I am confused.  I received laser treatments for diabetic retinopathy.
As part of the testing, I was given a florescent angiogram...and guess
who got a celiac reaction?  I asked the group about this and a very nice
and helpful nurse who did this procedure said that the colors were corn
based.

Today, at a follow=up, I brought the dr up to date on what I had found
out.  He claimed that there was no way you could get a celiac reaction
to something that was injected into a vein, that then went to the
kidneys and was flushed out.  He said that it never got into the
digestive tract.

Any comments?  It seems to me that if you are allergic, your whole body
is allergic and reacts.   I'll summarize
