Although this comment is off the subject, sort of, I can't contain my
amazement. I am a 44 year old celiac who has been diagnosed since
infancy.  Celiac seemed to leave me at age 11 and returned when I was
25.  At that time I had an intestinal biopsy for a conclusive diagnosis.
What blew me away was the spelling of Miss Roben's name.  I too spell my
name Roben and have never come across that spelling before.  Is it
possible there is another celiac sufferer that also spells Roben with an "E"?
The coincidence astounds me.

Now for my celiac question.  Does anyone out there have a problem with
weight control and fluid retention?  Until I was 25 and the symptoms
recurred I had no problems with mt weight.  Once diagnosed and on a
gluten free diet the  problem began. I have been trying to lose or
maintain my weight since 1975 and struggle daily. Currently I would say I
am 20 pounds over what I would consider to be healthy.

Thanks, Roben
