<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Recently on this list I noted in part: If there is really Celiac disease the avoidance of wheat must be very stringent and follow up testing includes checks of antibody levels yearly, as well as surveillance for diabetes, thyroid disease, neuropathy, lymphoma, and other autoimmune disease And a reader replied: I am very impressed with this statement. 17 years of celiac and other autoimmune illness and I was never watched for diabetes and thyroid disease. I had to ask and ask again to please test me and sure enough I have Type 1 Diabetes (at age 47) and thyroid disease. I just had my first antibody level checked after 17 years. Wish I would have had a doctor like you. So I said: Go to my web site www.napervillegi.com/celiac and read the tutorial and print out the cheat sheet. Give them both to your. It is a very efficient apprach for a doc to get up to speed on Celiac issues. Steve Holland, M.D. Naperville, IL *Support summarization of posts, reply to the SENDER not the CELIAC List*
