It enabled : me to go wheat-free. I was badly anaemic and : had been in hospital needing 6 pints of : blood. My blood count went back to normal : within 6 weeks of coming off wheat and has : stayed up ever since. : : So it is a big learning curve for me when I : go back to eating food, since everything has : to be wheat-free. I need to make all my : meals from scratch, which isn't a problem : just a necessity. : : It means I can never go out and have : pizza/pasta/bread/pies or anything else!! : Should help keep me under control.
