<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> At the time of my diagnosis, my gut doctor informed me he had another patient, a woman in her late 50's also a Celiac. She was being put on a FEEDING TUBE because she refused to maintain the GF diet and had sustained enough permanent damage (I believe scar tissue) that she was literally starving to death. Compliance seems so much more pleasant. ;-) Danelle Sorensen Kansas City, KS, USA [log in to unmask]
