Hello, Listmates,

First, thanks very much to the many people who wrote offering their
stories of symptoms and diagnosis for the short overview article I am
writing for Remedy Magazine (2.3 million subscribers).

I could use a few more stories from men. The people who wrote details
were almost to a person, female. But men get Celiac too, don't there?

Here's an excerpt from my original post:

I would like to have some case history material, using real stories
and real names, that highlight how elusive the symptoms are. I think
it's still true that while many more doctors know about Celiac than
did when I was diagnosed ten years ago, many in the medical field
still think gastro symptoms and thinness are the only and the
invariable hallmarks of the condition.

I am guessing also that it is still true that not only doctors, but
many who later learn they have Celiac, ignore or misattribute
symptoms like canker sores, joint pains and fatigue because there is
not yet great awareness of the array of Celiac symptoms.

For purposes of this article, I need people who were biopsy diagnosed
in the last few years, or diagnosed via striking blood test results.

best regards,
Mary Brown
