Reduce inflammation

Consider getting a blood test for celiac disease, an autoimmune disorder that causes food malabsorption by flattening gut villi, tiny fingerlike projections that aid digestion. Also get tested for gluten sensitivity, which causes gut inflammation and is far more common than celiac disease. And eat high calcium, anti-inflammatory foods such as green leafy vegetables (spinach, kale, chard, collards, romaine lettuce, and dandelion).
