Dear Susanna,

I have been absent from this list for several weeks so there's no telling
what I've missed.  Your e-mail sent up a red flag though.  Did anyone
mention celiac disease?  I first suspected that I had it from reading info
on the internet about allergies.  My symptoms are very similar to yours.  I
also avoid milk products and, although it has taken more than 2 years, I am
finally free of the horrible symptoms and feeling wonderful most of the
time.
