<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> I have several questions, so I will try to stay as brief as possible. My first question regards the results of a biopsy on a five year old boy. This particular five year old has had years of abdominal bloating, intermittent diarrhea, and recently went from the 95th percentile in weight to the fifth percentile. His father is from Ireland. He was recently found to be lactose intolerant. After his biopsy, the results showed abnormality but not clear cut Celiac Disease. Instead of the villi being completely flattened, they are "hammered". His doctor does not feel his results are conclusive CD so he wants to put him on 5 Tblsp. of King Arthur's Flour daily for the next six weeks and rebiopsy him. His mother, a personal friend, is beside herself. I offered to try to get some ideas for her. My questions would be, does anyone have info to share on hammered villi? Is six weeks long enough to rebiopsy to see a dramatic change in the villi? How does one incorporate 5 Tblsp. of flour into the diet? Has anyone been through this sort of thing before? My next question is that my family will be spending the week of the 18th in Punta Gorda, Florida. Does anyone have suggestions for dining out with a two year old and obtaining great service for a gluten-free diet in the Punta Gorda area? My last point, is I apologize for my reference to Kellogg's Corn Pops and Temptations Honey Roasted Pecan being manufactured the same. My first telephone call to Kellogg's several months ago provided me with the indication that the two cereals were indeed manufactured the same. When I called back after seeing Jim Lyles' response, the Kellogg's representative told me that the Corn Pops are manufactured on a seperate line and are therefore, completely gluten-free. Temptations is manufactured on a line where other cereals are manufactured posing the threat of contamination. All of the ingredients are gluten-free and the lines are thoroughly cleaned down in between productions, but there is a risk, although the representative thought it was minimal, of cross-contamination. I apologize for not stating this more clearly, but I was not informed thoroughly when I first called. Because we will be heading to Florida on Sunday evening, please email me privately with any answers to my questions that you may have. Hopefully, I will be able to shed some light on my five year old friends dilemna before I leave and I hope to have lots of recommendations for gluten-free dining in the Punta Gorda area.
