<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Jerri, Sorry to hear about your rough road! Glad you are on the right track now. Yeah, I eat about every two hours. I was about to starve to death from not absorbing-malnutrition, while overweight. Then was underweight. Now am pretty stable. You may need B12 shots and folic acid orally while you heal-it takes 6 months to a year for intestine to heal after going strictly gluten free. Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy Joyous and Peaceful 2002 Jerri!!! Annie
