HI,
I have been reading the digest version of this list for a few weeks
and find it very informative. This is my first posting and I have
questions that have probably been addressed previously.
First I am looking for a definition and symptoms of celiac diease.
Also is this interchangable for gluten intolerant? What is Dermatitis
Herpeteformis (DH)?
Second are there standard lab tests (ie blood, any other?) that anyone
recommends?
Third how do I locate a doctor who is familliar w/CD and the proper
forms of testing?
Fourth how do I find a local support group (I live in LA)?
I realize these questions have probably been addressed previously but
this is all new to me. I have been suffering from fatigue and GI
problems severely for 2 years. At this point I am constantly bloated,
have sharp lower GI pain and am allergic to quite a few foods. My
diet consits mostly of brown rice and fresh produce, beans and little
else. I have been suspecting Gluten Intolerance for a while though I
am confused because I don't seem to react adversly to products
w/wheat, oats or barley. In general though, I have very little of
these products in my diet. Any information you can supply is greatly
appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Jennifer Peltier
