Armetta, Lisa, and Laura, I want to thank all of you for thinking of this for Lynne and Dave. I don't know how many letters you rounded up. I do hope they take it to heart what we have all said. Not only does Lynne need this but she deserves this.

Armetta, I thank you for your gift of compassion, generosity and the knowledge of "it's just the right thing to do". Good things happen, to good people making it happen.

Thoughts to you, Lisa

I should have posted this earlier:

All the little pieces are coming together and they should be ready to submit VERY soon. It is a technical process and full of lots of detail. Hopefully, within a week or so, the whole package will be sent off and submitted.

All of those who care or have written a letter, it is a gift that you bring. Thank you :)

Armetta, is force behind this project. Hopes and prayers could make it happen. But, lets get there first.

Lisa

I will post with any news or updates.

Lynne and Dave have been sick with the flu and Lynne had a bad case of pneunonia and is recovering and feeling better. They are looking for a good sunny day to arrange the video.

Lynne, you can chime in here......... :D

Laura has done a great deal of work getting the letters in perfect submission. Thanks you so much Laura for you hard work and a lot of you private time.

Armetta has the package ready to go when the video is complete.

We are wishful, for Lynne. It would be soooo cool.

Armetta or I will let you know when the package has been submitted and you guy will be the first (well, second) to know!

Lisa

      Celiac for dummies

      I was just diagnosed at 26 after accidental finding. Any simple tips for newbies? Things a non celiac would never think of? I already went through my prescriptions and identified some medications that have gluten. Is there a beginners guide? Celiac for dummies?

      Would it be rude to ask your age?

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.

      Wow! Thank you @trents I  really appreciate the responses. This line of diagnosis has me questioning a lot of symptoms over the course of my life. Very validating and very much a bummer at the same time.
