Hi to you all,
        One of the members of my St. Cloud,MN, celiac support group is the
lady who writes the newsletter for the Midwest Gluten Intolerance Group
(MGIG).  She recently got a letter from a member of MGIG who lives in San
Diego asking her for some help.  She asked if I would post the letter to
this list to see if anyone here can help out.  Send any responses you have
for Ida to me and I will forward them to her.  Thank you very much.  Her
letter reads as follows (word for word):
 
Midwest Gluten Intolerance Group
Dear Sir or Madam,
        I have a favor to ask of you.  I know you have several doctors as
advisors to the organization.  Would you ask them to find me a doctor in
the San Diego area who is an expert in dealing with celiacs.
        As I grow older I have more digestive problems.  My family doctor
is trying to help but does not seem to consider my problem to be caused by
intolerance to gluten, a factor.
        I have been a member of the group for 10 or 12 years, even though
we have not lived in Minnesota for 28 years.  I have received a great deal
of help from the newsletter.  You people are providing a wonderful service
to many people.
        We are both 87 and living in a Retirement Complex that offers 3
levels of Health Care.  We are in an independent living unit.
        Any help you can provide will be greatly appreciated.
                                        Ida
