Her gluten levels were higher after being off gluten for 2 years than before she was diagnosed. It's a crock, these naturopaths are charlatans grifting people out of a lot of money.

If I had to choose between a naturopath and a doctor in regards to who is going to take blood and get up in me for a biopsy of my intestine, I'm going to go ahead and go the doctor route.
