Thanks everyone. This insidious disease is much more common than people want to believe. My partner died in July, having Celiac Disease and Herpetiformis. His family still doesn't believe Celiac is life threatening. His having to stay away from gluten was a joke with them. While I was cleaning up his hospital room, he was transported home. When...

Thanks, Karen. I will get some of those posters and pass them out. The love of my life died on July 24, 2004 of complications due to liver failure. He only learned of his Celiac Disease a year ago. Because, of Celiac, though, his liver was more easily comprised when he took pain medication with codeine, due to a surgery. I placed an awareness ad...

What did you you mean by having a gluten accident? Does that mean you ate or drank something with gluten in it? My fiance had Celiac Sprue and Celiac Herpetiformis, and, he broke out externally and internally with bloody sores, but, it only happened when he was unfaithful about his diet.........................He died July 24. 2004, he was 54. Some think...

My fiance has this problem, but, it is especially a nuisance at night. His sleep his disturbed every 2 hours. He is 54 years old, so, I recommended he take saw palmetto, which is for the prostate. It helped, so, it wasn't every hour, but, it hasn't gotten any better. He has been to the urinary doctor, and, he says to quit alcohol, but, he doesn't believe...

Just a note to say melatonin helped my fiance be able to sleep deeper on the very first night. He still woke up often, but, was able to go back to sleep quickly, whereas, before, he was up a long time. Of course, he has only taken it for 2 nights, so, I hope he will even do better as time goes on.

Alexa, thank you, so very much for responding and telling us about Melatonin. My fiance has severe Celiac disease and is in dire need of sleep. I will go to the health food store, today, so, he can try it. I had learned about Melatonin, some years ago, but, forgot all about it. I'm so excited, I can hardly stand it. Thanks again, Alexa.

Thanks for all the suggestions everyone, but, the one from you, Kathleen, I am printing, as I type. Thanks so much. Faith

Will this book be available in bookstores? Faith

I was watching Dr. Phil, some months ago, and his wife mentioned she eats gluten free. So, I was thinking she had Celiac Sprue disease, but, I can't know, for sure. Faith

I do think, after, you stick 100 per cent to eating and drinking gluten free, your diarhea and stomach pains will go away. I'm sure, everyone is different, as to how long it takes, but, my fiance, improved within days and continued. Hang in there and your health will improve. Now, to address the issue of your husband. If, I may suggest, that you make...

Ilive in the Redding area of northern California. I learned about Celiac Disease in May of 2003. I have been cooking gluten-free, since then, for my dear friend. Finally, he has even quit beer. He would love to go out and eat, and, I have, recently, learned that Outback has a gluten-free menu, so, that is wonderful. More and more, he is realizing...

Dear Kelley, The love of my love was diagnosed with Celiac disease 6 months, ago. He, evidently, had this disease for, at least, the last 12 years, and, perhaps, for 20 years. After, researching, a tremendous amount, on the internet, I have discovered, the U.S. is the worst country to have Celiac Disease diagnosed. In, Italy, I have learned, all...
