Carol's concern about her mother is painful to read about.  Perhaps one of
the first issues the new Celiac Coalition should tackle is the business of
hospital dietitians who know nothing about feeding celiacs.  Being in the
hospital is stressful at best.  If near starvation, or food worse than the
airlines attempt at gluten free diet, is doled out by hospitals, how are we
to get well?  How do we get going on this as a group?
