<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> For those who are still keeping tabs on whether we are having any success in getting Atlanta, Georgia gastroenterologist Dr. Cynthia Rudert on Oprah or one of the newsmagazine shows, I have some good news to report. We have a fellow celiac on the list who knows Rich Gannon's wife personally. They are in the same celiac support group and she talks with her frequently. Mrs. Gannon asked that Dr. Rudert give her a call so that they can discuss the possibility of teaming up Rich Gannon with Dr. Rudert for one of these shows. Sounds very promising! Having a celebrity celiac spokesperson such as Gannon, and a physician who has one of the largest celiac practices in the U.S. in front of the general public would bring so much recognition to our disease. And it would help many people who are floundering out there, looking for a diagnosis for all of the mystifying symptoms they have that could be celiac related. On another note, Dr. Rudert was just interviewed by Betsy Hernick (not sure of the spelling of her last name) for the Chicago Tribune. This article on celiac sprue will be coming out sometime in November, and you will be able to read it online. Dr. Rudert was not sure on what day in November it would appear. For any of you living in the Chicago area, please let all of us on the list know about the date if you are able to contact this writer at the Tribune. Christie Schroeter in TX
