August 2014 update, keeping off gluten

Hi everyone. Hope you are doing well. Sarah, thanks so much for your note; I'm so glad you are doing well. Keep it up. I'm glad this blog can help someone. Feel free to ask my any questions.
An update on my health-I've been doing great. Keeping off gluten has done wonders for the symptoms I had for years. The constant pain, sore throats, and intermittent lung pain are gone. I still get low grade fevers due to the neutropenia but it stays between 99-100.  But I feel great! The diet can be hard but I'm able to make it work and have been getting better at it. Please note: I do not believe that gluten causes neutropenia nor going off gluten fixes it. But the other symptoms that I have been dealing with for 7 years seem to have gone away. I do believe gluten can cause issues in some people. Anyway, just wanted to clarify. Again, hope you are all doing well. Take care. Kat
