Thank you so much! I will read it

[jenvan]

Good articles! But can I just say I am reading the one on cancer and celiac disease and am getting myself really freaked out about it !

[jenvan]

Seriously!

(I read "Association of celiac disease and intestinal lymphomas and other cancers")

[lbsteenwyk]

Thank you so much for posting this. It's a great resource. Your Doc was awesome to send it to you!

[Bette]

Hey Michelle,

You are our resident researcher here!!! Great informative articles. Now if I only I could get some of the doctors to read it.

Thanks,

Bette

fascinating reading! I am especially (pleasantly) surprised at the part on how it is diagnosed. That there is no one specific test that can either definitively diagnose or exclude celiac in every individual. And also that it mentions the unreliability of the seriologic tests in children under 5. My daughter was 3 when we went through the (horrific) testing procedure for her... Oh if we had only known then what we know now!

[marycubs]

Thank you for posting ! I am reading everything and anything that I can about this disease - (I'm newly diagnosed)...

Thanks to other posts I bought Wheat Free, Worry Free....by Danna Korn and Shelly Case's gluten-free Diet: Comprehensive Resource Guide. I've read about 1/2 of Danna Korns book and think it's great - she writes in a way that makes it easier for me to understand the why behind this disease/symptoms.

If you haven't already read it, I recommend it to others.

Great link....it is good to hear that you have a good doctor. Mine has never dealt with a celiac patient before so I am giving this link to him. Maybe we all need to educate our doctors a little more so that they understand what we deal with every day

Thanks

Penny

Penny, more likely your doc. has dealt with celiac patients but didn't know it, many of us are the flag flyers, hang in there,

Michelle, your doc. actually wants you to know this stuff, truly amazing! Just goes to prove, good news is never far away! Am going to disseminate it further (without your name on).

[Guest Viola]

Thank you Michelle, I will spend part of my evening reading this site!

[srdover]

Thanks for the info. I WILL be reading the cancer and celiac disease. My dad died at 43 from T-cell lymphoma and I am rapidly approaching that age myself!

[Emme999]

Thanks for the thanks But I am just thrilled to have such a great doctor who is so unbelievably caring & considerate. She told me that I'm her first celiac patient and I think she is actually kind of fascinated by it. But - more than anything - she is just incredibly nice! She called me a couple of weeks ago to tell me about some test results and was really excited for me because she'd found out that Ben & Jerry's is (mostly) gluten-free. I thought that was so sweet! Of course, I reminded her that I'm allergic to dairy.. (To which she responded, "Damn!" tee-hee)

Anyway - I am incredibly lucky. She diagnosed me while she was working on a paper / presentation on celiac disease (probably for school - she's a nurse practitioner at the Univ. of Utah). After we had done about 15 other tests (diabetes, thyroid, HIV, etc) she called one day and said, "You know, I'm working on this paper - and the whole time I'm writing it I'm thinking 'I bet this is what Michelle has!'"

I knew right then that she was wonderful - I mean, how many other doctors think about their patients when they *aren't* at work?

I'll be sure and pass on any other information I receive!

I love you guys! *sniff*
