Re: and coeliac disease

[Guest guest]

Hi. I am currently being worked up for chronic pancreatitis and I

also have celiac disease. I was wondering if you could tell me your

and at times makes me so very nauseated like I am now. I'm at the

point of desperation and need to figure out what is going on and

looking for any answers I can get.

Thanks!
