<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Hello everyone, I was diagnosed as having celiac disease about three months ago by my general practitioner. However, he downplayed the importance of a biopsy, and said that all I had to do was follow the diet and all would be well, and so therefore it wasn't that important for me to go to see a GI. I've changed my mind about this for two reasons. First, it seems that although things have improved somewhat, I've reached a sticking point, and I don't seem to be fully recovering, and perhaps the GI could shed some light on the reason. (Perhaps because I am accidentally ingesting gluten, and i just don't realize it.) Second, after reading posts to this list I realize how important the biopsy is in order to rule out other problems. So, my first question is, can someone please recommend a good GI in the Austin, Texas area, who is familiar with CS. (I've seen lists, but they don't really tell me how good the doctor actually is, nor how familiar he is with CD). My second question I is this: I realize that Coca-cola won't tell anyone what's in their secret formula, but I would love to know how other people have reacted to Coke Classic as well as Diet Coke. These drinks are one of the few "grey areas" in my diet, so I'd love it cleared up once and for all. I'd appreciate a personal response to these questions, and I give my thanks for any responses to this post in advance. :) -Tarek Austin, Texas, USA
