Good news!

For celiacs and others in Canada, the new anti-inflammatory drug called
Celebrex from Searle is now available. It became available in the States in
early January & I've received posts from American celiacs who were very
happy with Celebrex. The best attribute of Celebrex is that unlike other
anti-inflammatories, it does NOT cause ulcers or internal bleeding with
long-term useage.

The bad news: it may not yet be accepted by extended health plans - still
gotta work on that detail. Cost is approx. $1 (Canadian) a pill.

Now, about the So Nice soy drink. The company ran short on funding last
year, but just recently another maker of soy drinks (So Good - the
reconstituted drink from Australia) decided to purchase the assets & plant
etc. of the So Nice company. This drink was marketed both in Canada & the
States, was totally g/f (no de-proteined wheat starch in So Nice) and it
came in a variety of flavours. Hopefully we'll soon see So Nice back on our
store shelves. I'll let the list know as soon as I can get confirmation
from the new owners.
