Hello,

1.  It is necessary for me to have a hysterectomy.  I was having recurring
pain to the right of my navel on and off for a year and a half during the
period while I was becoming gluten-free.  I had an EGD w/biopsy in Sept.
and am happy to say all is well.  That information led my (new to me in
Sept.) very savvy female gastro to send me immed. for a cat scan and then
to my female gyn. as the cat scan showed a cyst.  This was followed up by
an ultrasound that told more of the story combined with my medical
records.  Come to find out much more is involved and I will be feeling a
whole lot better after this "temporary inconvenience for a permanent
improvement."  Enough said about me.

Just please heed my warning:

                Please keep up with all those gyn visits and routine
tests along with Your healing and dealing as a celiac.  Very important
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2.  Would the person who posted the request for info re: celiacs having a
high tolerance for pain please summarize or let me know the responses to
your post.  Given pain is a very vital signal from the body/brain, if this
is the case for many of us, as it is for me, we need to be very vigilant.

Many thanks.

God bless.


Mary B.
