Dear List members,
I am a diagnosed Celiac. My mother and sister are also gluten intolerant
- although they don't seem to as sensitive as I am. I have a few
questions that I hope you can answer.
1. I love to camp. Since being diagnosed with CD I have gone
camping
twice. My question is - do Dutch Ovens carry gluten even after they have
been washed and seasoned? Both times I have gotten sick from something -
and the only thing I can think of is that the dutch ovens are still
"contaminated" with gluten. Does that make sense to anyone?
2. This is more important. 12 years ago I had a son with Aplastic
Anemia. The Dr.s told us that a bone marrow transplant would be his
"savior". The transplant worked - but he died 8 months later from a
rejection process (graft vs. host disease). My question is - Does
Aplastic Anemia belong to the same genetic family as Celiac/Sprue? This
has been troubling me for quite some time. I just didn't have this forum
to voice my concern. Anyone out there with the same situation - Parent
has Celiac/ child has Aplastic Anemia?
