Hi to you all,
One of the members of my St. Cloud,MN, celiac support group is the
lady who writes the newsletter for the Midwest Gluten Intolerance Group
(MGIG). She recently got a letter from a member of MGIG who lives in San
Diego asking her for some help. She asked if I would post the letter to
this list to see if anyone here can help out. Send any responses you have
for Ida to me and I will forward them to her. Thank you very much. Her
letter reads as follows (word for word):
Midwest Gluten Intolerance Group
Dear Sir or Madam,
I have a favor to ask of you. I know you have several doctors as
advisors to the organization. Would you ask them to find me a doctor in
the San Diego area who is an expert in dealing with celiacs.
As I grow older I have more digestive problems. My family doctor
is trying to help but does not seem to consider my problem to be caused by
intolerance to gluten, a factor.
I have been a member of the group for 10 or 12 years, even though
we have not lived in Minnesota for 28 years. I have received a great deal
of help from the newsletter. You people are providing a wonderful service
to many people.
We are both 87 and living in a Retirement Complex that offers 3
levels of Health Care. We are in an independent living unit.
Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated.
Ida
