        My family too.  My aunt had "ulcerative colitis" that was prob. due to
wheat allergy.  My grandma died of colon cancer and had many allergies.  My
mom was once diagnosed with "celiac disease", another wheat-related bowel
problem.  I was told I have flattened mucosa in my bowel, but they weren't
sure what it meant.  I am fortunate that I had fatigue from the wheat.  Who
knows how long it would have taken me to track down the source of my bowel
complaints?

My other brother died of stomach cancer at age 67.
        Did he drink a lot?  Was he type A blood?

        That's why I put the diagnoses in quotes. They really weren't too sure of
the causes of stomach trouble back then.


        Listen to your body.

        If you were my family or patient, I would have you on several supplements
too. Was your heart attack due to a clot, artery spasm or atherosclerotic?
