Guest guest Posted December 4, 2002 Report Share Posted December 4, 2002 Arline, Thanks so much for all of your insight and knowledge on Celiac's Disease. I finally had a chance to check my emails today, but have not been able to look at all of the websights you gave me yet. I plan to soon. Man, have you done your research. I guess we have to when dr's aren't much help. After you avoided dairy and grains, all of your vulva problems went away? Is that right? Thanks again for your help.

A special PCR test has to be done to detect them and even then they are so small, there is a lot of false negatives. Despite the false negatives, some doctors have prescribed long term anitiotics as a trial and found the patients have improved. Here is one lab's report on mycoplasmas and related conditions including fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome. http://www.imd-lab.com/mycoplas.htm They are now curing rheumatoid arthritis with antibiotics. Just like ulcers. Lynn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
