[Everything doTERRA] Re: low iron

Hi I have Celicac also and have found if you add a liquid Vit B 12 to
your regimen it helps with the tiredness and anemia. I also have a
rough time with spinach and use the baby lettuce that you find in the
organic section of stores, that works really well in the smoothies. I
also suggest you read the book Breaking the Vicious Cycle, and they
also have a website you can connect with other celiacs and get tons of
info. plus recipes etc. If you stay gluten free your life totally
changes in sooo many ways, give yourself time for the gut to heal
also.
