I was hospitalized over the weekend for atrial fibrillation and chest pain.
I had a good hospital experience at St. Joseph hospital in Joliet IL.  My
celiac was taken very seriously and I could not have had better medical
care.  (Dietary was still a nightmare but I brought my own food.)  Seems as
if some of my problems could be traced to a low magnesium intake.  I do take
magnesium however, it does not seem to be doing the trick for me.  Slow-mag
was recommended and we have been researching it.  The manufacturer did say
gluten-free - but I see a number of questionable ingredients.  I am curious
if anyone out there takes slow-mag - especially anyone who has extreme
reactions to gluten.  This med is a "distributed by" product that is
manufactured in France and licensed to another company.  I get nervous with
so many middle men.

Also, I am wondering if anyone has had recent reactions to any Nature Made
vitamins.  I am in the middle of my first extended celiac respone in years
and I am having difficulty finding the culprit.  I am losing weight rapidly
with almost continous diarrhea.

Lastly, has anyone on the list made use of the Universtiy of Chicago's
Celiac clinic?  I have been trying to connect with them to no avail.
