My son went to a GI specialist after I was diagnosed. He had some symptoms
but was not too concerned because they were not severe. Because he is about
10-15 pounds overweight, the GI was sceptical. He did an endoscopy, but did
not take a biopsy. He decided the problem was just a malfunctioning pylorus


Also, my brother has lymphoma, and a member of the list is sending my bro's
doctors some info. on the connection, but so far the doctors say that if
the lymphoma isn't in the small intestine, it ain't cd. (One tumor was in
his neck, but the large one was attatched to his kidney.

Two of my aunts and one grandmother (all maternal side) were diabetic.

One of the above aunts was epileptic.

On my dad's side, his grandfather, father, mother and brother all died from
gi cancers. He bled to  death intestinally, four days out of the hospital.
(I sometimes get severe intestinal bleeding.) His one surviving brother has
prostate cancer.


A cousin on my dad's side has been diagnosed with schizophrenia and/or
bi-polar disorder at different times in her life. Her daughter has epilepsy,
a severe hearing problem, and learning problems.

All of the above ailments are statistically related to cd. Few medicine men
listen. I feel for you.

Hang in,
Ron
