Katz Gluten Free-Part 2

Folic Acid vs. Methylfolate
I remember when I was pregnant and at every single OB appointment I was asked, “are you taking folic acid”. It was apparently the most important thing to my OB’s nurses.

There is this joke when you are a new mom to just “put some coconut oil on it” for just about everything.
