<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> A long time ago I asked about people who had taken Flagyl to cure amoebic dysentery and had then later developed or been diagnosed as having celiac disease. There were perhaps ten who responded. I dropped the ball, but a querie from a doctor sent me searching thru files today, and then I came across a note from Sylvia Genders LeReverend (4//29/97) saying that she had suffered from dysentery when living in France as a kid, drinking water from taps at school...and "my innards have never been the same since." My question is now, how many of you have had dysentery, NOT been treated with Flagyl, and still developed celiac disease? The case here may be that dysentery weakens the gut and is a causing factor, not that very strong medicine called Flagyl. Any opinions? Gayle Kennedy
