My mother in law sent me the following question regarding a good
friend of hers.  I might add that her friend did ask her doctor
whether it could be celiac sprue and his reply was something along
the line that it couldn't be that since celiac is a disease in
children only.........Does anyone have any input on this subject?  I
was also going to search some other sites on the internet as well.
Thanks!
