<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> If you live in the Fort Lauderdale area (Miami to West Palm Beach) I have good news for you. I will send you privately the name of an RD that knows CELIAC problems inside out and she is very affordable. She even has a radio show that pretty much concentrates on diseases of the digestive tract and how to help improve them. On one of her shows she was interviewing Elaine Gottschall B.A., M.Sc.(Breaking the Vicious Cycle, The Kirkton Press) and they concentrated on CELIAC, Crohns and other similar diseases. Too bad that the Hospitals didn't require their dieticians to listen in they would have gotten a real education. By the way, I bought the book and found that it is basically a low carb diet that works very well at stopping diahrrea. As a refractive CELIAC, I found good results within 24 hours and as long as I stayed on the diet I actually had constipation, a welcome change after 64 years of regular diahrrea. In defense of at least one very progressive Hospital, or CELIAC support group meets at the Cape Canaveral Hospital which is very responsive to the CELIAC's cause. Their dietician attends every meeting and regularily provides good info on good eating habits. I drive 200 miles every month to attend these meetings which I credit for saving my life. I wish you all had the availability of this group, which is exceptional. I do recommend that you try to get your local hospitals to provide similar support. Who knows you might get a very young GI doctor to moderate the meetings that actually knows what he is talking about. It can be done as Doctor Murray at University of Iowa is probably a regular guest at the Iowa City Support Group meetings. Too bad that it doesn't happen enough around the world. Maybe it's our fault for not working to make it happen?? If you need a model of the ideal support group I will contact the key players in our group and try to organize their idea of the best way to make it happen.
