Hi--I found three great places to eat in Maui. The best was the General Store in Haili'imaile--helpful waitresses and fabulous homemade food from chefs who know all the ingredients. They even called the people who made the coconut ice cream just to make sure of the ingredients and I hadn't even asked them to. We went there twice. Another is Joe's, up above...

I'm an elementary teacher and I have celiac. I've only had a few kids on 504 plans (eg for diabetes) but I think it might help. 504 plans just mean getting your child on an IEP for a health reason--it's called other health impaired. It would at least give all the people involved with your son time (since you're a teacher you know how rare that is) to sit...

I love Dr. Ben Pataroque. He is in Tualatin across from Meridian Park Hospital and just off of I-5. He is not the world's authority on weird diseases (I have celiac and fibromyalgia) so I've been bringing him articles for several years; I think he actually reads them. He is kind, patient, and a very good listener. He spends a lot of time with you and...

gastroenterologist Dr. Alan Kaynard 503 297 8081 near St. Vincent's in Beaverton, Oregon I sure wish I'd known him when I was diagnosed 7 years ago! He is patient, listens well, and answers odd questions very respectfully. He did all the followup blood/nutritional type tests that my former gastroenterologist (who sent a letter telling me I had celiac...

I was 46, but I'd had dangerously unpredictable digestion since college. One doctor told me I had irritable bowel--I said, "Isn't that just a medical term for we don't know what's wrong with you?" I gave up milk and that helped. I started eating bananas, rice, and eggs before any major event as they were the only foods that I knew didn't make me sick....

I have two thoughts. Are you improving? A lot of celiacs don't tolerate dairy because of the intestinal damage--that is where the enzyme for digesting dairy is secreted. Some celiacs regain the ability to digest dairy after they heal and some don't. Some--hopefully you--never have a problem. My other thought is that most celiacs are very low on calcium...

It might help to read more on this site about the damage that can occur if you have celiac disease and you keep eating gluten. A lot of us were undiagnosed for years (probably at least 15 years for me) and are paying the price of prolonged nutritional deficiencies or neurological damage. If you go gluten free again stock up on other things you really...

That is exactly what it did to me. I'd log on with same everything, it would say welcome frec, then switch me back to being a guest again. It just rejected me again even with the new email and new password and ID. I left Explorer and used Mozilla to get here and that works. Thank you both very much. And thanks Scott for trying to help. I know you're...

Thank you. I'm obviously a computer whiz. I've been wrestling with celiac.com for two months now...I missed having access!

Sorry to bother you twice, but my address is on my personal profile page. I had to give it to register but it shouldn't be on my profile. I can't get it off.

I got a new computer in January. It died in a power outage--very sad. I still had the same email, but when I tried to log on to the forum I couldn't. It recognized me and my password but always sent me back to the Guest register here page. I could read the forum but not post. I've been quite frustrated. Anyway, I finally got new email (for other reasons...
