<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> (Responding to BasicBeti's info about her son Jeff and Down Syndrome etc)Your responce to being medicated for stress was RIGHT ON! Your post has brought me to the edge of tears; my heart goes out to you. I have a grown healthy highly intelligent successful daughter; my life for 45 years was full of problems including my unknown celiac disease and I made some difficult choices inorder to raise her by myself. I finally self diagonosed after years of medical ignorance (doctors are people mechanics not gods). Sometimes I get angry for my lost years but you make me so much more thankful for my daughters good health and 'future yuppie life'. I found this support and a local group after years alone. Recently there have been negative posts about non-factual and personal posts filling up the mailing list. I personally LOVE this part of celiac mailing list. It is what makes it human and not just cold facts. I, too, am new to this whole email thing; as a full time student time is precious yet I spend hours creating celiac files. When I get my system complete I will offer to SHARE it with everyone. A great big hug and thx for your post. E-mail me personally if yoy like at LeeBoots@ aol.com
