My 78 year old mother has adult onset celiac disease, lost weight
down to 70 lb and has never regained it despite sticking to diet.
We were told that older people often don't get very good healing
once the intestinal lining is damaged. She needs care in an
assisted living facility at this point, but most of these say they
cannot accomodate a GF diet - institutional cooking, etc.  Does
anyone have any experience dealing with this kind of issue (i.e.
elderly relative with gluten intolerance needing care)?.
 
Thanks,
 
Mitch
