I am wondering if it is possible to have celiac disease and have a normal
small intestinal biopsy. The reason for the question--my son ir WWW site. Our address
is: http://rdz.stjohns.edu/library/medic/celiac/index.html [...]37_8Mar199704:06:[log in to unmask] 9703A 3355 13 24_communion wafer and [log in to unmask], 7 Mar 1997 23:03:56 -0500587_- <<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>>

Not to contradict anyone however I am under the understanding that those of
us with celiac sprue are not to eat any gluten that we are aware of. A "low"
gluten communion wafer would not fall into that category. Also, it was
carefully pointed out to me that if there is any dipping of the wafer into
the wine by those celebrating communion, then the wine, too, is
"contaminated". I am making my communion wafers this weekend. Sarah in

Getting towards or perhaps in menopause, I am concerned over the use of
calcium tablets. Since celiac disease affects your bone density, I
thought I was playing safe when I bought a brand from a health food store
that says no artificial colors, flavors or preservative, no chemical
solvents, yeast or gluten. These are made from oyster shells. While
reading in a vitamin book, the book states that oyster shells are not a
good source. One claims calcium carbonate is best and some say calcium
citrate is better. Does any [...]35_8Mar199702:15:[log in to unmask] 9703B 74 27 20_GF gourmet flour [log in to unmask], 7 Mar 1997 21:43:05 +0000522_- <<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>>

This "no comment" to gluten free verification from the huge Kraft
(America) corporation is bothersome. What do you say we launch a "nice"
campaign of letter writing, or friendly call asking them to....please
validate gluten free status of their products.

The squeaky wheel gets the grease! Maybe if they recieved hundreds of
letters from people saying they would love to give Kraft their business,
if only the company would verify Gf status. We can also point out that

Dear listmemembers,

I'm sorry this took so long, but being an AOL subscriber, I had some trouble
retrieving mail......

Here is a summary of rsuggestions I received about being itchy- due to DH ,
eczema, or other conditions when one cannot or will not take Dapsone, or it
is not yet working...

RX:
cortisone creams - Triamcinolone, Temovate E, Elocon, DesOwen, Diprolene,
Kenalog, Westcort, et al... various responses. A few people said they
actually worked. Many commented that they began to react to the cortisone and
that it even  made things worse.
Oral prednisone - half-n-half. It apparently worked for some, not for others.

OverTheCounter:
Pills- Benadryl, Sudafed, Atarax (generic is hydroxizine) Various replies.
What worked for one, did not work for another.
Anti itch creams: Benadryl  - wroks a bit, then makes it worse, Pramegel and
Itch-X (Sold at Walmart vert cheeep) both contain pramoxine - pretty good
anti-itch - my itch gel of preference. Fresh aloe vera also suggested.
Skin Cap- a spray for eczema, psoriasis conditions. Has been sold in Europe
for years apparently and has just been approved for US. Contains zinc
pyrithione (?) Have only read about it. haven't found anyone who has tried
it.
Softening Lotions - Lubriderm, Cetaphil, Eucerin, Emu Oil, bathing in Almond
oil. I found Calendula Cream by Nature Works a good buy for softening because
I'm so allergic to other things. I guess here it's best to hit the health
food stores and just read labels to find creams that don't contain anything
you cannot have. Apparently Calendula (Marigold) is very soothing to skin.
Other:
Vitamin A, Fatty Acids (Evening Primrose Oil, Omega 3, 6, and 9 oils, Flax
seed oil)
UV light treatments (called PUVA I think)
cold compresses - I've spent many a night with ice packs trying to calm my
skin so I      could sleep!
water purifier/water softener - We plan on checking out Sears for one soon.
Anyone know anything about these?
A vet shampoo called Histacalm
Homeopathic Pills - Sulphur, urtica Urens, Natrum Sulphuricum, Hepar
Sulphuris Calcareum.

I think that does it. Apparently what works for one does not necessarily work
for someone else. I hope someone can get a workable solution here. Thanks for
all the advice!
