This was sent to me by a celiac that doesn't have the capability to post
to the group, so asked me to post for her.  If anyone can be of
assistance on this, please let me know, and I will forward the messages
to her.

****************

  On an American Airlines flight back from Boston this weekend, the
airline magazine, American Way, had an article in it about Billy Bob
Thornton (Sling Blade fame and now married to Angelina Jolie).  He was
talking about his favorite city, Nashville, TN and what places he
frequented there.  He then mentioned that he had a tough time eating out
because of his "dairy and wheat" allergies.  He stated he had to eat
hamburgers without the bun, avoid bread and all bread products and ate
mostly meat, potatoes and salads.  Sounds like us, doesn't it!  The
article also mentioned that he was hospitalized early in life with
severe malnutrition and was living on potatoes.  Wouldn't it be a plus
if we could find out if he has CD and if he would be another high
profile spokesman for us.

I've never been able to post to this forum for some reason (I've tried
several times).  Would you post this information or ask someone how to
go about contacting Thornton?  Let me know what you think.
