<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> greetings to all, my significant other, who is a veternarian doing a great deal of work on sled dogs and such with the same type of intestinal problems, asked me to find out how often others with with cd for more than five years, go to their Drs. for check-ups. I am of the flavor that if you stick to the diet, and are feeling ok, why bother going to the DR. only to be told to stay on the diet. so, thanks to all who responded to my request for info on how often do you visit your Dr. to see how your doing. The reponses ranged from every 6 months with their reg Dr. and less often with their GI Dr. Then next responses in line were many at a yearly visit with their Dr. , then the next responses were those who never went except for yearly physicals and the last bunch of responses were more in line with with how I personally approach life on the GF diet. never go unless you are ill, and if you know that you messed up on some food, you already know why you are ill, so why go to a Dr. to be told to stick to the diet. Thanks to all for the info, very informative. dick flaharty fairbanks, alaska current temp is -30 F, gotta start wearing pants...
