Hi all.  I love this group - it's been a lifeline for me.

This is a question for a close friend of mine.  Her husband had colon
cancer with the appropriate chemo/Ileostomy/reversal/more chemo.  He's
doing really well.  He actually went out to play hockey the other day.
It's been perhaps about 4 months since his reversal.   Initially, he lost
tons of weight but is gaining slowly.

I was wondering if anyone on this list might have had a similar
experience.  My friend is concerned about her husband.  He has very
frequent bowel movements and I've been trying to help her research a diet
that would help slow his processes down.  Their daughter lives out of town
and is a doctor.  They visisted her recently and she suggested that he have
a celiac blood test next time he goes in for a check up.  I found that
interesting.

I'd love to hear anyone's input.  I guess the trauma to the system could
result in celiac.  I suggested to my friend that she monitor and record
what he eats.  Do you think an elimination diet would help at this stage?

Any suggestions I will pass on to my friend who's been a real trooper
through all of this.

Thanks ahead of time for any insights you bring.

Enjoy your gf dinners.  Lynn
