Hi Folks:
What a response to my question - Can you be overweight and then diagnosed
with Celiac Sprue? Received 74 replies - 63 were overweight when they
were diagnosed. Some diagnosed serum testing, most biopsy and some self-
diagnosed.
Advise - change doctors - "Bad doctor"
- Educate your doctor
- Educate yourself
Several referred to Dr. Joseph Murray's presentation available at
www.celiac.com click on "Celiac in the 90's" - which I did - gave copy to friend
with this problem.
I copied all the E-mail letters off and gave them to my friend in our support
group and truly it was the first time I have seen her smile. The encouragement
from this list has been overwhelming and I thank you all very much. I will not
be able to E-mail each person individually but hope that you all read this and
know how very much you all are appreciated. Thanks from my friend and myself.
Love & prayers,
Ann in Bradley, Maine USA
