<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Dear List Members, I received 92 responses in regards to my 3 questions about Celiac. 1. How many of you were diagnosed as adults. 80 of you were adult diagnosed 12 of you said you always had it.(If the truth were made known, I guess we all have had this condition since infancy - maybe even before - but the symptoms were "hidden". 2. Did you experience food allergies as a child. 23 of you said yes, 32 of you said that you didn't have childhood allergies. Pretty close numbers there. 3. What brought on your symptoms of CD Prenancy - 10 people stress - 21 people Sickness - 18 people Poor diet - 6 (a couple of you said drinking too much as teenagers) Don't know - 5 people My heart goes out to so many of you that have other major health issues in addition to Celiac. You have my respect. I don't know if this helps any of you, but it has for me. Thanks for your responses. You are great! Doris P.S. I wrote a dr. friend of mine who lives in Russia. He told me that they treat CD with Vodka! Interesting.
