/s Hey, I'm leaving for Ft. Myers Beach this Saturday 1/5/08.  I could use this 
info too.  If I don't find out before I leave, I'll be looking for restaurants and 
GF food stores in the area myself.  I'll let you know what I found when I return 
after January 12.   Also see archived message 067590 or search the archive 
for Sanibel.

I am a newbie to this site.  I just had an EGD to rule out Celiac but the GI doc 
only took biopsies of my esophagus and stomach.  He did not read my chart 
and because I mentioned that my GERD, which I've had for years, had been 
very bad lately.  He just assumed the scope was to see the status of that!  I 
went in today for the blood antibody tests, but I understand they are often 
inconclusive.  

No matter what the results I plan to try going GF to see if that resolves the 
many issues I have with my GI system as well as lesions on my brain that are 
unexplained, lymphocytic colitis, neurological problems, constant fatigue, joint 
pain, hypothyroidism, etc.   I am currently on disability because my work 
performance was becoming very poor due to my being ill and unable to 
concentrate or perform even simple and well known parts of my job as a web 
designer.  Luckily the company where I worked for 30 yrs. put me on disability 
and between Social Security and the company insurance I am still earning 2/3 
of my salary.  I can continue on the payroll until I retire and will still receive 
my pension, etc.   This has been very frustrating so I look forward to the 
understanding and support of people on this listserver.   Happy New Year, 
Sara V
