I would be curious to know. Thanks in advance
Sue
