CD damage can persist for a long time

[Guest guest]

The summer 2010 issue (http://www.celiac.nih.gov/NewsletterSummer10.aspx) of the NIH.gov's Celiac Disease News just reported, "Recent research supported by the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) shows that for many adults with celiac disease, tissue damage persists after 5 years of adherence to a gluten-free diet. The article, "Intestinal Damage from Celiac Disease Persists in Adults, Even with Gluten-free Diet," summarizes the 5-years-plus study at the Mayo Clinic originally reported in the February 9, 2010, advance online issue of the American Journal of Gastroenterology.Not good news, but it clarifies for those who are frustrated that their intestinal damage is persisting that they are not alone. "After 5 years on a gluten-free diet, Murray [Mayo's ph A. Murray, M.D.] noted, one in three adults with celiac disease still showed intestinal damage."This sets me to wondering if my wife's rare "gluttened" symptoms

(after 3 years on the diet) are not due, at least in part, to villi that have still not completely recovered despite the appearance of having done so in an endoscopy.

You might want to consider B12 spray (http://products.mercola.com/vitamin-b12-spray/). I have not used this myself, but I do use many of Dr. Mercola's products including his multivitamins and vitamin D spray, and I think they all are the highest quality on the market.
