Thanks for response Molly. I am working on reducing inflamation and hope it goes away. He had a hip flair when accidentally glutened 2 years ago that had him on crutches for 3 weeks. What concerned me about this was the three weeks in between the gluten episode and inflamation. The pain extends to his fingers, wrist, elbow chest collar bone etc... NOTHING outside that area. I am using Krill Oil, vita e, vita d, clorella, curcumin, boswellia, glutathione and a few other remedies. Diet, etc.. Any suggestions would be helpful. You seem to have some insight.
