<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Hello Fellow listmates - I have been on the K U Liver Transplant list for nearly 3 years. While having all this testing done (3 yrs ago) it was discovered by KU medical center that I was Celiac. The extreme damage to my liver was beyond repair. On the 22nd of January, I will be making about a 600 mile road journy to having all the pre-ope. test done. I then will be placed on the criital list for a liver. I live in a very small town with a Doctor whom I care about but he knows next to nothing about Celiac Disease. I am petrified but at the same time quite anxious to elimante the word pain from my life. I thought I would take a moment of your time to see if any of you may be able to offer suggestions. I cannot afford to drive to K.U. for every apointment. Here Goes......Do any of you know if the undetected Celiac Disease could be the source of my sever liver damage? And #2, after I recieve a new liver, will I still have Celiac Disease? Any imput would be greatly appreciated. If it matters, I am 36 years old, (too young to die) female and shaken in my Kansas Boots. Your Friend....Deb
