Parallel to the recent messages about a Diet Exemption Card and what to tell
our Pharmacist, I would like a few ideas presented, please, on what could be
stated on a MEDICAL ALERT BRACELET, OR NECKLACE.  It occurred to me that if
there was a medical emergency and I was alone, unable to communicate, no one
could tell the hospital, medics, etc. that I have celiac sprue and need a
gluten free diet and drugs.

Now what do we state on such a bracelet:  "I have Celiac Sprue; cannot digest
wheat, oats, rye or barley (gluten)."??

 Do Dr. Murray or Cindy the Pharmacist in Texas have any suggestions as well?

  Could the words diet exemption be put on it, too?  Or whatever it is that
is stated on a diet exemption card.  My reasoning, that the bracelet can stay
on our wrists, or bracelets around our necks, however, cards get lost.

 I telephoned the 1 800 number yesterday of a company that produces these and
it is sending me a form to fill  out.  It can be five lines, 20 spaces a
line, however if there is that much writing, the print/engraving will be
quite small.

Thank you all in advance.
