I have Celiac's Disease which is When individuals with CD ingest gluten, the villi, tiny hair-like projections in the small intestine that absorb nutrients from food, are damaged. This is due to an immunological reaction to gluten. Damaged villi do not effectively absorb basic nutrients -- proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, minerals, and, in some cases, water and bile salts. If CD is left untreated, damage to the small bowel can be chronic and life threatening, causing an increased risk of associated disorders -- both nutritional and immune related. Due to this i occasionally have stomach pains ,joint/bone pain, and back pain. Does anyone have an idea if this could qualify. I am curently looking into it else where on the internet.

thanks....

If it causes chronic pain, but this is better answered by a qualified physician. Ask your personal doctor if they will sign under the chronic pain relief aspect. :thumbsup:
