See that no one causes you to err from this way of the Teaching, since apart from God it teaches you.
The construction of the sentence above is awkward in this, probably more literal, translation. I’ve read a number of the [...]
I don’t really have any particular comment to make on this. It’s from the Mayo Clinic and is an excellent short video about celiac. It’s the best I’ve seen at explaining the disease in five minutes.
