Hello, 
I just wanted to thank everyone for their help over the years since my 
diagnosis of CD.  It turns out that my "gluten reactions" that I thought had 
turned into "celiac neuropathy" and were made wrose by altitude were 
actually hypokalemic periodic paralysis.  I am a biopsy diagnosed celiac, but 
for so long we were barking up the wrong tree thinking that I needed more 
b12, to be more vigilant about my diet, treat yeast, other food sensitivities, 
etc.  Hypo PP is a rare inherited muscle disease and attacks are related to 
diet, which is why it was so hard to separate out from CD.

I hope that someone might learn from me and take care of other unrelated 
health concerns before they get too severe.  I had to be very persistant to 
finally get this second diagnosis.  It was hard to believe that anything was 
really wrong with me because the cold numbers of lab tests always came back 
normal. Then we realized that we were not testing for the right thing. 

Stick to your guns! And good luck to all, 

Emily
