Hi, all.  I am newly diagnosed (little over a month)  I've seen some recent
posts re:  hepatitis and celiac disease.  I have a specific question:  I
have a brother diagnosed with "Hepatitis C of Unknown Origin" that has been
in an "extremely active phase".  The last update I received was "The virus
is extremely active and at stage 3."  He has been given a "life span" of
approx. 5-10 years IF he agrees to go on meds 3 x p/week that are supposedly
almost as bad as the disease itself in that they are similar to chemo. drugs
and cause terrible side effects.  Does anyone know if there is a definite
link between Celiac and Hep.C?  Thanks in advance for any info. - Debbie
