I have non-tropical sprue, and I find it
difficult to get enough grain servings in my diet.
What should I do?

Characteristics:
The Gluten Free Diet eliminates gluten, which is the protein found in wheat, oats, rye, buckwheat and barley. Strict removal from the diet is stressed in order to alleviate symptoms and restore the integrity of the intestinal mucosa.
