I received several responses to my original querey:
"Does anyone know where I can get a Celiac Sprue Medical Alert Card?"
Basically, Medic-Alert provides a service which includes:
* a bracelet or necklace engraved with your disease (ie: Celaic Sprue);
* a membership #;
* an emergency response telephone # which can be called in an emergecny
situation and will allow the telephone caller to obtain more medical
information contained in your medical records at Medic-Alert. This
information is provided by you and includes emergency contacts, doctors, and
any medication which you may be taking.
IN THE UNITED STATES, call 1-800-432-5378.
There is an initial fee of $35.00 and an annual renewal fee of $15.00.
you can update your records as often as necessary at no cost.
IN CANADA, call 1-800-668-1507.
(Unsure of cost.)
