<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Hi, I hope some of you may be able to offer information/advice...I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease in July, following intestinal surgery in April, and had a second biopsy done in December after being on a gluten free diet for five months. The doctor has since told me that my intestine is still showing severe damage. During this time, I have been extremely careful, never eating outside the house, and phoning about food products, toothpastes, vitamins. We've bought a bread-maker and a new toaster, so I can't be getting trace amounts from those sources. I really don't know what more I can do. The doctor suggested that there are a small number of Celiacs who the diet doesn't work for, and they require Steroids of some sort to heal. Does anyone have any insight about this? Could it just be taking me a little longer than most? I generally feel a whole lot better, but the damange is still there. Thanks for any help. Denise in Toronto
