<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Hi. I am Bonnie. For years I went to doctor and more doctors to find out why I had intestinal problems and what it was all about. Three - almost four years ago finally a doctor did biopsies and sent the results out of state to a high-tech lab, and I was diagnosed with Celiacs. Last year I was diagnosed with hypo-thyroid, and have just had to take synthroid - boy I wish the rest of my troubles could be taken care of that easy. And then just December 1997 I was diagnosed with anemia and diabetes II. Question: My birthday is this week, and my in-laws will be coming over. They have not been supportive from the beginning of my diet concerns, and make it a point to tell me they don't see the reason to be so strick with my dietary needs. (My oldest son - their grandson also has celiacs) But, my question does not deal with their insensitivity - I have just learned to take care of myself(and son), and let their commnets roll down my back. Now the question: do any of you have any tasty ideas for a dessert that is gluten free and also ok for a diabetic II person who is on a 1500 calorie exchange diet. I was just going to go to the store and get some different kinds of fruit and make a fruit salad - but I thought maybe there would be a better idea out there. Thanks for your help.
