That may have to replace a favorite of mine: waiting for liver damage to dx alcoholism. <BR/><BR/>I am one of those that had negative blood work, negative biopsy for CD - but ultimately figured out [without help from the medical community] that gluten is not my friend. <BR/><BR/>The gluten intolerant world has seen lots of changes in the past 5 years that I've been GF. We are slowly seeing recognition and some acceptance of Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity. Thankfully, doctors such as yourselves, Dr. Fine, Dr. Scot Lewey, Dr. Rodney Ford, Dr. Marios Hadjivassiliou [just to name a few]; all help to further the awareness and acceptance of the fact that the effects of gluten go far beyond the current gold standard medical definition of Celiac Disease.<BR/><BR/>Keep up the good work! In 10 years, the rest of the world will have caught up with all of you.<BR/><BR/>AlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30983428.post-66910216141359709282009-01-10T17:39:00.000-08:002009-01-10T17:39:00.000-08:00I posted a link to this blog on three celiac forum...I posted a link to this blog on three celiac forums. I used Enterolab about 9 months ago to identify sensitivity to gluten. I have two gluten sensitivity genes - DQ1 and DQ2 and positive values for gluten, casein, and tissue transglutaminase with evidence of malabsorption. According to the traditional celiac community, I cannot have celiac disease. That's fine - I don't think of it as a disease anyway - just a genetic difference (I have older genes;) An elimination of gluten and casein have virtually eliminated migraines I have had since childhood and joint pains that I attributed to getting older are gone completely. Hopefully, your work will open the eyes of the traditional celiac community to the wide range of gluten sensitivities. Thanks for your work and I hope to see your book released soon.<BR/><BR/>LBDAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
